Grandma Laurie and grandpa Burt were at the hospital during my labor and returned the next morning to enjoy the fruits thereof!
My friend Angie is a former co-worker and one of the many girlfriends who politely excused me from Happy Hour for the past ten months.
My friend Angela and I hadn't seen each other in many years and broke the silence when she showed up at the hospital. It was wonderful to see her again, especially under such joyous circumstances.
Sidney and Tory are among my oldest and dearest friends and started falling for Matthew as soon as he looked at them with those big innocent blue eyes.
Trevor is Jess's 14-year old son from his first marriage and isn't quite sure what to do with his newborn brother. I am sure in no time, Trevor will be giving Matthew guitar lessons and raspberries.
Bumpa was at the hospital when Matthew was born but of course has made frequent return visits since. He is such the proud grandpa to a third grandson! He will be very helpful with childcare when I go back to work at the end of March.
The extended family (including Dan, Danny, Shawn, Susanne, Sherry, and more) have been a huge help to me with their meal offerings during their visits, and giving me a reason to shower and brush my teeth regularly.
Aunt Woob and Rodrigo brought me some champagne on a "Sunday Fun Day" and were all too happy to spend some time with baby Matthew. Can't wait for a play date with Winston!
Our friends Alex and Deborah brought their daughter Maya over when Matthew was barely two weeks old. Alex and I met about 9 years ago through a recycler ad when we were both looking for fellow musicians, and he eventually introduced me to Jess. 
My old boss Kathi came by to shower Matthew with love and catch up with me and Jamie Bone, our Merit co-worker. It was so wonderful to hang with these wonderful women again!Matthew is very lucky to be surrounded by so many supportive, loving people! We hope the visits continue!
