I'm Here!

Dear Friends and Family:

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have arrived. My name is Calvin Hale Matthes
I was born 1:30 pm on June 23, 2000. I weighed 7 pounds and 2 ounces, and measured 19 inches in length at the time of arrival.
I've included a few photos from today so that you can see me when I'm still hot out of the oven, getting weighed, my first bath, putting on my first outfit, and hanging out with dad.
Mom and I are doing great. Can't wait to meet you all!

If you want to see my 'other' web page, check out WebNursery ,
This is where the hospital made a web page for me.
You can even send me and my Mom and Dad a note on it. It's pretty cool.
But grammy says this is still my FIRST web page.. hehe..

This is me in the hospital WebNursery photo.
Dad takes better pictures, so I'm just gonna have him take all the rest.

Subject: Calvin Update!
Date: Tuesday, 11 July 2000 18:04 (6:04pm CDT)

He had his 2 week check up at the doctor today and he has gained 20 ounces! The doc made an oinking sound when he told me!!
Doc said he expects babies to regain only their birth weight by two weeks (actually it has been 18 days). So I guess we have an oinker on our hands!
He has grown an inch and a half, however that measurement is imprecise, at best. The nurse laid Calvin out and used a pencil to mark the top of his head on paper and then stretched his legs out to mark his feet and then measured the line!
But, I did see the scale do it's job and that was pretty precise! He is looking great! His umbilical stump came off today so he is all set!
He is so beautiful and I am enjoying him.

It is amazing how much he has changed in such a short time. He is looking more like me except with dark hair and skin. But he changes so much, one day he looks like Mark the next day me!
(excerpts from a letter from Calvin's mother)

Calvin update: July 19, 2000
Calvin is thriving!!! I took him to Mark's office to show him off to the nurses and they weighed him.
The little oinker now weighs in at 9 lbs. 4 ounces!
He has gained 14 ounces in one week! OINK.
