A family update

Sorry for the lack of posting and no it's not because the baby came!

It's been a roller coast of a week in our household with Matt being hospitalized for 4 days for a medical mystery. He developed atrial fibrillation on Sunday and was admitted very quickly upon our visit to the emergency room. Several drug cocktails later, his body responded and everything returned to normal. He's got medication and is following up with the specialists to confirm there is no underlying cause and that this was a fluke. Since he's been home we've talked to a lot of folks we work with and it's been reassuring to hear this is more common than we thought. At least 2 people I work with and 2 that Matt works with have had this same issue and a few have even had to have the surgical procedure to correct it. We're just thrilled he's back home already and we're trying to convince him to relax a bit!

The kids are all doing well and really starting to get excited about their new sibling. At 36 weeks today I realized this is when I gave birth to Sarah and Sloane! We're hoping to make it to 39 weeks+, which is when my c-section is scheduled for as it will allow me to deliver at the more local hospital. If I go into labor on my own prior to that, I'll have to deliver at the larger hospital that is a bit further away. Both are excellent hospitals, so we really can't go wrong :)

More later with pics of the kids!
