He is finally here!!

Our new little Bundle of Joy arrived this last weekend. Reid Scott McArthur was born on January 22nd at eight thirty one in the evening. He was 9 lbs 2.2 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long. We are so excited to have our sweet little boy with us. We arrived home today and Avarie is loving being a big sister.

Update

I am sorry everyone. It has been a while since I was able to post. Things have been a little bit crazy around here. Derrick is now officially in school which started on January 4th. He is liking his classes, but some of it is review from his undergrad work so some classes he gets a little bored. He was told by the previous class to hang on through the first month and then that would get better. He has been so excited to get going on things and seems to be doing well. His first test is this friday so we will see then, but knowing him he will do wonderfully.
Avarie is still growing like crazy she is a sweet heart. She plays and talks all day. It has been so much fun to watch her grow. She does have her days where she gets a little mischevious, but other than that she has been an angel. She is starting to learn her letters and tries to sing the ABC song, but doesn't always get the letters in the right order. She loves to count too, but says 321 instead of 123 ( I think this is because daddy counts down when he is going to get her or do something silly).
Me I have been doing ok. I am ready to have this baby. I will be induced Monday January 25th though if I dont go into labor this week or weekend. I have had some Blood pressure issues, but nothing horrible other than lots of tests and one overnight stay in the hospital. The doctors I think are being cautious which is good. The baby although seems to be doing fine. They have monitored him closely and we have testing done twice a week and he is always doing perfectly so we are happy about that.
I hope everything is going well with all of you and we love hearing from you through your blogs.
