On Monday, March 3 (his actual due date) at 3:48 PM we welcomed Miller Isaac Upton into the world. He was 9 lbs. 2 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches long...and Maria delivered him completely naturally (when your wife delivers a 9 lb. baby with no drugs, that is worth bragging about!). Mommy and baby did beautifully and we had no complications (praise the Lord).We came home on Tuesday evening and then were back in the hospital with jaundice from Thursday until Saturday morning. Unfortunately that makes us 0 for 2 in having a single hospital stay when our children are born (Maria had a serious infection after Maxwell was born and was back in the hospital for a week followed by 10 days of outpatient IV antibiotics). That was the only downside...and hopefully on our third one (Lord willing we have a third child) we'll make it in and out of the hospital with no return visits!
Maxwell adores his little brother, showers him with kisses, and tells him, "Miller, I love you!" After telling Miller he loved him several times, Maxwell finally looked at us and said, "I wish he could say he loved me back." So sweet! We'll obviously have more about our two boys so stay tuned!

What a handsome boy!! You go Maria on delivering a 9lb baby naturally-IMPRESSIVE!! Glad everyone is doing well.
Great pics of Miller and such a great story about Maxwell loving his brother. It really captures how tender and sweet he truly is! We love those boys!!
Hi Uptons - Congratulations on your new baby boy! I found your blog a couple of months ago and have enjoyed seeing updates Maxwell and the rest of the family. Sorry that we have been out of touch with y'all for the last few years. Maybe we can actually catch up with y'all in person at some point! - Jodi (Hottel)Wooten
Congradulations Matt and Maria. Miller already resembles Maria with a little Matt thrown in.
Matt you probably take after your Dad in the tootin business.
Love Great Richard and Doris.
