{sweetest boy EVER}

OK, you've got to hear this story....

Yesterday at preschool, Gerard's teacher asked each child what his/her mom was really good at. She went around the circle, and when it was Gerard's turn to answer he said "I have to think about it some more." She continued around the circle, and most children answered things like "My mom is good at washing my hands" or "My mom is good at buying me video games" and things like that. When she finally returned to Gerard, he said "My mom is really good at filling me up with love." Isn't that just the cutest thing you've ever heard! My heart just about melted when I heard that. My sweetie....

And today I took Morgan for her 2 week check-up. The doctor said she's doing great, and she's gaining weight like a champ. She's already in the 75th percentile for height and weight.

That about wraps things up here. I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I'm sure we'll be spending it outside as much as possible -- it's supposed to be in the high 70's all weekend!!!

Here are some more pictures, just as I promised....

{more to come}

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but as you can imagine things have been busy around here. Everyone is good. Morgan is sleeping nicely and she's a pretty happy baby. She really only cries when she's hungry. Gerard is adjusting to life as a big brother very well. He loves to kiss and hug Morgan, help with feedings, and get diapers. He doesn't have any interest in changing diapers, but he always needs to check to see what's in the diaper after she's been changed. Weird, but cute.

Anyway, I should have time in the next day or so to upload more pictures, so be sure to check back!

First of all, thank you for all the comments, e-mails, calls and well-wishes. Things here are settling in. Morgan didn't sleep much her first night home, but the last 2 nights have been better (if you call eating every 2.5 hours better). At least she sleeps between feedings at night.

Here are some more pictures -- her first sponge bath (she wasn't a huge fan!) and some random ones from today...

I haven't had a chance to really go through all the pictures yet, but I thought I'd post a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

{morgan has arrived!}

Guess what? I knew I didn't have to be induced! Morgan came on her own, on her due date (today), at 2:40am. She weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. We're at the hospital now (isn't wireless technology amazing?!) and should be here until Sunday. I'll post pictures sometime after we get home. Thanks for all the well-wishes and happy thoughts!

{change of plans}

My ultrasound went well today. She's 7 lbs, 9 ounces, and the fluid levels, etc. are good. So, I decided NOT to get induced tomorrow. My next appointment, should I make it that long, is scheduled for Monday. I'll still keep you posted!
