Our big boy!

jackson-help.jpgJackson has been getting so big, so fast! It seems in the last few weeks he has almost outgrown all his clothes, even the ones that were big on him when we arrived here in the US. He has loved playing on the playground in my parent’s neighborhood, and having Grandma and Grandpa around to play. His vocabulary is expanding, although very slowly, and he still doesn’t say much without being prompted. He babbles constantly on his own, and I think is convinced that he is saying something that we understand. :) He’s become a really sweet brother to Morgan… he had a rough week the first week she was home, but since then has accepted her into our family. He is our little helper!

Slovak visitors

1 week old

morgan awake web.jpgHere is Morgan at about 1 week of age. Her eyes really aren’t open all that much, so we sure enjoy when she decides to wake up and look around! Her schedule is still somewhat backwards - she tends to be awake from about 9 or 10 at night until 1 or 2 am. But she’s starting to sleep for longer stretches at night (3.5 to 4 hours vs. 2.5!), so Mom is enjoying a little more sleep too. :)

Morgan Grace is here!!

3 days - website.jpgOur beautiful daughter, Morgan Grace, was born Friday Dec 29th at 8:05 pm. She weighed 6 lbs 7 oz, and was 19.5 inches long.

We came home from the hospital yesterday, and are all doing great, except for being pretty tired. She’s a little backwards on her nights and days right now, so we’re hoping that will change around soon. :)

I had a doctor appointment on Thursday, and had agreed with the midwife that if our baby wasn’t born by Wed of this week (1/3), that I would be induced. I had been hoping that I would go into labor on my own before then, but had finally started to think that we really would have a 2007 baby (we had been so hoping for a Dec birth). Well, just the next day at 1 pm my water broke! We got to the hospital at 2:30, my contractions started at 4, and she was born at 8:05. Nice and quick!
