Lily's Christmas Choir Recital

New pictures coming soon!

She's here!

Born on Thursday, December 3rd @ 4:11 p.m. Elizabeth Amelia-Joyce Morgan made her appearance. Weighing in at 7 lbs 5 1/2 ounces she was still considered pre-mature at 36 weeks. She wasn't very happy at my final dr appointment..wasn't moving around & her heart didn't fluctuate after I drank some juice. Dr. felt that we needed her to be born that day. It was a good decision. The cord was wrapped around her neck and her movement had decreased over the past few days. She has been in NICU since Thursday, but everyday is a better day. She was taken off the ventilator on the 2nd day and they removed the tubes & IV yesterday. She has jaundice so she is currently being treated for that, but other than that she is doing really well. I am so thankful. We are in such a great hospital..she is in great hands. Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers! I know they have gone a very long way. I should be going home tomorrow and hope to have Elizabeth with me. If not, the pediatrician feels she won't be too far behind.

She is so beautiful and I can't wait for Lily & Mark to meet her!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am so thankful for everyone I have in my life! Thank you all for being who you are! I couldn't ask for better friends or family. I love you all!!!

I know...I'm a slacker! :)

Sorry for the huge delay in pictures! I am so exhausted by the time I get home I don't even want to turn my laptop on. Look at my counter! Just 2 weeks until Elizabeth is here! Yay!!! Here are some pictures from the baby shower Reno through for me :)

I promise to make Jim take some on Thanksgiving so we can send more.

Another busy week at the Morgan House!

Last week I went to the hospital on Monday and was released same day...no worries! They gave me some medicines to help get me through the next few weeks!

Mark had his 18 month check up. My oh my how time flies! He was 24 pounds and had two shots. Poor kid. Monday he had the H1N1 shot and then his boosters on Friday. He is doing very well. He definitely knows how to say a lot of words, he just chooses not to use the right ones all the time. In roughly 3 weeks, I hope to be home with him!

I'm definitely looking forward to Elizabeth making her appearance. These last few weeks are always a killer on the body. My poor kids don't get to do as much of the fun things as we usually do. I should start thinking about getting my Christmas shopping done! Yikes!

I hope everyone had a fabulous week and as soon as I turn the computer on at home, I'll get some new pictures uploaded.

Cowgirl Lily

Lily went to a Halloween party with her friend Rachel and got to dress up in Rachel's cowgirl costume.

Weekend at Gatlinburg!

We had a great weekend in Gatlinburg with our good friends! It was a great short trip. Here are just a few pictures.

I uploaded a few more pictures to a web album.

Weekend

Our weekend was jam packed! Jim & I volunteered Friday, Saturday & Sunday for the Halloween at the Zoo. We do this every year and have a blast doing it. Year before last, I was volunteering at just about 2 1/2 months pregnant, so definitely a difference with this years 8 months. I survived and had a great job though!

On Sunday before the zoo, we took kids to the pumpkin patch. Photos above are the best I got. I need the pictures from everyone else because I must have been facing the sun at all times :) The ones above are of Mark feeding a goat. He loved it! Lily had fun making sand art and feeding the animals as well. They also went through a corn maze and climbed up the barrels of hay.

Family Love!

Thank you, Cindy for sending this pictures to me!!! Here are some from Lily's camping trip!

I love this picture...my child is always eating.

Mark missed Lily SO much, he was SO happy to see her when she got home!!!

Saturday at Loveless Cafe

On Saturday, Mark and I joined Laurie, Brent & the kids for fun at Loveless Cafe's Fall Festival. There they had bluegrass music, free biscuits, petting zoo, horse rides, pottery, face painting, etc. Mark had a great time with the animals. Lily was having fun camping with Grandma & Papa! I'll send some photos of her if I get some from Cindy :)

After the festival, Jim & I met up and did some registering for baby items.

Happy Tuesday!

What's going on Today? Well, Lily had to get two teeth pulled and one filled this morning putting us at the dentist for roughly 2 1/2 hours. She is home now eating some Ramen noodles and watching Spongebob. She did really well.

Mark is at the daycare, happy as ever. He turned 17 months old on Friday. He is as rambunctious as ever. He is babbling a whole lot and has great motor skills.

Today is Jim's Birthday! Happy Birthday! We celebrated with Jim & Reno at Red Robin (Yum!) on Saturday and tonight we'll be going to his favorite restaurant, Omni Hut. We only frequent that restaurant on his birthday, so he is really excited. Judy will be joining us there.

I have my 30 week appointment on Thursday. I've been having lots of contractions since last week, so we'll see what she says about that. It seems like the more kids you have, the sooner things start happening. Either that or the fact that I haven't known I was pregnant for very long. Bebe is kicking away. She can now reach my rib cage and has lots of fun there. I can't complain though! 9 weeks left!

I'm going to try to get a Halloween picture taken and out in the mail next week.

Happy Friday!

Things are great so far today on this dreery Friday! We made two placements at work (i.e. we found an extra 2 people a job today) we get to go to lunch and celebrate a birthday and after work Jim & I get to have an adult night alone tonight. Lily & Mark get to have a fun night at Grandma & Grandpa's. I'm getting this weekend started off the right way! Hopefully the rain will stop so by tomorrow Jim & I can go to the Christmas flea market in Nashville.

I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!

I have the most awesome-est friends Ever!

10 weeks to go!

(Thank you, Kate!)

Definitely can tell I"m pregnant with a girl now...Puffy face Haha!
Pregnancy is going well! I'm uncomfortable with two pinched nerves, but I deal with it just fine. It's just temporary (hopefully). Besides that and being fat, I am having a very uneventful pregnancy. At least now you can tell I'm pregnant, so instead of having the ones who are afraid to ask me if I'm pregnant because they're not sure if I just have extra baby weight from the baby I"m holding, I now get the "You will have your hands full" comments. People are funny. I just tell them that I will enjoy the ride!
