Just wanted to get some pics on here.

Trouble

I knew we would be in trouble the day snow fell. Well this morning came when there was enough to cover the ground. From bed I hear Josh say to Morgan "Look outside, what is on the ground?" Morgan answers "Its Christmas." As she runs to the bedroom and says "Mom, come look... it's Christmas outside" So we look out the front window discussing snow and Christmas. Why are we in trouble you may ask?? For a child with no time concept yet we needed a way to tell Morgan that the baby wouldn't be here any day soon. So we had told her that the baby would be coming after Christmas. It actually hasn't turned into too big of an issue yet, but when we were putting our coats on Morgan did ask "is the baby still in there?" I am sure there will be more conversations about this later


On a separate note, one of the reasons I started a blog was so I had a place to jot down the silly things Morgan says. So yesterday morning, she walked into my room and I asked Morgan how she slept? Morgans reply "with my eyes closed!!!" Thanks Morgan for making me laugh

Ultrasound, Finally

We decided to find out what we were having this time. Although a few people had guesses as to what it was, most were wrong. We are pleased to announce that we are HAVING A BOY!!!!
Here are some pics. Unfortunately they were unable to get many 3D shots of our little one.

New Baby

Yes, all (or most) of you know that we are having a baby. we actually found out in May that we were expecting. However due to 2 past miscarriages we learned our lesson and wait to tell everyone until we were a little further along. So we waited until we had our ultrasound at 14 weeks. The coolest thing was they gave us a disk with the ultra sound pictures. What could be more appropriate on the new blog than the new baby. With that said here are the first pictures of out new little one!!!!
