Ballerina?

Morgan loves to play with her hands. I feel some of these poses resemble some ballerina stances???? Maybe we will have a dancer on our hands!

Or maybe she'll be more into gansta rap... "Bounce wit me, bounce wit me..."

Hungry Baby

This is Morgan and her "C". That is what we are calling the maternal grandmother. Morgan got a little hungry and started sucking on C's face. We thought it was pretty funny. Here is Morgan hanging out in the boppy pillow. She's so cute!

And here are Morgan and Ruben hanging out watching PTI on ESPN with Daddy:

Good Report!

This is Morgan as we are leaving for our first Pediatrician's appointment. I was dying to see if she had gained any weight. She weighed 5 lbs 13 oz when we left the hospital, and when we went back for a 2 day check up she still had not gained any weight. Well, we found out she weighs 7 lbs 2 oz! I took this as a personal victory, since I'm breastfeeding. The doctor was hoping that she was at least back up to her birth weight, so he was more than pleased with her weight gain. Now maybe some of her cute clothes will start to fit! The doctor visit went really well otherwise as well. My new name for Morgan is Miss Piggy. She also snores and it sounds like a pug dog!

By the way, Morgan had an extremely fussy day that day. For some reason, she immediately went quiet when I put her in the car seat. When we got home, I didn't take her out for 30 minutes so I could get some things done. The car seat is mighty constraining. Who knew this would be her favorite seat in the house (other than mama's arms)?

Where did it go?

We had a big morning here in the Trusty house. We woke up for our 5:00 am feeding, and we needed a diaper change. This is where we discovered Morgan's umbilical cord finally fell off! It's been hanging on by a thread for a day or two now, so I was incredibly excited to see it had fallen off. I also noticed that we lost a sock in the middle of the night. Now the question remains, where did it go? We cannot find the umbilical cord stump anywhere nor the sock. Sort of gross...

Anyway - here are some new pics as well. Ruben is finally showing a little more interest in Morgan. They came face-to-face for the first time today. I'm also obsessed with her hands. I wanted to take a picture before they get so big I can't remember how tiny they used to be!

Sweet Baby Girl

This is my first post since we got home - sorry! We have been super busy with lots of company and "settling in". I must say, things are going really well. The adjustment period is just that - an adjustment. But I think the new mama and daddy are hanging in there. Morgan is so good though. We are really lucky. She's so much fun to just stare at. Who'd a thunk it? Below is a sweet picture of her in her crib with all her stuffed animals. I swear she's the sweetest thing I have ever encountered. And I truly don't feel I'm being biased (I'm sure every mom would say the same thing). Matt is the best daddy ever too. I think he is more in love with her than I am sometimes! Thanks to everyone for all the calls and emails. We feel so blessed. Hope you enjoy!

Mama has done really well the past 36 hours. She is taking a little nap right now. I just like to link the pictures. I've kind of taken to this blog thing. Hopefully, Ruben will allow Morgan into the pack.
Hope y'all enjoy. Matt

Baby girl is here

***MATT POSTING***
I am under orders to get back to the hospital pretty quickly but I wanted to give you guys a couple pics of Morgan. She is doing fine and so is Mom.

Ready or Not...

Here's a picture of the big mama. I can't believe that I'm about to lose this belly. It's going to be a bit sad to not feel her moving around in my belly anymore. But I'm sure having her on the outside will be more fun! Keep us in your prayers!

Babies Everywhere!

I would like to congraulate the Rowe and Harris families on thier new additions! My friends Heather and Meg both welcomed baby boys into the world this week, Heather on Thursday and Meg on Friday. No baby yet for me! I am so jealous of Heather and Meg, and I can't wait to meet their little ones. I have had so much fun going through and analyzing each day of pregnancy with them. Pregnancy is really much more fun when you have someone to go through it with you! Matt and I are going in to the hospital at 5:30 Tuesday morning to induce labor. Morgan has just resisted and not felt like coming on her own. Please be praying for us! Stay tuned....
