Grandmama and Granddaddy's visit

Well Grandmama and Granddaddy finally got here for their spring break visit and we had a ball with them. Julia was soo pumped!! They came prepared for a winter blizzard and still made room for Julia's birthday loot. She got to open up a present everyday they were here and sometimes 2 or more since we have been getting some in the mail too. There is definitely not a shortage of toys or presents around here. Grandmama and Julia got to make the birthday cake they have been talking about for at least a month now. It was so much fun. G and G also got to spend some quality time with Maggie. Wyatt and I got out a few times and got to act like a normal married couple for a few hours and it was great. We were so glad that G and G got to come for a long visit and we cannot wait until they come back!!

Happy Birthday Julia!!

BLIZZARD 2008!!!
We were homebound all day yesterday due to the 15-20 inches of snow that hit central Ohio. We did venture out as far as the garage to let Julia play for about 15 min. Maggie opted out this time she said it was too cold. Grandmama and Granddaddy are due in late tonight YEAH!!! They were supposed to come yesterday but they bumped it back to avoid getting delayed at the airport. We are very excited to see them and introduce Maggie and celebrate Julia birthday too!! We are holding off our big celebration until tomorrow when they can be here. We hope to play later and attempt a snowman. It was just too windy and snowy yesterday to enjoy it. As you can see it is about knee deep on Wyatt and waist deep on Julia. Hopefully it will begin to melt today and we will not be stranded here for too much longer. Just wanted to update ya'll on how we are making it up here and wish Julia a Happy 3rd Birthday!! We love you and cannot believe how fast you are growing up!!

Maggie Weighs 8lbs and 10 oz!!!

Well Maggie had her big 2 week weigh in today and she is doing great!! The doc said that she should be gaining 3/4 to 1 oz a day and she is gaining 2 oz a day. She was last weighed 10 days ago at 7lbs and 5 oz so she is packing it on. Yeah!!! Julia had school so she missed this trip to the Dr but it was snowing and I don't know how I would have done it with both girls. Maggie then had her first grocery trip and it was so exciting she slept through the whole thing. We should be done with Dr visits until her 8 week shots in mid April. Julia still can't get enough of her she is constantly kissing and holding baby Maggie. It is so cute!!

The Girls!!

Well MiMi left this morning so I am officially on my own during the day. So far so good......Julia had school today and Maggie has pretty much been tolerating all of the in and out of the car just fine. She is the best baby!!! She is only getting me up twice during the night and 2 nights ago she went from 2am-8am without a peep and she is not even 2 weeks old yet!! I will be taking her to the Dr on Friday for another weight check so I will post more then about our growing girl! Enjoy the new pictures. Julia is very proud of her "big sister" haircut.

Maggie is GREAT!!!

We have been having a blast since we brought Maggie home from the hospital. She has been really GOOD as far as newborns go. We have not had any all nighters (yet). She only gets me up 3-4 times a night. MiMi has been cooking non stop to keep us all fed and happy. Thanks MiMi!! Julia is the BEST big sister. She helps with everything and is always so concerned about her. It is soo sweet. We are all staying in today because of all the snow. Julia and I played for a little while but for the most part we are keeping warm inside. Here are some pictures from the past few days. I will keep you posted on our progress. MiMi leaves next Tuesday so after that it may be a while before I have time to even look at a computer. Enjoy the pics!!

IT'S A GIRL !!!

Well we had a Valentines's Day baby!!! Margaret (Maggie) Lynn Morris was born Feb 14 2008 at 1:26pm weighing 7 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches long. She sort of surprised us on her early arrival but we are so glad she is here. I will be posting more details when I have some free time (HA HA HA) Here are some pictures for now. Love to all!!

Baby Room

I have been requested to post baby room pics so here they are, hope you enjoy. Window treatments have been designed but will not be done until the baby is here. Elizabeth (my designer) will be making them and sending them up after the birth. Everything else is pretty much ready. I have been doing a little bit everyday just to make myself feel better in case anything happens early. Yesterday I got diapers and wipes at the store.

Julia has been enjoying her new preschool. She is constantly talking about a boy named Nolan that is in the older class. On the first day when I went to pick her up her teacher told me that she already liked a boy. Thank goodness she only sees him at recess otherwise she would be driving him nuts I am sure. We are trying to stay warm this week. It is VERY cold up here but we do have some snow on the ground so at least it is pretty. I have a Dr appt next week and by then we will be less then a month away from the due date.... I cannot believe how fast it has flown by. I have been feeling fine just tired, anxious, and BIG.
More news to come next week.....
