It's a Girl!

Introducing Morgan Ann/Anne Allison.

Morgan was born Tuesday evening at 11:24 pm, 5 lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long. We didn't find out she was here until Wednesday afternoon, although we'd known she was coming for about a month.

We met her Friday afternoon at the hospital - here's the first picture of all four of us. We then went to a hotel and met back up with Morgan's birthmother on Saturday afternoon to bring her home.
You're probably wondering about the Ann/Anne - we're still deciding which way we want it to be.



Kaylyn is a very excited and possessive big sister. She constantly wants to hold her baby sister and doesn't like it when anyone else holds her, especially if it's not Mommy or Daddy.


Last night, after the visitors left, Morgan was in the bassinett of the pack-n-play. She got a little fussy. Kaylyn climbed on the step stool beside the pack-n-play so she could reach her. She gently patted her and sang "I Am A Child of God" and Morgan fell right to sleep. What a great big sister!


And for those who have asked "What do you need?", I've added a list on this blog (look to the left) of things that we would like/need.


Granny and Poppa brought Nana over Saturday night to meet the new addition. Here's a picture Kaylyn took of Nana with Morgan.

You're probably also thinking - why didn't they tell me?! Don't feel alone. We really only told our parents and Nana. We didn't want to jinx the placement so didn't want to say anything until we had her in our arms.

Snow!


It snowed last night. Kaylyn couldn't wait to get outside in her snow suit to play today. Unfortunately, our camera is not liking the snow so the picture isn't as good as I would like.
