The Nashville After Shower

While visiting Nashville for Christmas, my amazingly beautiful friends gave Amelia a shower. As you can see from the pictures she enjoyed every minute! It was great to visit with everyone and actually get pink clothes, since most everything we got was gender neutral. Not only did she get great clothes, she also go a beautiful Barbie Otterphol original hand made blanket. We enjoyed great food and delicious cake, and Amelia was an angle the whole time. Thanks to all my incredible friends for such a fun party!

Amelia's First Christmas

We spent Amelia's 1st Christmas in Nashville with her Grandma and Grandpa Baughn. We woke her up (that was a first) bright and early to see what Santa had brought her. As you might of guessed it was way too much for someone who really did not know what was going on! Her, and my, favorite gift was her 1st Huggum's doll. Every girl in our family has one and we all got them on Christmas! We enjoyed our Christmas day visiting with the Grandparents, Aunt Katie, Aunt Hanna, Aunt Jodi, Uncle Jonathan and Cousin Daniel. The kids played with their new toys and the adults played with their new toys, Guitar Hero and Wii. It is hard to believe that Amelia is already 6 weeks old.

The First Weeks of Life

Amelia has been busy these past three weeks. She enjoys sleeping, eating, pooping, puking and starring at mom and dad with her big brown eyes at 3 o'clock in the morning. We enjoyed Thanksgiving with my family. I hosted and Granny catered. She went for her 2 week visit and she now weighs 10 lbs 8 oz and is 22 inches long. She also enjoyed her first girls lunch with her "fairy godmothers", Amanda, CA and Bethany. However, her biggest accomplishment these first few weeks has been discovering how to cover mom and dad in poop as they change her diaper. There is nothing quite like getting squirted in the chest with poop at 2 a.m.

It's a Girl!

Amelia Lucile is here! After 5 1/2 hours of labor and 4o minutes of intense pushing, Amelia entered our world on November 15, 2007 at 6:20pm. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 14 oz. and 21 inches long! She came out with her eyes wide open and a great set of lungs. Shortly after being evicted from her warm, cozy womb, she was whisked away to the crowd of paparazzi waiting for her in the hall. After some eye ointment, needles, a good scrubbing and kisses from her granny, she was brought back to the loving arms of her mother and all was right in her new little world.

The Belly

At 37 Weeks the belly is really getting out there. I can assure you that the baby has taken up every square inch of the inside of my abdomen. I can feel distinct body parts every time the it moves, and we know the baby is head down because I can feel it's feet nestled up in my rib cage. It is hard to believe we only have 3 weeks left, but even harder to believe my belly could get any bigger.

Baby Showers

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family that have showered us with baby essentials. Thank you to everyone that hosted and came to our showers. We had a wonderful time at all of them.

Baby Morris's First Photo

It took three ultrasound sessions, some coffee and a chicken biscuit for our cute little bug to finally cooperated with the camera, but eventually we got some great pictures and a little smile. We do not know if we are having a girl or boy, but we will find out in seven weeks!
