Moonlighting Photographer

I am the oldest in my family and until a couple of years ago where the only married, procreating one's as well. 

That has come to an end with not one, nut two babies due in our families within a few weeks!

I feel privileged that I got the chance to capture their beauty and bellies. 

Two different shoots, one in nature the other urban-I love them both and can't wait to meet my nieces!

 Sabrina and Dan are expecting Amelia Marie near the end of May.  My sister and I are 10 years apart so I never thought we would have young kids at the same time so I am excited to get to experience park dates and other mommy adventures together. 

 Robin and Eric are due June 5th with June Alexandra...Eric and Robin dated for a decade.  Both of their birthdays are in June and so is their anniversary (a great meaning behind their name is you ask me!) and another Morgan baby has been much anticipated.  The birth of June could land on Robin (2nd) or Carson's (4th) which would be extra special.

It's a...

Baby!

A big high five!

Arm and profile. Profiles are my favorite and I think he looks like Caitlin.

Sucking his thumb

We are having a BOY!

We are thrilled! I has guessed girl but couldn't be happier with another little boy. Caitlin will continue on as the only Princess and rule the house. She'll be in the middle of two boys but she can take it!

Carson was jumping up and down in excitement, however I don't think we will be consulting him on names because his consist of Spidey, Finn, Jakie, Nick, Pixar Cars, and Ha.

Here's to getting a bigger vehicle, moving Caitlin into a bed, getting cold weather boy stuff...and the list goes on! Yeah!

My Belly Bump

Anyone else getting sick of just seeing my kids on here...trust me they are much cuter to look at! This pregnancy is flying by and this is my first belly picture at 19 weeks that I had to remind Andrew to take. This poor kid is already flying under the radar!

We have our ultrasound appointment this Friday and are anxious to know if we'll have another boy or a girl. We each have our guesses but it's always a 50/50 type of thing and we'll be happy with whatever we are having.



What's your gender prediction?

Caitlin Mae Morgan

Caitlin was born February 21, 2010 at 8:04 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is precious!

I was induced earlier that morning, with Pitocin started at 11 am and things progressed rather slowly...I am not patient and was kind of bored but enjoyed the resting while I could. They checked me at 7:00 pm and I was only dilated to a 4 but contractions were strong and really close together--I was feeling the pain! The pain got worse and I remember telling Andrew, "I don't think I can do this" minutes before announcing that I needed to push at 8:00 pm...the staff thought I was joking because they had just sent everyone to lunch...until they checked and sure enough she/I was ready! At that point it all happened so fast. The hospital staff was scurrying to get everything in place and less than four minutes after feeling the "urge" she was here!

Because the doctors were initially worried about her size I didn't get to hold her for almost an hour while they assessed and Andrew help bath her. She is healthy and a great eater so far.

My first time holding her.

Compared with labor with Carson this time was much better and once things got going super fast. Last time I pushed non-stop for almost two hours and was swollen, puffy and worn out. On our way home yesterday Andrew commented on how much better I look than last time, I am glad he noticed!

Carson is enjoying having a little sister. When he came to the hospital the next morning to see her for the first time he was given a present from Caitlin, a play-doh set with which he played with most of his visit there and all day at home as well-with the gift he was won over. He has also been a good helper only needing a few reminders of gentleness when he tries to honk her nose and pry open her eyes to "hake up!" and several "please don't jump on the bed near her head"

Father and daughter, I love it.

We are in love and definitely have our hands full now!


We will post more picture soon...yes we are like the paparazzi!

Announcement!

Ever since we announced the pregnancy I have been anxiously awaiting our ultrasound appointment and it was this afternoon. Like a good patient I drank the ordered 3 glasses of water plus some orange juice in hopes of an active baby however, the baby was in the same position almost the entire time, head down with back up, all curled up. The technician even had me take a walk-so I ran the stairs for 5 minutes. The technician said that she is more than 90% sure of her conclusion.

Here are a few pictures, the baby is sure flexible! Carson was positioned the same way in the womb with feet over head. The baby is measuring a little small for my due date with the exception of the head--lucky me!

We are thrilled to announce that...


52% of you were right! To be honest, I am still pinching myself. It is hard to believe that we are having a girl because the Morgan genes have been predominantly male so I never even wanted to think of having a girl so I wouldn't get my hopes up but we couldn't be happier and the pressures off next time! I can't wait to buy some girl things and might even go tonight!


Carson's going to do great because he is already such a ladies man...I mean the neighbor girls flock to him. To think that he and "the girl" will be in high school together is pretty cool but Andrew brought up the fact that Carson's friends will most likely have crushes on her so we are being proactive and having Carson practice, "step-off" he's already got it down!

I can't wait until she comes, I am so happy!
