Morgan Update

So Morgan is going through this little "thing" where she likes to cry for a long time when I put her down for bedtime...like right now! So I decided I would distract myself and write about it to see if she calms down while I am busy..yeah..still crying. I guess she has gotten used to all the wonderful attention she gets from Mom, Dad, and Auntie Kenzie. She really loves to be cuddled and held. It is really funny cuz when she is tired and trying to fall asleep she has this other thing she does where she scratches at my skin kinda like a kitten does with her paws. She also likes it when I put my hand over her face, which my sister tells me is odd. All in all she is an awesome baby and we all love her to pieces!! I would just go pick her up right now but I know in the end this is the best for her....still crying. Well that is what is going on with Morgan right now, more pics to come soon!

The Academy

Well, Trevor is now starting his second week in the WA State Patrol in Olympia, he started last Tuesday May 22nd for the beginning of orientation. He said they feed him breakfast, lunch and dinner, which is really odd for my lovely husband who's breakfast consists of mountain dew and either a chili cheese dog, burrito or corndog. He is doing very well to say the least. This first 7wks is called the "Arming Class" and he will be learning about self-defense, guns, driving, physical training, nutrition etc. He is very excited to be there and can't wait to get out and do more and more. It is military style at the academy but Trevor said it isn't as bad as he thought it might be and I am kinda looking forward to someone getting in trouble there so I can hear all about it, but so far no stories. Trevor is really loving his new job so far, I will keep you guys posted as new things happen at "The Academy"!

Mother's Day

This is my very first Mother's Day, and to say the least it was great! Trevor is gone in Michigan so he isn't in any of these.

Auntie Kenzie and Sweetie

Auntie Kenzie just came to live with us about a week ago..this is her and Morgan today..oh sweetie!

Morgan's Plaything

Morgan is barely starting to recognize her surroundings so I put in under this toy sometimes, I think she likes it but I am not sure.

Kelly Big Belly

WOW!! Have you ever seen a belly that big?? Well Morgan took up a lot of room I swear! This is going into the hospital on Morgan's birthday at 39 wks. It was a planned inducement because of my gestational diabetes. We went and checked in around 9 am and little sweetie was born at 7:30 pm that night, piece of cake..or at least that is what I wanted to eat!

Chillin Out

Aahhh..livin the good life...this was probably after my awesome epidural, just havin a good old time!!

Morgan Ruth Herrud

Here is Morgan shortly after she arrived sometime after 7:30pm...her best is yet to come!

Just the Three of Us

Trevor, Kelly and Morgan for the first time...together forever and ever. We were so excited especially Daddy we could barely stand it!! We have been in heaven ever since.

Proud Grammy Lux

This is Grammy Lux lovin on Morgan. She was able to fly in all the way from VA for the birth and watch the delivery. She was thrilled to be here and stayed for 3 whole weeks to help with the baby and break in the new parents!

Daddy and Morgan

Trevor took on the role of Daddy right away with no problem. To say the least he is a natural, probably more than me. I love to see them snuggle, it is the cutest in the whole world!!

Mom and Morgan

Morgan and me...that pretty much says it all!!

Morgan and the buddies

I was introducing Morgan to the buddies our first day home, it was love at first sight. Especially Spring is very protective of her, any little noise she makes he is right there at her side.
