  • And the fun begins...

    We get to go home today!!  We are in the process of getting our orders written so we can come home and our baby wouldn't be a Morrell baby without some phototherapy lights to come home with .  Yes Elijah too like his brothers is jaundice and will be coming home to light therapy for a few days.  Thankfully this will help Judah transition to having baby at home since he has to remain under the lights except for feedings.  It worked well for Asher to transition with Judah so I am hoping it will go the same.  We are excited to have this little boy at home and to see what life with three little ones will be like. 

    I will attempt to update but I am sure it will be a little less often   and I will be reading and trying to comment as well!  Hope you all have a great week!

  • Aww Sleep :-)

    Last night was the best night of sleep I had in quite a long time.  I know and your thining what sleeping with a newborn, but he did great!  He ate every 3 hours and went back down pretty well except for at 4:00 a.m. but he eventually went back to sleep.  Its amazing how simple things seem the third time around with a newborn knowing how much work it is with the toddlers   I am now hoping that he will continue his routine during the night but we shall see

    Feeding seem to be going well and I got to change my first poopy diaper   Can't wait to see his little bum in a cloth diaper   Just thought I would post while I am still in the hospital because I am sure it will seem as if I dropped of the planet for awhile once I return home.

  • update...

    I would love to continue my posting on couponing but I have something much beter to update on! 

    Elijah James has made his grand debut in the world!  He was 8lbs 2oz and 20 1/2 inches long.  He is just perfect   This little boy came into the world completely different than his brothers.  With the other two boys my water broke first and really no contractions until after I had an epidural.  This time my contractions started early saturday morning and continued all day long off and on on saturday.  The contractions were between 7-15 minutes apart saturday evening so we took the kids to their reformation day party and then trick or treating through the neighborhood while they began getting closer to around 5-6 minutes apart.  I came home from walking and laid down thinking they might slow down but they didn't so we headed to the hospital at around 10 last night.  He was born at 7 this morning 6 days before his due date.  This is the earliest I have delivered a baby   He is doing great and I am too other than being tired.  And of course without further waiting here are a few pics of our newest baby boy!

    The boys are unable to come to the hospital because they are trying to keep from spreading swine flu.  Asher however continues to ask lots of questions though and can't wait to meet him.  Judah I am sure doesn't understand where his Mommy is.

  • Yesterday was great weather!  Although I love this fall weather today too

    The plumbers were here all day yesterday working and are here again today too.  They had to cut a couple of holes in the walls and in the closet in the boys room to place extra pipes.  It made such a mess with dust.  They were great about cleaning up everything else but the dust was everywhere.  After a long afternoon/evening of cleaning I was definitely ready for bed.  But I must say that the boys' room is now organized and clean something that I was wanting to get done before baby comes.
