Grandma Pat Visits

Pat came this weekend and Connor loved all the attention...and the present! Tommorrow Ray goes back to work and our "new normal" will start.

What day is it?

Being home everyday I am loosing track of days and know this maternity leave thing is going to be done with the snap of a finger. I'm going to post a lot of blog updates just to help myself remember what we have been up to. Connor so far is playing very nicely with Ryan and gives him lots of kisses on his head. The Ziegler family stopped by Saturday morning and Connor did an excellent job of sharing with Eileen.

1 week old

Has it really been a week? Ryan went on Wednesday for his first pediatrician appointment. We were in there about 5 minutes, the dr just kept saying "he's doing great, do you have any questions?". He has already gained his birth weight back plus half an ounce...she couldn't believe that he wasn't a formula fed baby.
We got flowers from Ray's work, very pretty! The outfit is from Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Travie it says "little brother".
Grandma Pat comes tomorrow to meet her newest grandson.

Thanks Grammie

The best thing about the induction was my mom was able to come see Ryan be born and give us lots of HELP! She cleaned the whole house, including wiping baseboards. Made meals, did laundry, played with big brother Connor and kept the sanity. Thanks Grammie!

Ryan Comes Home!

They gave us the option to come home at 24 hours or 36, we picked 24 and got to sleep in our own beds Friday night. Ryan is doing great and Connor is being nice...so far.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

I was induced Thursday 8/11/11
Breakdown:
9:00 arrive at Christ Hospital
10:30 get hooked up with fluids and pitocin to induce labor
2:05 first contract I could feel, it was STRONG
2:45 get an epidural
Loved my epidural this time, could feel my legs the whole time and could tell when I was having a contraction.
6:30 started pushing
7:00 Dr. Allen came in
7:36 Ryan John Moorman entered this crazy world weighing in at 8 lbs 4.2 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long.

He is huge compared to peanut 6lbs 2ounce Connor at birth

39 Weeks

Last belly picture, big baby about to arrive!

Mr Potato Head

With it being too hot to play outside we have been getting our fair share of Disney Movies in. Connor's favorite: toy story 1 and 2. One of the characters is Mr. Potato Head. Ray came home Saturday with a big Mr. Potato head and inside are 4 smaller potato heads. Connor slept with one of them Saturday night and another one Sunday for nap...he's in love.
The baby car seat is installed in the Pilot so we are now ready for this baby to come out.

38 weeks

Trying to get in last minute things that we want to do as a family of three or things that are just easier to do with out two kids.

blessed

Ray and I feel so blessed to have Connor in our lives. Being a parent is the hardest job on the planet but also the best. Can't wait to meet baby #2! Here is Connor wearing a flip flop of mine and cheesing it up for the camera.

Hopefully this is my last belly picture. I'll be 38 weeks on Wednesday and go to Dr. Allen's office that day.
