Our first week

We have now had a full week with our sweet son Jacob. He continues to be a sweet, gentle natured little guy, which is such a blessing with a family of four under 5 years! We all adore him and are having so much fun getting to know him. Here is a video of Baby Jake's first week!

Welcome Jacob Curtis

We would like to introduce the newest member of the Morgan family. Jacob Curtis Morgan was born at 12:37 am on March 18. He weighed in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. Mommy, Jacob, and Daddy are all doing well. Jacob has soft blond hair, chunky cheeks, and a sweet disposition. He has been eating and sleeping well, so far. Luke, Ben, and Gracie were able to come to the hospital this afternoon and meet Jacob. All three are in love with him and it is a joy to watch their interaction with him. It is amazing how quickly the bond develops between siblings. Luke is especially attentive and loves to hold his baby brother.








Thank you for your continued prayers for our growing family!
Love,
Jeff, Mer, Luke, Ben, Gracie and Jake

6 years and counting.....

I can hardly believe that today marks our 6th wedding anniversary!!! It really seems like just yesterday! Thank you Lord for the gift of marriage and all that you teach us about Yourself through each other. Thank you for the gift of my husband and our six years together!!

Here is a short clip of photos of our last 6 years (plus our dating year). When making this video I realized that we have become horrible at taking pictures of just the two of us once we added kids to the picture, but I am going to try to work on that!

Countdown....

So we are definitely in count-down stage of this pregnancy. The boys are getting so exited asking every day if today is the day! At our last appointment my OB informed us that she thought it would be sooner than later and did not believe for a moment that we would make it to our due date on the 22nd! The OB is concerned that our little one is going to come pretty quick, and with my fear of delivering at home with three little ones watching, she suggested that next week they just go ahead and break my water so that I am already at the hospital. This is not our first choice, but we are also really afraid of Jeff being at work far away and not getting home in time!

That information has caused a round of activity in our house with last minute details. I was supposed to work this weekend, but decided that I really did not want to go into labor at work (even though it is the hospital) because then I would have hospital germs on me when I first hold our son. :) So, I will no longer be working until after my maternity leave.

My mom was able to bump up her flight and is coming in this Wednesday, and Jeff's parents decided to come down for the weekend to help us out just in case. So now that all these details are taken care of, I have a feeling our son is going to take his sweet time getting here! :)

So, now we wait and countdown the days til we meet baby brother. Last night Luke and Ben both colored pictures, and made sure they found a spot in the suitcase so I can give them to their baby brother when he is born.

Official countdown is 17 days......so stay tuned :)
