WELCOME COLLIN BRADY MORRIS TO THE WORLD


Well he's here! Hurray!  Am I'm not pregnany anymore!  Double Hurray!  One night I'm watching the family bowl at the Cedar Bowling lanes, being all huge and pregnant, the next morning come 4:00AM my water breaks!  So I casually get Cordelle out of bed, have him call my brother to come stay with the kids, shower and meander my way over to the hospital.  Of course I still don't go into labor on my own so they get me on pitocin and those contractions start coming good and hard.  Thank heavens for some pain killer I've never heard of that made things spin a bit but seriously was AMAZING and then of course the epidural.  Dont know how you crazy people do it without one!  But 4 pushes and little Collin Brady was out!  He is beautiful. Weighing in at exactly 7 lbs and 19.5 inches (exactly like Jaquelle) and man are they identical to me (with of course one major difference :).  

Pre-baby bath
Ahh.  Clean, post bath baby


so tiny.

The biliruben lights.  Poor guy had to be on these lights for about 8 hours but they didnt make us stay an extra night thank goodness because his levels had gone down dramatically.  Fascinating what these lights can do.  How did they ever cure jaundice in the olden days? 

I can't believe Brett and Tiffany drove all the way down to see Collin.  But it was a great surprise.  I think almost everyone in my family was down at some point during my hospital stay.  I am so blessed with such great family!

Bringing him home.  With cousins there too, the kids were so excited for their new brother to be home.
