A BABY KISS FOR YOU!

....................

MELTS MY HEART.

4 weeks have come and gone so fast....

But it seems like he has been with us forever...

Little Rome's is growing up so fast already!
It's amazing how I have just known him for 4 weeks,
but I feel like I know everything about him.
And I can't remember life without him!

He is such a good baby.
He usually sleeps til about 4 am every night.
We can't complain about that!

This is Casey's cousin Alex, and their baby Lily.
She is 4 months older than Roman.
{Have you ever seen a baby with more hair?}
She is adorable!

Everyone comments on his big beautiful
blue eyes and his great skin.
Both are true.
His Daddy has great skin too.
Must be genetics!

Casey has excelled in every way possible in Fatherhood.
He never ceases to amaze me!
He surprised me with an amazing "Mommy" gift.
I will have to tell you about that one later!
{It's good ladies... one word ...Tiffany's!}

He loves his bath time!
He could easily fall asleep in there if we would let him!
Being a Mommy is the best thing ever.
We love you Baby Rome's!

Making lots of Memories...

Our great friend, and the talented Tara Shreeve came over a week or two ago and took Roman's first official baby pictures. Here are some favorites. We are still waiting to see the rest, but I am sure there are more cute ones to come!

I didn't think it was POSSIBLE
to love Casey more than I already did.
But then we had a baby.
I have no words to explain it.
You just have to go through it to know it, I think.

We are so deeply grateful - every single day-
for the joy that Roman has brought to our lives.
I always imagined what Parenthood would be like...
this has surpassed all of my dreams.
It's amazing how I have only "known" him for 3 weeks,
but I feel like I know him so well.
And I love him so deeply.

I just wish I could slow down time...

He Has ARRIVED!

I am going to try to tell you in the shortest way possible,

about the most amazing day of my life.

{Next to getting married, of course...}

So, last Tuesday I went to my usual Doctor's appointment and my Blood Pressure

was miraculously high. I think it was a gift from Heaven.

My Doctor asked me if I could be back to the hospital and 6pm

and we could have our baby! It was such a huge surprise!!

So, long story short, that's how we ended up at the hospital two weeks early,

ready to have our sweet baby boy...

They made me wear a mask most the night because I had a "cold."

The nurses were all germa-phobes.

{ p.s. look how huge my belly was!! }

2 in the morning and delirious...

Casey wanted to hold up 10 fingers to represent that I was finally to a 10!

After 18 hours of Labor, it was finally time to push!

{That's right... I said EIGHTEEN. }
well, it was really twenty, but anyway...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

And then, he came. After pushing for only 45 minutes,

this precious baby boy was looking me in the eyes.

Roman Michael Morgan

Born 9.30.09

2:06 p.m.

9 lbs 1 0z.

and 20 inches long

See? I told you he was staring me in the eyes...

Casey was so sweet and perfect during my whole labor and delivery.

He is such a good Daddy and has been so extremely helpful and supportive.

I am so lucky to have him.

We are in love.

Here he is with his two other cousins that were born this month!

Melts. My. Heart.

Getting ready to go home...

So, there ya have it.

Having little Roman in our lives has made us happier then I could ever imagine. We feel so blessed to be trusted to raise this little boy.

I am so full of emotion 24\7.

I can't even tell people how much I love him or I just start crying!

Needless to say, we are so happy.

A little exhausted, but happy.

This blog is going to become a Roman blog.

Sorry. I just know it's all I am ever going to want to talk about.

I am one of those Mom's. I am just warning you in advance.
