Sleepy People

Baby Romes is getting big! He will be 7 weeks old tomorrow!

This morning, after his 7am bottle, he fell back asleep til 10am!!

So, I did too!!

A well-rested Mommy = A Happy Mommy

Thanks Baby Roman!

What do you know for sure??

This last weekend I had the blessing of being able to go downtown with my Mom and Sisters to "Time Out For Women." It is kind of like a mini Education Week or Women's Conference. They do it all over the Nation. It is sponsored and put on by Deseret Book. This year they finally came to Salt Lake City! It was a lot of fun and very edifying. There were several great speakers, including Sheri Dew, Michael Wilcox and Wendy Watts Nelson. Jenny Oaks Baker did the music on Friday night and Hilary Weeks was there for Saturday. It was really fun. I really suggest you look into going next year! You can find out more by clicking HERE.

The theme was SWEET ASSURANCE. They talked about the sweet assurances that we have here on this Earth. They asked us to think about this question:

What do I know for SURE?

...

• Well, one thing I know for sure, is that when all is said and done, all that matters is my family. My Husband. My Baby Boy. Not my house, not my car, not the clothes I wear, not how much money we make, NOTHING.
• I know that the Savior lives and is real and is here for me.
• I know that families can be together forever, thanks to the Atonement and the blessings of the temple.

What do you know for sure? I would love to know...

On this day...

...

on this day, 3 years ago,

i married mr. casey b.morgan.

on the morning of that day, i woke up totally calm

and collected. i was not one bit nervous.

i knew i was making the best- and the most right decision

that i would ever make.

this morning, 3 years later,

i woke up with that same feeling.

it's true.

it was the best decision i ever made.

and this morning when casey kissed

me goodbye as he left for work...

i knew it could only get better from here.

happy anniversary, case.

i love love LOVE you!

An End of October Catch up!

We have been busy here at the Morgan Household!

For starters, last Sunday, Baby Roman was blessed along

with his two cousins.

{Sorry... for some reason the below two pictures won't rotate...}

Mommy Kisses!!

Our new little family...

Grandma Morgan... Me & Roman... Grandma Harris

~~~

We are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family.

It was such a sweet day!

Casey gave Roman such a beautiful and sweet blessing.

Our hearts feel full this week.

...

On a side note, Case and I made pizza tonight.

Homeade crust and all.

I had to take pics. It was so freakin delish.

{Sorry, I just was really proud.}

...

And moving on...

We had a great Halloween this year.

We are finding out that everything is just a little bit

more fun with a little baby side-kick.

Watch your back!

This was the scariest Dino on the block!

See how scary?

Ha ha.. the little guy was all tuckered out!

Soy-Man and Romes.

...

We had to make a stop up to the J&E Morgans house.

Jared's sweet Mom makes all these millions of

doughnuts every year for all the trick or treaters and the parents!

Its so fun every year to go and get our doughnuts. :)

It was a great Halloween!

How was yours??

A BABY KISS FOR YOU!

TODAY

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

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.

Baby Niece #5...and Holy Cow I am 9 months pregnant...

This picture was at a Baby shower with

2 of Casey's Cousin's wifes...

We are each 8 weeks apart.

I think I must have been about 5 months pregnant...

What a difference a few months make!!

Wowza!!!!

This baby boy is getting BIG!

I have been such a slacker at sooo many things lately,

but one thing I can not put off any longer is the honoring of my new baby niece coming into the world....

~ CAMRY GRACE ~

Man, she is CUTE. She weighed 9 lbs 6 ounces.

And she was 2 weeks EARLY! Sheesh!

My Sister is a trooper!

Anyway, she is so adorable and I love love her already!

{She was born almost two weeks ago...again, slacker.}

And here are the two new cousins meeting for the first time.

They must have just been so excited they passed out. :)

I have to think that they are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their

boy cousin.

{It's a first for them!}

Today as I was making dinner, the thought came to me that our little baby boy must be just as excited to come to Earth as we are! And in Heaven time, he is going to be here in like... 5 minutes. That is SO soon. The realization of how our lives are about to change is setting in.

We feel so blessed and excited and anxious!

His clothes and blankets are washed, folded and waiting.

His room is finally all together.

Now all we need is, him.

Gosh, we love him so much already.

Jaidyn Sariah Harris

Beautiful Baby Jaidyn was born to my brother,

Bryan and his cute wife Jessica,

on Monday August 31st.

She weighed 7lbs 130z. and was 19 inches long.

She is adorable and looks a lot like her Daddy.

Although she for sure has her mommies luscious lips!!

~~~

We love you Jaidyn!! Welcome to the World!

{P.S. ....it would have been my Grandmas Fullmer's 95th Birthday that day.

I am pretty sure Grandma's up there chillin with all the new grandbabies coming and teaching them a thing or two about taffy-pulling and surviving many sicknesses and being born on the day the Titanic sunk.

And making dolls out of Hollyhock flowers.}

I love you Grandma. And I miss you. Happy Birthday...
