Yes, I'm being lazy...

But I have a really good (and cute) excuse.

We welcomed Connor Joshua Morrill into our family on July 15th. He weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 21 inches long. After weeks of having start-and-stop contractions, Connor came roaring into the world 45 minutes after we arrived at the hospital. (If we have another, we intend to camp out on the hospital grounds as the due date approaches...)

So today I just have pictures for you guys. But they're really cute, and hoping that makes up for a short post.


Me, McKenna, and my "big belly" as she called it. This was taken just a few days before he was born. It was the only shirt that fit me.


Connor when he was about 10 minutes old. And you'd never know from my smile that fifteen minutes before I'd been sobbing to my husband, "I can't do this! I can't do this!"


His first bath. The calm before the storm...


McKenna and Connor. And, yes, she's just as delighted about being a big sister as she looks in this picture.

Congratulations!!! What beautiful pictures! Those fast births can be stressful...I had home births, but still, nerve wracking.

Thanks, guys! He was totally worth the stress/ouch-factor :)

Sierra, I had an epidural with my first. Had labor lasted very long, I probably would have asked for one with Connor as well. I'm super wimpy about pain! And, yes, I'd love to be on your blog sometime. Send me an e-mail at your convenience: Stephanie at StephanieMorrillBooks dot com

Congratulations, he's so so so cute!! Love the last picture, too!:)
Btw, I was wondering, Steph -- did you ever get the questions for the interview at my blog? It's likely that you didn't, because it seems that, for some reason, whenever I send authors emails for interviews, it never gets to them the first time.. ooh. Unless they just forget about them and delete them.:P

Stephanie Morrill said...

No, I didn't, Emii! Please try resending them.

Sierra, I'm so sorry to just now be answering you! I got called out of town unexpectedly and just got home last night.

How about if we do an e-mail conversation? I've never done an interview like that. It sounds fun :)
