Don't mess with me!

I started to say that life is continuing as normal around here, but that wouldn't be quite accurate. Forrest and I are adjusting to life with two and getting reaccustomed to waking at night for feedings and diaper changes. I have to say that we are blessed with a good sleeper though. Last night Aevery slept a full 6 hour stretch before waking to eat...not bad for only two weeks old.

Forrest Jr. is doing great and loves being a big brother. Right now he is eating up all the attention he gets from daddy being home. He has developed some very interesting vocabulary though. After church last week they handed out candy to the kids as they were leaving... of course they hand it out as they leave. Anyway, he had one piece of chocolate and we told him he had to wait till we got to the restaurant to eat the rest. About 15 minutes down the road Forrest asked me if i smelled peanut butter. Sure enough when I turned around and looked at our little angel in the back seat his face, hands, and clothes were smeared with the remains of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I said "Forrest, you know you weren't supposed to eat that yet" and he said "Don't mess with me Mom, Don't mess with my candy". Well what did I do? I laughed my head off.
Don't mess with me buddy!

Here are some photos from the last few weeks:

Forrest loves his new jersey. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma. He is also enjoying his new Fire Engine that he convinced mom and dad he needed.

He enjoyed holding him at first, but then he said that his little brother was too heavy.

Easter Eggstravaganza

On Saturday we attended the Easter Eggstravaganza here on base. Forrest Jr. had a blast hunting for Easter Eggs, sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap, playing in the jump house, and running around like a crazy kid with all the other crazy kids hyped on sugar. It was a ton of fun and all the walking, hot dogs, and candy are probably what put me into labor.

Aevery Jeremiah Morgan

Our new addition has finally arrived! Aevery was born at 12:06pm April 5th, 2009. He weighed 8ibs. 1oz. and 20 inches long. I started having some light contraction around 1:30am on the 4th, about 1o minutes apart, but I thought for sure they would go away because they were so light, so I stayed in bed and slept. At 9am I took a shower and my contractions jumped to 2 to 4 minutes apart. We arrived at the hospital at 11am and were shocked to find out at that I was already 7cm. Within an hour of arriving at the hospital we were holding our new little man. We are so blessed to have another healthy little boy.

Forrest Jr. is taking the transition to being a big brother very well. He has been singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow to his little brother. I think he was hoping for more of playmate, but that will happen soon enough.

Still Waiting...

Well, we are still waiting for this baby to be born...looks like I will be overdue. In the mean time we are trying to keep ourselves distracted. Here are some photo's from the last few days.

This is how Forrest is spending his down time these days.
