There's a new baby at our house!!

Literally!


Taggart Ray Morgan was born on April 3, 2010 at 11:45 am after a stinking-hard, eighteen-hour-long labor, and the worst pushing EVER!!! He was born at home, surrounded by family and friends and weighed 10 pounds, 2 ounces, and was 22 inches long. His hands are about three inches across.


He's enormous. But still little, anyway. I'm well aware that Mom has me beat here and there's no way I'm going after that championship title. No thank you.


He is such a cutie though and we love him so very much. He has dark, shiny, soft short hair, and velvety, albeit peeling skin, dark baby blue eyes and the sweetest little lips and busy baby tongue!! From this side of things it is easy to forget that he was 13 and a half days overdue!



Tyler is elated. The siblings are delighted.



Lily is ULTRA-possessive. ("My baby! My turn!")



And Marie is exhausted--but she didn't tear, even a little bit! YAY!!



Hugs and kisses to all! Thank you for your love and prayers!

Now we just need a collective fast to end this perpetual winter weather!!! This is the view from our back door, right now. No kidding. It's obscene! We're supposed to get 12 inches. . . grrrr!
