We had planned a visit back in June, but Morgan made her apperance earlier than anticipated.

We had a tea, cookies, cuddling, and a house tour.

The Stulkens gave Morgan a beautiful original painting of orchids by Gerhilde.  It is sure to be a prized possesion of Morgan’s for years to come.

shapeimage_3

What an amazing month it has been.

Morgan’s Grandparents came to visit for a week and treated her like royalty.  We went for walks and hikes, we had photo shoots, and we had marathon feeding sessions (followed by epic diaper changing sessions).

Morgan made her first trip to Smugglers Cove on Thursday – and loved it!  She was an absolute delight and seemed to soak up the good weather.

Morgan had her 2nd checkup yesterday and she’s gained just over 10 ounces (in a week!).

She’s a happy baby.

Especially at 4 in the morning.

shapeimage_1

We were promptly asked, “Did you bring your car seat?”

A faster dash to the parking level has never been made.

Morgan passed her car seat challenge (1 hour of sitting in her seat to ensure she is properly fitted and getting enough oxygen) and we were given the Royal Boot… woohoo!

We B-Lined it for the exit just in case they changed there minds.

3 hours at Horseshoe Bay (apparently there is some sort of Canada Day celebration coming up) and we were on our way!

I think half of the ferry stopped by and oohhed and ahhhed over our little girl… in other circumstances she’d be the ultimate chick magnet.

A quick stop at Pharmasave to say hello, let them know all was well, and we were on our way home.

H   O   M   E   !

What a glorious feeling – all together again.

(At times I felt like the farmer with the fox, chicken, and corn that all need to cross the river).

Morgan is absolutely a delight and we are just thrilled to be together.

So, 2 weeks and 1 day (and almost 3 weeks since our fateful Monday pre-natal checkup), we are finally reunited in the nursery that was built 3 months ago, following our wedding of 1 year ago, in the house that was bought 2 years ago, all for a little girl that FINALLY decides it’s time to come home.

And now it begins…P1130527P1130484P1130469

She is 12 days old.

We spent the day feeding, burping, bathing, and cuddling.

A better day I have never had.

shapeimage_2

Morgan is doing fantastic… she’s putting on weight (Gobble Guts as Ross so aptly named her) (300 g over her birth weight), she has all of her monitors off, she has graduated to a bassinet, and she’s reached a healthy pink glow.

Her only real hurdle is getting her rhythm with suck, swallow, AND breathe.

Then she’ll be home with Mom and Dad and the real fun will begin.

On Thursday, June 11th 2009 at 8:17 pm, we were blessed with the safe arrival of the beautiful Morgan Lily Grace Lehmann.

Weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and just over 19 inches in length, she has striking blue eyes, a dark head of hair, soft blonde eyebrows and eyelashes, and long, delicate fingers.

Both mom and Morgan are recovering and will be home soon.

My radar should have been alerted when she decides we have to go a CROWDED restaurant (can’t make a scene, honey)… and then I should have been doubly alerted when she opts for tea with dinner (“oh, no red wine for me, thanks”).

And in a lull in the conversation, WHAM!  The B-Bomb is dropped.  Everyone OK?  You can get off the floor now.

So, Lil’ Lehmann is on it’s way!

Pay attention kids: Drinking Pints on the Hot Spot at UBC can have disastrous results.  This shot was taken when we first met in the drizzly days of October, 1997.

And check out that RED hair!  Ask Beth to show you her tattoo =)
