Day #13

Day #12

First official outing

We decided to go out to eat tonight at Chili's and make a run to the store with Garrett. He was very good! Slept the entire time. He was cracking us up the way he was sleeping.

Curious Garrett

A movie of him from yesterday. Liz was trying to sleep and Garrett was wide awake.

We're going to bath him now for the first time.

Garrett Day #2

Liz is doing much better today. She's now able to get up and walk around. Breast feeding has had a few challenges, but it's getting better and we're confident that we'll have no problems. The Lactation Specialists have been awesome! Garrett now has a rash all over his body. I forgot what it's called, but it it normal and will be going away within a week or so. It really shows up when he gets mad. He does has a large lump on his head from problems in the birth canal and it's expected to go away within a month. He's now 8 lbs. 4 ounces, so he's been having good poopies.

We're very happy.

Garrett Robert Morris has arrived!

Garrett arrived sometime around 2:45 MST (3:45 CST) today. He was showing signs of distress, so they ended up having to do a c-section. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 12 oz. and is 21 1/2" long. During the surgery, the doctor kept saying "wow what a big head." It was pretty funny.

Liz is doing great. She's very tired. I came home to let Dad and Carolyn in the house and to download movies and pictures. Also got a shower in. Going back tonight to sleep with Garrett and Liz.

He has a pretty deep cry. Dad kept saying how much he looked like me at newborn. As the hours go by he looks less like me at newborn, I think. We'll see as these first few days go by.

I tried uploading a movie of him being measured, but the blog doesn't seem to be responding tonight. Will try in the next few days.

Baby's room finally finished

We just need to put his dresser in there (tomorrow) and his crib will be bought probably next month.

Being the camera geek that I am, I'll tell you that the white balance on the photos is a little off. The light made the room more yellow than it really is. So the color saturation, etc. is a little misleading, but you get the idea.
