Morgan -- Week 1

Morgan's Week 1 photo from Saturday, May 10, 2008

Baby's First Bath

We gave Morgan a sponge-bath last night. Ariella's baby book says a sponge bath is a great way to calm the baby down before bed time.

Looking at the pictures below, you'll see that the book is obviously very, very wrong. :-)

More Morgan

Morgan came home from the hospital Monday afternoon. Her first couple nights at home have been a little stressful (not surprisingly). But we're getting there.

Here are a few more photos from her first few days:

Morgan Elizabeth Saucier

At 3:58pm Saturday, May 3, 2008, Morgan Elizabeth was added to the Saucier family.

She was a week earlier than her scheduled due date, but more than ready to take on the world. She tipped the scales at 7 lbs, 14 oz and measured 19.75 inches.

Mom and baby are both doing great. We'll all be coming home from the hospital on Monday.

Here are a few photos of the lil' lady. More to come, we promise.

Almost finished

The baby could arrive any day now. Luckily, our kitchen is almost finished (finally).

The granite guys came by today to install the counter tops. The "L" that runs from the oven and around the sink needed to be 2 pieces. (If you can spot the seam, you win a prize). The other "L", on the bar side of the room, was one massive slab of granite. We figure it weighed between 300+ lbs, based on the look on the guys faces when they carried it in.









Our contractor is coming back on Friday to put in the tile backsplash and finish up all the little details. If all goes well, we'll be able to load up the cabinets this weekend and -- amazing but true -- actually cook in our kitchen. We haven't been able to do that since the end of January. Some of our pots, pans and utensils haven't been unpacked since before we moved to New Jersey from Massachusetts (almost 18 months ago). So, basically, we're really looking forward to having this done once and for all. (Oh yeah, and there's that whole "impending birth" issue, too). :-)

Crown Molding

The kitchen is almost done! Our contractor installed the crown molding on the cabinets today. He has some misc. items to do tomorrow and then Thursday, our countertops will be installed!
