May- July 2009

Ok, so since I just started this blog I have a lot that I need to catch up on. First things first Eleanor Marie Morris was born on May 8, 2009 at 10:04 am.

This is Greg telling me how long the needle was for the epidural.

She was 8 lbs 11 oz. and 21 in. long. Nice and healthy, she looked absolutly perfect from the very beginning! Greg, my mom, and Sarah were all in the room when she was born so they can all vouch for how beautiful Eleanor was even at the beginning. The very next day Greg and I graduated from Texas Tech University. I was still in the hospital so I didn't go to graduation (I didn't want to anyway) but Greg went and he had a great time and said that the speakers were really great. Lots of family came to see me and the new baby in the hospital.

Great Grandma Eleanor and Baby Eleanor. Eleanor was named after my Grandma.


Gregs' brothers and sister and parents. Carter is on his mission so he was not here and Richard had to work so he didn't get to come either.

We had a party to celebrate Graduation that evening after Eleanor and I were released from the hospital. It felt really good to be able to take her home with us.

This is Eleanor in her going home dress right before we left the hospital.


The first time for Eleanor to sleep in he bassinet at home.



Amber and Zoey and Piper came to see us a few days after Eleanor was born. Piper was excited to hold the new baby with my help. Zoey held her too while Greg helped but she wasn't quite as excited as Piper.

Just two weeks after my baby was born we had to pack up and move out of the house that Greg and I had been living in for the last two years. We moved into a little efficiancy behind the Glovers home. Eleanor had two more months of Lubbock life before her daddy got a job and we moved to Longview, but thats for another blog. Here are some more pictures documenting the rest of our time in Lubbock.

One of the first nights spent in the efficiancy. Eleanor is sleepy...and soooo cute!

Sleeping soundly in her carseat. We are visiting Sandy and probably doing laundry at her place.

Eleanors' baby blessing day. I was sad because the microphone was not working and I couldn't hear but Greg wrote down the things he remembered saying.

Grandma loves her little Grand-daughter!

This was the day Angie and Will finished loading their moving van and we all took pictures of the family outside.

Sleepy girl!



My little girl is getting big and has started smiling a whole lot more!


Yay for the fourth of July! We went and saw fireworks in Amarillo...Eleanor slept through them.

Talking to Mommy while gettting straped into her carseat...lets go shopping!!!

Happily playing with Aunt Sandy!

Eleanors Great Grandpa loves her and made a trip from Carlsbad to Lubbock just to see her before we moved away.

Great Grandma Eleanor loving on Baby Eleanor!

Maggie and Eleanor wearing matching dresses. This was our last Sunday in Lubbock.

Daddy loves his little girl and just like her shirt says she loves her daddy!

Well that will do for now but I will catch everyone up on all that has happened since we moved to Longview in another post soon!
