Baby Girl Norton Arrives and Halloween

Well it took a little bit of convincing by induction but we finally had the baby. Megan Ann was born on October 18, 2010 at 10:51 pm. We started inductions around 4:45 pm that day and 6 hours later Megan was here. She weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing good 2 weeks into it. I'm off all meds I was on before. I'm no longer constantly nauseous and finally have my appetite back. Megan is doing well and sleeping in 3 hour stretches at night. We've had a few rough nights but for the most part it hasn't been too bad. I'll take a few sleepless nights anyday over throwing up for 9 months.

Logan's has been an excellent big brother, helping with diapers, playing and talking to her. Even though she was crying the first time they met.

Overall we're doing really well. We had friends bring us some dinners and I'm having a diaper shower this weekend. We should be well stocked after that.

Halloween snuck up on us this year. Logan and Dan went to the Zoo Boo yesterday. Logan trick or treated around the zoo. Megan and I didn't go but she was still dressed in her festive Halloween pumpkin outfit.

Logan was dressed up like a knight. We made the costume from grey sweats (the shinning armor) and a dressed up pillow case for the tunic. He helped make the crown and the sword and shield were bought at Hobby Lobby.

Up next Thanksgiving and Christmas!
