Is it Really . . . Cheaper by the Dozen???

Well, I guess we'll find out!!  If you follow our blog, you will have noticed we had our 12th child 2 weeks ago, yesterday.  We were blessed with little Morgan Elaine on Sunday, April 17th.  She has been a little angel for us . . . Daddy thinks we've never had one quite so good, but Mom's not sure if she's so different from several of the others.  I do know that her nighttime sleeping is better than any of the others at this age.  She has slept up to 5 hours at a time, and I have not had to resort to a swing or bouncy chair at night.  She is put to bed in her own crib, which is very nice.  In fact, I'm still short a battery, so she hasn't even tried out her swing yet!

Daddy & Morgan on Easter Sunday - 1 week old.

Saturday night - all sacked out in her bouncy chair - and scrunched up, looking all chubby!  What a little beauty:)

Sound asleep - and a picture of her beautiful hair!  None of our children have had so much.  She's gotten a lot of comments about it at the dr's, hospital and pharmacy.  Everyone says it's not normal to have so much blonde hair.  We love it:)

Yesterday - 2 weeks old!  I happened to be able to snap a picture right when she smiled:)  Although her skin is starting to get her newborn rash, pictures just seem to make it look worse than it is.  She definitely has the pink mark on her cheek, but I don't see anything on her chin like this pictures shows - maybe it was her pacifier.

A little more serious!

And last, a picture of Morgan with Mommy.  I have hardly any pictures with my children because I hate asking others to take them, but I had Rachel do it last night.  It's probably the only one I have besides the hospital picture!

Oh, yeah - I guess that wasn't last!!  Here is a picture of Morgan's quilt that I made 3 years ago, when I was waiting for Hunter.  Finally able to put it to use!!  I hadn't bought backing for it when I bought the quilt front fabric.  I'd decided to use minky if I happened to have some that would work.  Looking through my stuff, I found the exact amount of lavender and yellow to fit the back.  I think this was the first quilt I used minky on.

Today Morgan goes to the doctor for her 2 week check up.  I'm just assuming she has plenty to eat and is gaining since she is so happy!

Hope you have a wonderful week.  Love, Elva

  1. She's a dolly-hopefully she'll keep her hair! Love the quilt-how do you like quilting on minky?

  2. Thanks! I like quilting on minky. Some people say it's troublesome, but I haven't had any problems. I think the minky dot might cause a little more trouble because of possible stretching.

  6. Beautiful baby to go along with all the other beautiful children you have. Love the hair, most babies don't have quite so much at birth.
