Miscellany Monday

Hey, homegirls.

The only reason I'm blogging right now is because Maggie is still asleep. She went to sleep around 7:30 last night. It's 6:15am right now and she's still sleeping! Holla!

-The weather has been amazing the last few days. We took Maggie & Norman on a walk yesterady. Wish I would've taken a picture because Maggie gave me the best "go to hell" look during the whole walk. Nate Dawg would walk over to her and say something, and she'd smile. Then she'd stare back at me with this look of disgust. The next 18 years will be just awesome, I'm sure. :)

-Nate Dawg starts his new job a week from today. He's leaving for Nashville on Thursday to visit some friends. Sunday he flies into Dallas for training for the first 2 days of his new job. This Thursday when he leaves, I'm heading to Pawhuska for a few days to hang out and work out at the ranch. Lots of stuff going on out there for the next few weeks.

-My brother, Paul & his wife, Laura are coming into town next week for Thanksgiving. Very excited to see them!

-No one will tell me what they want for Christmas, so I haven't ordered any Christmas presents yet. I prefer online shopping over actually going to a store.

-Maggie May by Rod Stewart came on the radio the other day when Mags and I were in the car. Photo op.

-My computer is about to die. At least I blogged, right?

Cutest bedhead.

I swaddled the heck out of her.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

What up, homies?

I've been told I haven't blogged in a while.

Here goes nothin'

1. I'm loving that we get to stay in Oklahoma for a while longer. A few months before Miss Maggie was born, my husband found out that his company here in Tulsa was shutting down. They wanted us to move to Denver. At the time I said, "Sure, let's go." Shortly after Maggie was born, I said, "Hell to the no, I won't go." Not really, but our parents have been such a big help. They are all in love with Mags (of course) and see her at least once a week. Nate and I have gone at once a week by ourselves, which has been fantastic. If we moved to Denver, date nights would end, or we would have to pay a babysitter. Our parents babysit for free. So...Nate Dawg was offered a job with a company here in Tulsa. We are staying! yay!

2. I used to hate when people were like, "I love my kid." Of course you love your kid. Duh.

But I love the crap out of Maggie. Since she was 4 weeks old, she's been sleeping at night. Waking up every 8 hours or so. She's even had a few 10-12 hour nights. Mama like.

3. I'm kind of loving these earthquakes. Not the damage that they're doing to smalltown, Oklahoma, but it's been kinda cool to feel. I was up with Maggie when we had the first one. It scared me, but I thought it was strong wind. The next morning I told Nate Dawg. He said, "What if it was an earthquake?" I got on facebook and sure enough. Then Saturday night we were up and it really, really shook the house. Same thing Sunday night. or Monday night. I can't even remember when the last one was.

4. I'm loving that on Halloween, Maggie gave me a huge smile.

I said, "Boo!" And she gave me this look

ha!

What are you loving this week?

You go, Girl!

One month ago today, I birthed a baby.

It's hard to believe that she's one month old. But the calendar tells me she is. Unless the calendar is a liar.

Happy one month, Maggie!

And thanks for protecting her, Norman!





Fill in the Blank Friday



1. The most selfless thing I've ever done was  have a baby. Nothing is about me anymore. It's all about Maggie.

 

right after labor.

2. When it comes to working out usually really hardcore. I haven't been released from the doctor to workout yet, but I'm hoping to get back into the super sweaty, super driven Morgan I was. I'm guessing that won't happen though.

That is THE Billy Blanks

 

 

3. A woman should always smile. Women who don't smile look like real biotches. :)

 

 

 

4. I wish I could  have a spa day and then I'd feel prettier.

5. A best friend is  Brandi.

me on the left, Brandi on the right.

 

 

 

6. I can't get enough of  Nate Dawg.  I just love him.

 

7. This weekend I am getting a facial!

 

 

go to the little things we do and play along!

 

Newborn Pics

Marie took pics of Maggie when she was 12 days old.

Of course, I think she's totes adorable.

 There are more on Marie's blog. Check them out!

Oh, hey! I had a baby!

Margaret "Maggie" Ann was born September 16 at 8:35 am. She weight 7lbs 4 oz.

I was in labor for 21 hours. No lie.

I won't go in to details, just know that labor is tough, but totally worth it.



I Done Forgot

I done forgot that I won a giveaway! Mama Dew (cool chic) had one a few weeks ago and I won this beaut from Little Laws Prints:



I know what you're thinking. "Morgan, you should have this framed and hung in the nursery. Your boss lady has had you working from home for weeks now. You don't have anything to do...you're still pregnant."

I know, I know. I should have this framed and hung in the nursery, but I don't.  I've had it sitting downstairs to remind me to blog about it. Instead, I've walked past it several times a day and thought, "Aww...how cute!" Then I walk off and forget to blog about it.

EVENTUALLY I will frame it and hang it in the nursery. It's too cute to just leave sitting downstairs. I'm just too lazy to walk up the stairs and put it in the nursery.

If you are looking for any super cute stationery, invitations, party decor, etc. Head over to Little Laws Prints and take a look at all they've got.

Thank you, Mama Dew and thank you Little Laws Prints!
