Morgan's Room

Morgan is now ten days old and is making herself right at home. Before she was born, I hadn't emptied the little room next to Bryce and Justine's room for them. Later on, that will be Morgan's room. But for now, it's Bryce's room for his tv, video games and all his "stuff". He is like the rest of us in this business, addicted to antiques.Bryce, actually started painting Morgan's part of their master bedroom while Justine was in the hospital. He's still in the process of decorating & finishing it up, but I love how he's mixed in all the vintage stuff, including the old medical cabinet, with the new baby stuff.Bryce displayed some vintage stuff mixed in with Morgan's "new" stuff as well. The antique christening gown was a gift from Norm and Jeannie, who are dealers at Country Roads. Can't wait until Morgan is big enough for a photo in it. There are a couple of Repasy florals hanging on the wall. And Christie, being the sweet person she is, decided to add a little "something" including Morgan's name to one of her prints. I can't wait to see the painting when she gives it to them.!\Bryce bought this vintage childs swing not too long after Justine found out she was pregnant. I knew he would figure out something to do with it. And, as Justine told me the other day she really doesn't mind Bryce decorating the room because he is "good at it", which he really is. I guess growing up in this business influenced him just a bit!
And little Morgan, I have a feeling will follow in our family footsteps! Junkin, decorating and collecting is something that is just in our family blood. And I'm sure in a few years, Bryce will be taking not only Morgan, but Riley as well, when he goes junkin. After all Brande would take him when he was only about ten years old with her to Vet's Flea Market. Bryce would ask "how much is this". And then when he would hear the price, he would reply, "I only have this much money", and yes, Bryce would usually get what he wanted! He will teach Morgan and Riley well!

Just A Few More Pix's Before We Call It a Day!

It's been a long 24 hours, but I just had to add a "few" more pix's of Morgan at 12 hours old, as seen here with the new Mommy & Daddy!

"me & my new baby girl"

"trying to wake up for Gramma"

"12 hours old and ready to face the world"

"it's hard for Gramma to say good night to my new baby girl"

My New Little "Morgan Clover Jackson"

A little before 7am this morning, little Morgan entered the world weighing 6lbs 12oz and 19 inches long. We took these pictures right after she was born, so she really is brand new here. She has blonde eyebrows, blonde eyelashes, and right now light brown hair, may be curly!

Morgan looks a lot like her daddy, my son Bryce. There is just something so special about a brand new baby just minutes old!

You have to know that this is a magical moment for me. The first time holding my brand new baby girl, wow. I couldn't wait to hold her and it was hard for me to share with others!!

Katie was just as anxious as I was to hold Morgan. We can't wait for Riley to meet her and hold her. That is one picture I'm looking forward to. You'll have to beare with me the next few days as I share my new baby girl. I'm excited to share her pictures after she's been cleaned up and we can see her curly hair. You know, as tired as I am right now, I never, ever forget how grateful I am for the life I have! And on a side note, when I walked into the room to meet my new granddaughter the nurse looks at me and says, "I know you", yep, she shops at Country Roads!!

The Clocks Are Ticking

All the clocks are ticking as it gets within minutes, to hours, to a few days before my new little granddaughter, Morgan, will join my family. It seems like it was only yesterday when Justine told me that she was pregnant. And now, here we are on "baby watch". It brings back memories of Riley's birth, those moments and seconds I will never forget. I am so grateful for Riley, and then to be blessed again with another grandbaby is more than I could ever ask for. As the clocks tick away, keep checking back to meet my brand new granddaughter, Morgan Clover Jackson!
