WOOOOW!

Baby Norris came into the world on May 19th, 2010 at 2:36pm (Pactific) at Providence St. Vincent's hospital in Portland, OR. It was a typical Portland day: Sunny and rainy off and on all day.

She was born 8lbs 9oz and 20.5" long. Her little legs were in breech position so long that they don't want to go "down" and spring back towards her head.

Molly and Baby had no complications or anything interesting that happened during the c-section, except that they had a difficult time pulling her out, and it took several good tugs to free her from the uterus.

She had a nice head of dark brown hair, and her skin was a lovely lavender color.

She got a bath, and did not cry a whole lot, and slept nicely.

We'll have the name to everyone by the end of the evening!

Enjoy the pictures!

Baby and pre-baby pics!

Max May Memorial Garden 2010

In my dad's honor, we got up and went to the farmer's market for fresh fruit and veggies. We bought sweet peas and strawberries (the later being dad's favorite and the first of the season!). We also saw a pumpkin plant for sale and decided to buy it simply based on the name: Big Max. It promises "enormous fruit." Sounds like dad. In addition to that, we bought another pumpkin, 2 tomatoes, a watermelon and cantaloupe. I think we must be turning into farmers at this point.

We got home and started working on the garden, which has now expanded to most of the back yard. A few of these pictures are from the work we did on it last weekend while Ellie and Linze supervised. :) We have really enjoyed the yard this year, especially me, since I won't be able to work in it for a while after this weekend.

Enjoy the photos and make sure to give a big "Woa!" when you are finished! :)

Day????

Ok, so we were trying to be ambitious and write what we did each night, but as I (Molly)become more and more uncomfortable, the less excited I am to try and do all 40 things on our list. I keep sleeping in every chance I get, so I feel like that is just as good as 40 different things. We are going to the symphony tonight (from our list) and have tickets to see an opera next weekend. We are talking about going to see a sports game, but we are running out of time (10 days left!). I know the night before the c-section Josh and I will go out for our last long romantic dinner. I hope to find something with several courses and wine too! I go to the doctor one more time this Friday to see if she has turned, see her measurements, and last minute details for the c-section. I have had quite a hard time coming to terms with the c-section. Every time I read something or hear something it makes me more and more upset. You all know me, it's not like me to be so dependent on other people. Six weeks of dependence???? Pain! Catheters!!! Breast pumps to start milk?????? I'm just trying to stay positive and sane until May 19th...

We scanned these in from some pictures that Cherie sent. One of these days I'll actually unload the pictures off of my cameras. Until then, enjoy Cherie's pictures!

The LATEST Bonk Ultrasounds

Molly told me where they were located. So now they're scanned and ready for you to take a look. I may be a tad bit biased... but these are the cutest ultrasounds I've ever seen. They are the last 3 ones in this album. Enjoy.

Bonk Sonograms

So here are some of the latest bonky ultrasound pics. I'm looking for the absolute latest ones now... I've got a call into Molly to so she can tell me where in the world they are!! The last 5 pics in the album are from March.
