MORGAN TURNS 5!!!


5 years ago on October 15th, Kevin and I were living in Newport, RI when I went into labor with a soon-to-be red-head!

Of course, at the same time I went into labor also happened to coincide with the ND-USC pep rally which could be viewed on the internet. That was on the 3rd floor. Kevin asked if I could go up to the 3rd floor so he could continue to time my contractions while he watched the pep rally. No problem!

When I was about 4 minutes apart, we left our apartment on Memorial Boulevard in Newport and were ready to head to Newport Hospital. Our neighbors were blocking our car, so after waiting about 5 minutes for them to answer the door!

We arrived at Newport Hospital. Kevin parked the car in the emergency room parking lot. I got out of the car - or at least tried- but he parked so close to the car next to us (and I was so HUGE!!!) I couldn't fit!! He had to get back in and re-park the car!

Oooohhh...just the beginning of our wonderful, amazing, and sometimes exhausting (will she ever stop talking and pause for a breathe?!) memories with our Morgan!

And what an exciting celebration we had on Friday night! Thanks to Uncle Brian (Morgan's "best friend"), Brendan, Caitlin, Auntie Annie, Gamma and Papa for coming over for pizza, cake and ice cream! What a way to start the birthday weekend!
