The Past 9 Weeks

as most of you know, i had a baby boy.

  • Bronson Everett Morrill

  • 9lbs 8oz
  • 20.5 inches

throughout my whole pregnancy, well when i was actually showing, my OB never once said to me-you’re going to have a big baby-instead he just said little remarks like “so are you planning on having a big baby?” or “you’re measure really big this week” or “how much did you and Jon weigh when born?” etc etc. he kept down playing how big this boy really was, on purpose i’m sure, so he didn’t scare me. he asked me close to the end of my pregnancy what my biggest fear was, and i told him a C-SECTION/complications DUH! he explained to me that all that mattered was a healthy baby and mommy and giving birth is fairly safe these days and the death rate is very low. so i guess that made me feel better (not really) but i nodded my head and smiled anyways. surely enough, i had a C-section! 


 i had such a great team at the hospital with me-jon, auntie m, leslie (jon’s mom) and all the wonderful labor & delivery nurses and my amazing Dr Dahle. the only person missing was my sister mika who was rooting me on the whole day/night/day on the east coast. After 22 hours of labor, i opted for a C-section and finally this little dude decided to show his face. a full head of hair and already lifting his head and big alert eyes. 


i am beyond excited to be spending the rest of my life with this little dude. you were well worth the pain. pain + cut= amazing baby boy.
