The Morrison's: The First Month

At my baby shower one of the guests suggested that I take a picture of Conor next to a Teddy Bear every month to watch him grow. Here he is the first week!

The first month flew by so quickly with Conor. As many people already know, Conor came 8 days early. Not ridiculously early, but early enough that I wasn't able to start the school year. If you were to talk to anyone at work, I was coming back.... or so I thought! Conor was born on the 12th, and school started on the 19th, with teachers returning back to work on the 14th. Everyone told me that you are always late with your first child..... not always.

The first week that we brought Conor home, Craig had to go to work. He was getting tenured this year and needed to be there with all the teachers on the first work day. Luckily for Conor and myself, my mom came over during those first few days. But since she and Patti started their day-care business this year (how convenient huh!) she couldn't come over everyday, so Tim and Jess came by too. Craig worked through the first day of school and

then he took 3 weeks off to stay home with Conor and myself. It was nice getting use to the sleepless nights without having to worry about either of us getting up the following morning for work!

For the first few weeks, we didn't have any clothes that fit him! I had lots of 0-3 and 3 month clothes, but needed newborn outfits too. I sent my mom out to buy our first couple of boy outfits for newborns. The only problem was, all of those outfits were too big too! Luckily a friend, Berkley, had kept all of her sons' clothing and loaned us a few premie outfits and even more newborn outfits. He didn't get to wear them for long though!

During the first month we had lots of friends and family stopping by to meet Conor. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of everyone, but below are the ones that I did get. Thank you to everybody for coming by and visiting us!

Krista stopped by to meet Conor.

Tricia was in town visiting her family from the south and she stopped by to visit and see Conor.

Tara was one of our first guests to make it over to see Conor. He looks so tiny there!

Even with their crazy wedding planning lives, Becca and Adam came over one evening to have dinner with us and meet Conor. Thanks you two, your wedding was wonderful! (post to come!)

My fabulous co-worker/ substitute teacher was able to stop by one day after finishing setting up my classroom and teaching students to meet Conor! Amiee had to set up almost my whole classroom because I didn't get a chance to finish before Conor arrived!

Kristi found time in her hectic work schedule to make it down south again to visit with Craig, Conor and myself.

Craig's mom came into town for a little over a week at the beginning of September. She helped out a lot between taking care of Conor in the mornings while I got to shower and making dinners. It was great that she was able to come out and meet her grandson.
