Had to Happen

Well folks, you can google search our baby now and he appears. No thanks. Looks like we're going private. (I know I don't post a lot but I will try harder I promise!) You know the drill. Leave me your email if you want to keep reading about us and our SUPER EXCITING lives :) If you don't want to leave your email in a comment, email me at morganjeanpeterson (at) gmail (dot) com and I will add you!!!

Lately

So I guess it really does happen... you have a baby and your blog is then dominated by them! (sorry) Jackson is 7 weeks old!! What? How did that happen? Here are some pictures from the last few weeks. For those of you who have been asking, I'm sorry it has taken so long to post new ones. I have been busy-I decided this week to implement "Babywise" into our lives and I have a hard time listening to the little mister cry it out at nap time... I just sit there and close my eyes waiting for it to stop. It kills me! Especially since it's my fault for rocking him to sleep since he was born. I'm going to try not to feel too guilty though because I loved every minute of doing that. Anyway, the next few weeks are going to be rough I'm sure, but he's still so much fun.

5 1/2 weeks. Playing with Grandpa.

Family reunion for my dad's side. This WAS Jackson's Halloween costume but over the next week he grew out of it and I didn't buy him a new one. I'm considering these his Halloween pictures.


First time to church for Jackson at 6 weeks. Napping with Dad. Watching football with Dad on Sunday morning.




"Nana's Halloween Party" Jackson is "too cool" to dress up for Halloween apparently. Such a mean mom not buying him a new costume. Oh well. I can't keep up. My child is already out of 0-3 month clothes and he's only 7 weeks! Next year we'll really amp it up. The "donut-on-a-string" game was hilarious as I'm sure you can imagine. Such a fun tradition :)

Other "lately" items: Stuart studies like a maniac and we are loving being close to family with our new addition. We can't wait for Thanksgiving so that Jackson can meet his other 3 aunts :)

Jackson's Newborns

I had this nice girl do J's newborn pictures when he was 10 days old and they turned out really cute. I just got them back from her so I wanted to post a few. My ABSOLUTE favorites aren't on here because I want to send them out as his baby announcement but all of them are so darling. Thanks Amanda!!

Back in Time

Before J came and took over our lives, I had some really great baby showers. The one in San Diego was thrown by my friend, Kassidi, and the one here in Mesa was thrown by my sister-in-law, Sarah. Before I completely forget I wanted to post the pictures.

I miss our San Diego friends so much!

Both of the showers had mini cupcakes... I loved it!

Both of the showers were so cute. Thank you so much!

Our Baby is 2 Weeks Old!

Here are some pictures of the last 2 weeks... Be warned that I am learning how to use my camera still, so the image quality is not always the best.

I just love his chubby cheeks!

He had his 2 week appt today and he has already grown an inch. The phrase "they grow up so fast" really does apply and I don't want it to!

5 Days Old

10 Days Old

11 Days Old

This is how he sleeps (I put him in pajamas do not worry. This was just too cute.). He refuses to be swaddled.

2 Weeks Old

Jackson Scott Peterson

Born: Sunday, September 12, 2010, 3:17pm, 9lbs 13oz 22in
*Short & Sweet Details: My water broke at 3am on Sunday morning... we went to the hospital... and he came 12 hours later :)

3 days old

He was born on the first Sunday of football season (which apparently means something) and the entire time I was in labor we had pre-game shows and football games and half-time shows to watch. I pretty much slept through all of my labor though, thanks to the epidural, so I don't really remember all of that. Just evidence of the games on my camera that I just looked at today! I have no idea what I am doing and nothing I've done in my life could have possibly prepared me for this I don't think. But we just love him to pieces!

Update

There are no pictures. Sorry, but that's just not happening right now. Here is an update on us.

I am 38 weeks, 3 days pregnant. Not sleeping. My body is not progressing and our little boy wants nothing to do with dropping down. He remains in my ribs and seems to be as happy as a clam. He gets bigger everyday, has NO room to move around and is constantly trying to stretch. Poor kid! I keep telling him that he will be much more comfortable out in the open-that seems to be doing no good.

Stuart is in his 2nd year of Law School at ASU, recently got an iPad-the word "love" does not begin to cover his feelings for it, tries very hard to make me comfortable, and cannot wait to hold this baby boy. It's really cute.

Due date=19th. I have a feeling we're going to get all the way there people.
