Week 129/1

 Week 129/1

Welcome Emory Francis McCarston! See pictures for details!

Thank you to grandparents for helping us over the past few weeks! Making meals, fixing things around the house, letting us sleep in, and being great moral support.

Still pregnant Lisa!
We were waiting...
And waiting...
And waiting...
Until finally we went in for an induction!
Lisa geared up, and our midwife decided to break Lisa's water instead of start them on Pitocin, which we were happy about.  
They broke Lisa's water at 8:30 a.m. and Mo was born at 1:02 p.m. on 7/18/2023. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz, exactly like his sister. He was 21.75 inches long.




Noah got to visit us in the hospital! Baby Mo gave her a new book!
Grandma Patti came to visit, too!

Our family!

Noah has been very curious about Mo and likes him to be around.
Katy, Keegan, and Frankie came to the hospital to visit, too!

And Grandma Lori and Grandpa Tom!
And Jerry...
And Todd!


Meanwhile at home, Noah was carrying her baby all around, even to the potty!






Our friend Baby Edie came to visit and meet her new best friend, Mo!
