norrah rolled over!!!

Bill was laying with Norrah on Monday and had her on her belly. All the sudden I hear him yell that she rolled over! I went in the bedroom and he put her on her belly and she did it again!!! We video taped it and I've been waiting to put it on here until I got it uploaded so you could see (it's actually what made me want to start the blog to begin with). Anyway, for some reason I can't figure out how to get it on here but as soon as I do I will post it.

outing with mommy and grandma

Grandma came to visit on Thursday and Norrah got to go out for her 1st outing (other than the dr's office). We went for lunch and then to Sears. We had to stop back at home for a quick change since she spit up all over herself while we were eating lunch.... guess I will learn to put a bib on her more often :) The weather was beautiful and was the perfect day for Norrah's 1st day out.

1st bath

Norrah's cord fell off earlier than most so we were able to give her a bath when she was just 1 week. The pictures look like she wasn't happy, but she was just making faces. We were surprised that she didn't seem to mind it at all.

lucky Uncle Kris

Uncle Kris played Norrah's birthday in the Pick3 and won. Go Uncle Kris!!! We're still waiting for Norrah's cut :)

Uncle Kris and Ebony brought her the neatest gifts when they visited... there is a bear that makes "mommy sounds", slippers that rattle when she moves her feet (see pic below - she loves them!) and Aunt Ebony gave her an infant toothbrush and gum massager... it's never to early to start on good teeth habbits!

2nd dr's visit

Over the weekend we noticed Norrah seemed to have a touch of jaundice so we called the dr and were back in her office Monday morning. The dr said that it was a very slight case and that it would run it's course. They did have to prick her heel and draw blood which brought on her 1st tears (which also made me cry along with her). Poor thing ~ we felt so bad for her.

1st dr's visit

On Friday the 17th Norrah had her 1st Dr. appointment. The picture below is when we were getting ready to leave. This was our first time out and I had everything ready to go, then she smiled (see the picture below) and she made this horrible noise and along with it came a horrible smell. So we get her out, change her and run out the door. We get to the dr's office and I realize I forgot her diaper bag ... what a horrible mother!!!

Anyway, she did perfect and didn't need anything out of her bag. Dr Stacey said that she looked great and was doing fine and even gained 1 oz! (which she said was very good)

I bet I never forget her diaper bag again!

visitors

We had so many visitors....

Proud Grandma came to the hospital the 1st day to meet her 1st grandchild. The 2nd day Granny and Aunite Chelle came then helped us on our way home. We also had other friends stop by... Rene, Erin and McKenna, Becky and "Grandpa" Nick.

That Saturday Unlce Kris and Ebony came to visit and on Sunday we had the whole family here... Grandma and Poppa, Granny, Auntie Chelle and Seliena and Kapri. Bill and Nuchelle went and got some Mrs Winners chicken and we chowed!!!!

welcome to the world Norrah Korryn

our Angel is here!

Norrah Korryn was born on Tuesday April 14th, 2009 at 1:23am. She weighed 8lb 13oz and was 21in long.

Bill and I left for the hospital around 8pm Monday evening not knowing for sure that we were even in labor... by the time we got there we were pretty sure this was the real thing. I was really feeling the contractions (they are no joke!!!) and about 11:15 an angel named nurse Vicki came in and gave me the epidural.

Bill was so amazing thru the entire thing. He had downloaded hundreds of songs that he had playing throughout that were really relaxing. And the best part is that Norrah was born to our favorite song... at that point I couldn't hear the music but as soon as she was born Bill told me that our song was playing!
