She knew the nursery was for baby Eli (and here is the true announcement!!! We went with Elijah Pierce Vargas... will get into that in a little bit) but when she came to the hospital to meet her brother ... he was baby Morgan... I am pretty sure we went the wrong route in trying to explain the whole baby brother thing...
Well, now that had morphed into "Boy". Eli is not a baby according to Emily. He is a Boy. And she will correct you.
But overall the adjustment has gone quite well for her. Maternity leave for me has been a little rougher... It is quite the adjustment to go from 60 mph to 0 mph and to sit back and enjoy this time. I am one who needs to be busy...needs a project...not that I don't enjoy relaxing but this is slightly different. A crying baby is not as relaxing as one would think...go figure.
But baby Eli is doing great, he decided that he wasn't going to come on his due date and gave me one last Monday at work, but then he didn't want to share his birthday with his Grandpa Bob or cousin Jacob... so he came on his own day July 12th. My water broke a 1:30 in the morning (interesting sensation - not one I would like to relive) so we called up my Uncle Brian and Renee to drop off Emily and off to the hospital we went.
Eli showed up at 11:31 AM and has been my needy baby ever since. He loves me what can I say... I have that affect on men ;)
And then I had my first post margarita that Friday my birthday - yay - me!
So now on to the photos!!!
And so this is Elijah Pierce Vargas. Elijah we just liked - and thought it would sound good as Eli Vargas. Pierce is a family name on my Mother's side (thank you Uncle Robert for doing all that family research and finding this name) and I think it is a good name if he ever he wants to be famous on some level. And yes I will be living through my kids cool names....
I got stuck with a nice 80's name - Megan Marie... My sister got the cool name Eliza Ann... yes mom, I will need therapy for this :)
Your family is beautiful :-)
