Long overdue...

So, we have been awful at updating this blog.  Facebook is largely to blame.  Lil' man is almost 2 months old!  It's amazing how much he has grown in such a short time.  Anthony's first Thanksgiving and first Christmas have already come and gone.  Now we are looking forward to New Year's and his first trip to Massachusetts!!!  Can't wait until he meets his Murphy/Neilson relatives and I know Grandma can't wait to cuddle him again.  Here are some newer pics/ videos: (hanging out on his new giraffe play rug, chillin with Mommy wearing his shirt from Mrs. A., Crystal's favorite teacher, unhappy boy clinging to Mama, catching some zzzz's in his swing with the blanket Auntie Ashley made)

And a couple videos--  first, unhappy boy...then, happy boy. :)

 

 

More and more pictures

So in Love

Anthony is so beautiful and we are falling in love with him more everyday!! He is eating more and had a hearing test this morning and everything is looking great!
Last night was a long night full of crying and feeding but it is hard be grumpy when you have such a  sweet face looking up at you!
Heather has been up and walking around the last two days. We expect to be discharged on Saturday!

Anthony Michael Murphy has Arrived!!

Our precious son was born at 3 AM November 3, 2010. He weighed 9lbs 8 oz and measured 20 inches long.

Around 9 PM, we thought that there may be a possibilty that he would be born naturally but this became a little difficult and uncomfortable for both birth mom and baby. When it was found that that little progress had been made for a natural birth, our Doctor decided that the best decision for birth mom and baby was to immediately have a c - section. And then....WA-LA...baby!!!!

To quote a friend.... "And so it begins!!"

We are almost there!! Heather was admitted tonight. She will be started on pitocin in the morning. We are excited, scared, nervous, anxious, and just plain ready to be mommies!!!!

Waiting for Anthony's birthday

We are currently waiting for Anthony's arrival!  He was due on Oct. 25th but has decided he is just too cozy and is in no hurry to come out.  It is looking like he will arrive after being induced on Nov. 2nd. : )
