Happy Halloween, From Our Little Pumpkin

Monday, October 31, 2011 9:30 pm

Happy Halloween!  We said there was more to come...and here it is.  A couple of weeks back, Elizabeth and I made a trip to Build-A-Bear with a very special project in mind...to find Morgan a Halloween costume!

We pined over the various offerings and decided on the perfect one for her.  As she continues to do so well, from a medical standpoint, we could think of nothing more fun than to dress her up tonight.  It felt like every nurse in the UAB NICU came to see our precious daughter show off.  We were so proud and now we can share it with you here.

When we first got her in costume, she was a little upset, since this was the first time she had been completely SWALLOWED by a piece of clothing.  There are arm-holes, but her arms are too short to reach too far out and you can tell by her toothpick legs how large the costume was on her...


After a quick tantrum, she quickly calmed down and settled in:


Her mother had picked the best pumpkin in the patch (look at that little leg sticking down...so adorable)!



After the small commotion, Morgan began to look a bit tired...



We appeased her by giving her the beloved pacifier that is a constant in her incubator...



And after all of the tricks had been played, her daddy received the biggest treat of the day!




We hope that you all have had as much fun looking at these pictures as we had spending these special moments with our daughter.  Thank you all for continuing to pray for Morgan and her sweet team of loving caretakers at UAB.  As I stated, she is continuing to do so well and we are beyond thankful.  We love these kind of updates and we look forward to many more, just like it, very soon!
