Prayer Request!

Left to Right: Morgan's mom Barbara, JL, MMM, Morgan's daddy Jimmy, and Morgan



Jimmy Mardis, Morgan's daddy has been complaining of chest pain for the past several days and after a diagnostic heart cath yesterday we were told that he had major blockage in several of the vessels of the heart. A good report is that he does not have any heart damage. This will or should be a good factor in recovering from the surgery. He is going to have heart bypass surgery on Friday morning. Morgan and his family are scared and nervous as any family would be. We are asking that you would pray for the doctors and family that this surgery would be a success and that all would go well. Please also pray for peace of mind. It is really hard to see your husband upset and scared to death about his fathers health. Thanks so much for all that you have done already. The power of prayer is truly amazing!! We will keep you posted as things happen. Take care!

Love you all-

Jennye Lynne

PS.....I just have to add this note!!!! GO DAWGS!!!!!!

Splish Splash!!!

Hello-

I know you are all thinking, WOW 2 post in one week!! I know, I know I told you all I was going to try and post more often. Mary Morgan's Umbilical cord finally fell off and we were off to the bath....I was excited and I think that I enjoyed it much more than she did. She was not sure at first and I swear that she did not start crying until we washed her hair. As you can see that she was fine after the bath in her swing. Hope you all are having a good week.

Love-

Jennye Lynne, Morgan, and Mary Morgan

Waking Up!!!

Me and daddy!

Do these make me look fat?
The best picture mommy has taken!!!
Looking at what?????

Hello-

I know that it has been a long time and I apologize about that. I can say that it is getting easier and I think that I am getting the hang of it. Yesterday we went and met Crosby and Walker for a meeting of the babies. We had a great time and I will have a picture from that soon as I forgot my camera, but never fear Leslie and Courtney have got the Mommy thing down pat and they were prepared. They were sooo cute. They all slept and I will put the pictures up soon. Mary Morgan and I went out 3 times this last week and it was fun. She is staying awake more and it is getting fun. I am not sure that I even reported how the pediatrician's visit went. She now weighs 7lb 8 oz. This was a great report as she had lost down to 6lb 8oz when we were not nursing. So the nursing is doing great and we are doing well with it. Thanks to all for the support and words of wisdom. She has grown 1 inch in 2 weeks. Her doctor said that she could be a tall girl. Taylor Parker you might meet your match soon. OK so you are wondering why I called this post waking up? She has been staying awake a great deal during the day and she just wants to look around. You can see her eyes in these pictures!!! I have got to get her a mobile, I did not know if I wanted one at first but she just searches for something to look at! Well enough from me I know that you really just want to see the pictures of her!!!! Take care and have great week!

My Parents are Crazy!!!!

Is this fair I can not even tell them to stop!
More fun with my hair!!!!
My Daddy just can not get enough of me !!!!
Just wanted you to see my funny onsie!!!

Hey you guys!

I really do not have anything fun to report to you. I will tell you that we are enjoying Mary Morgan more than I could have ever imagined. When you fall in love with your child it is like a love that you never knew existed. I have put some pictures on for you all to enjoy. Tomorrow we go to the doctor for our 2 week check up. We will let you know about her weight status when we get back. Hopefully we will be on the gaining side.

Prayers Have Been Answered!!!!

Well I am happy to report that yesterday we went back to the newborn clinic at Baptist and we have gained another 1/2 ounce!!! This was going to be a big tell tell sign because I have been breastfeeding only. That is also going much better. Leslie said that I would get it just when I thought that I could not do this anymore. Her Jaundice is better and we no longer have to have the Billi Blanket. Thanks sooo much for your prayers and words of encouragement.

Seems like yesterday and today she is wanting to stay awake a little more which is fun. We have loved holding her and we catch ourselves staring at her all the time.

Morgan and I also have been talking about how she is over a week old and it seems like they just put her in our arms for the first time about 5 minutes ago. I mean I have always heard people tell me that your children grow up sooo fast. I see this in looking at friends blog spots. I mean I remember when we each announced that we were going to have a baby! I am not wanting to take my eyes off of her as I do not want to miss a minute of her life.

Thanks again for all the prayers and support I am not sure that we would have gotten breastfeeding without your words of encouragement and prayers. So again we say thanks.

Talk to you all soon!!!

Jennye Lynne, Morgan, and Mary Morgan

Sorry it has been soooo long....

I am one week old!!!

Gizmo is still trying to figure her out

Love my hands!!!

You all know that I love those feet!!!!!

Hello all-
We are sorry that it has been so long since we last posted but lets just say things are a little crazy!!!!
Mary Morgan is Jaundice and we have been having to use a Billi Blanket...This restricts us to one area of the house as it has to be plugged into the wall. What a pain let me tell you!!! We have to go back to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully we can get rid of it!!! Please pray that we will be able to and that Nursing gets easier. I mean breastfeeding is probably one of the hardest things that I have ever done. We are getting the hang of it and right now that she has just started latching on it seems like I am feeding her every 45 minutes or so. If any of you experienced this please let me know or are we just having a hard time. Yesterday she was a week old and WOW it seems like we just got her. I mean you know how they say they grow up right before your eyes and how fast it goes....I mean I want her to stay little forever. Thanks again for all the calls, emails, and prayers. You are all the best. I have attached some pics.
Hope to update more often....
Love you all---- Jennye Lynne, Morgan, and Mary Morgan

We are home and adjusting!!!!!

Hello All-

First we would like to say thanks to all who stopped by, called, sent flowers, and said prayers. All of our friends and family made this an experience that we will never forget and we look forward to sharing our changing lives with you all. Again Morgan and I want to say THANK YOU!!!

We got home about 11:30 Am yesterday and all seems to be going well. She looked beautiful when she came home in that white gown. I just can't seem to get it in my mind that she is ours and how blessed we are to have been given this gift for The Lord. What a blessing. I have attached some pics for you all to enjoy. We will be trying to post as often as we can. Thanks again for all that you all did in making this a wonderful experience.

Love you all-

Morgan, Jennye Lynne, and Mary Morgan Mardis

ON OUR WAY !!!!!!

Well it is Sunday afternoon and we are preparing for our journey to parenthood. We have to be at the hospital at 5pm this afternoon. We are going to be at Baptist. Tonight we are to get Cervadil and then we will be induced first thing in the morning. I have to say that I am nervous and a little on edge....I think that I am just afraid of the unknown....I hope that you all have a great week. Hopefully if all goes well we will get some pictures to Crissie and she can post them for us. Please feel free to call or send us a text message. We would love to hear from you all. Please pray for us and a safe delivery. Take care and thanks to you all who helped us in preparing for Mary Morgan's arrival....
