So after only 34 hours in the hospital, little Morgan Elizabeth Partlow made her entrance into the world. I am so pumped to be an aunt but something even cooler happened today. I got to experience today the joy of seeing the light in my big brother's eyes as he became a first-time dad.
What an amazing thing to grow up with this imaginative little boy who made playing G.I.Joes in the gutters of West Texas or turning our bunk beds into a fort complete with a fireman's pole, such an exciting adventure. Life goes by until one day I find myself standing in his wedding, watching as this boy becomes a man and a husband by marrying his very best friend. Before you know it its 7+ years later and I get to see this same man become a father in front of my very eyes, now with a beautiful daughter of his very own. She is so small but she already has her daddy's spunk and lungs. She put up a fight to come into this world, I think only because Lindsay had kept her so safe and comfortable inside. But she's here now weighing in at 6lbs 6ozs and 18 1/2 inches long. She was born via c-section around 10:45pm on February 21st, 2008. Officially she is 3 weeks early but you wouldn't know to look at her. Great job Lindsay!
Please join me in praising God for this wonderful blessing to the Partlow family and congratulating the happy (and exhausted) new parents. Here's to you big brother and sister. I am so excited for you. Don't forget to call me to baby sit. I have much spoiling to do. I love you guys!
Love, Aunt Heidi (has a nice ring to if I do say so myself)
By the way I am sure they will have lots more pictures of Morgan on their blog as soon as they get a free moment. http://partlows.blogspot.com

What a great blog Heidi! Congrats on being an aunt... Morgan is very lucky! She looks like she's doing great and is a pretty good size for them worrying she wasn't getting enough nourishment. Poor Lindsay for having to go through so many exhausting hours. They will all be in our prayers. Thanks for the update!!! I wish I were home!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful words, Heidi! And a beautiful baby-she looks great! We can't wait to meet her!

Congratulations, Heidi! Also, thank you for the public service announcement regarding Hong Kong "fine" dining. "Hmmm, yes...I'd like the live duck with a side of vomit."
You're going to be the coolest aunt ever! :)
