Carmen Jane Cahill-2 Weeks Old

I finally have a moment to make a quick update about Carmen. She was born on September 20, 2017 at 7:52 am. She is now 2 weeks and 1 day old and I cannot believe how quickly these past two weeks have flown by. The time that Derek and I have spent with our new baby girl has been filled with joy, laughter, many tears, unforgettable memories, and much support from family. She's a precious angel and we are so in love with our little Carmen but it has not been easy. Taking care of a newborn has been more of a challenge than I could have ever imagined but it has been the greatest challenge of my life. She is worth every bit of pain and worry that I have experienced since she came into this world. I love her so much and I am so grateful for my family.

Pregnancy Update-36 Weeks

My fiance and I are expecting a baby girl, Carmen Jane Cahill, on September 27, 2017. I am currently 36 weeks and three days pregnant. We had our last appointment on Wednesday, August 30 and it went very well. We had an ultrasound, a non-stress test, and an appointment with the OB-GYN. Overall, baby Carmen is healthy and content. The ultrasound technician tried to get a good look at her face but (as always) she was covering her face with her arms and her feet. Our next appointment is on Tuesday and we will have another ultrasound, non-stress test, and appointment with the OB-GYN to measure her growth and to determine if I need to be induced early.  As far as pregnancy symptoms go, I feel pretty good. I am not sleeping very well but other than that, I don't really have anything to complain about. I just can't wait to meet our little girl in just a few short weeks.

About Myself

Hello readers! I have decided to start this blog to document my life as it is about to change dramatically. First of all, let me introduce myself and tell you a little about who I am. My name is Morgan and I am 23 years old. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Business Management and a Concentration in Human Resource Management. I am currently living in Pennsylvania with my wonderful fiance and best friend, Derek, and we are expecting a baby girl, named Carmen Jane, at the end of September. We are very excited and scared as her due date approaches and we embark on this amazing and overwhelming journey of parenthood. I'm still trying to figure my life out as it not how I imagined it would be. In fact, it is better than I could have ever imagined. I'm going to marry the man of my dreams and have a beautiful baby girl in about a month. I also have my college degree which has been an important goal of mine throughout my life and I hope to get a good job after Carmen is born. Although our life is certainly far from perfect, I wouldn't change it for the world.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about me and my family and I can't wait to continue to update this blog as my family grows and my life continues to change.
