Here comes baby!

Officially in labor - one last picture before heading to the hospital
Before we knew it, 39 weeks and 3 days had gone by.  At 12:10am on Monday August 23, 2010, my water broke and labor began.  After 18 hours of labor, we went to c-section.  Our baby boy was born on 8/23/2010 at 5:20pm.  He weighed 9lb 5oz and was 21and 3/4 inches long - a beautiful blond haired, blue-eyed baby!  Not until after he was born and we had the chance to meet him did we decide on his name - Thomas Boylston Moore.  Thomas is a family name on the Gorney side, Dad's dad's name.  It was also appealing to Trey as "Thomas Boylston" was the name of John Adam's son.  Not to mention, Sir Thomas More, etc, etc.




From that moment on, our lives have changed drastically.  Thomas has a sleeper that says "I'm in charge" and at this moment there are no truer words than those.  Trey and I eat, sleep, and breath according to Thomas' schedule!  One thing I have to say (as you've heard a million times from any mom) is that it is totally worth it.

Ready or not...

After 4 grueling years of medical and veterinary school, Trey and I decided there was no time to waste - it was time for a baby!  On December 23, 2009 we finally had a positive pregnancy test!  We were so shocked and excited at our early Christmas present, and couldn't wait to share with the family.  So, on Christmas Eve, 2009 as the families gathered to celebrate Christmas, we let everyone in on the secret.  The months that followed were full of growing (a lot of growing!) and rearranging (the house, of course) to make room for a baby boy.

And still at work...


After lots of hard work and time, the nursery finally came together.  Some special items in Thomas' nursery include the bassinet used by both Trey and his mom as babies and crib bumper pads and skirt made by Grandma Gorney.  Check them out in the pictures!
