Update on the SEXTUPLETS!

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Brianna and Ryan are doing great! As her belly (and feet) continue to grow she enjoys every day she has left before going on bedrest and/or being admitted into the hospital. They are hoping she’ll be able to stay at home until 20weeks but it will depend on the level of contractions and her overall health! So far, she’s done outstanding!

I forgot to tell you last week that in their most recent ultrasound they found out that baby “C” is a boy! Legs wide open! But all the rest had theirs crossed…building suspense for the next ultrasound. Personally, I’m hoping for 4 girls and 2 boys. I like even numbers!

Baby “F” is still the tiniest but is also the one that never stops moving :)

AND all the babies are consistantly measuring within the normal range!!! Isn’t that amazing?

Brianna and Ryan are going to her parents home town in Wisconsin this weekend for a city-wide Baby (or in this case: Babies) Shower!

If you’re interested in getting more involved go to www.morrison6.com.

I know I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, these babies are a miracle happening before our eyes…I’m so priviledge to be a part of the process.

Facebook Video - Very Funny!

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

I learned about Facebook through my brother and sister-in-law the last time I was in Canada and have loved it ever since! It’s a networking, finding ol’friends, locating long lost lovers, and/or keeping up with family website!

My sister came across this video and thought of me! I laughed at myself from start to finish! I have poured hours into Facebook and tell everyone I know to join because…I have to have more “friends” then my husband! See you on www.Facebook.com

I know that I’m going to see many small miracles in the course of Brianna’s pregnancy and the birth of these SIX babies. People that don’t even know the Morrisons writing encouraging notes, sending gifts, donating their time and money! Being in the center of organizing means I’m going to see it all and I know I’m going to stand back amazed.

Basic truth: It truely is a blessing to give and be generous but, I get so wrapped up in my own life, sometimes I forget!

One other thing I don’t want to forget…at the end of the day, Brianna is just my pregnant friend :)

I took her out on Friday…just the two of us! We shopped for shoes and enjoyed smoothies while sitting out in sun!

It was sooooo nice! And I highly recommend the Mango Smoothie from Panera!

Here’s to my hero…Brianna! I think the world of this couple and their maturity and courage through this whole process!

Fun Fact #1: Did you know that her heart pumps more then double the blood than the average pregnant woman?

Fun Fact #2: She’s supposed to consume 4000 calories a day!

Fun Fact #3: She just passed her start weight! YEAH! Because she lost so weight in the beginning she was always behind…but she’s finally passed it and hopes to gain 5 pounds a week!

Doesn’t she look GREAT! We are all delighting in their miracles!

Sextuplets M-Team

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

I’ve known Brianna since her first year at Bethany College of Missions and when she got pregnant with 6 babies I knew I wanted to help! I didn’t know that helping would mean heading up the commitee (called M-team) for the Morrisons, but there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing!

Here’s how you can get involved:

Step ONE - anyone (and I mean ANYONE) who’s interested in helping the Morrisons will go to their website (www.morrison6.com) and fill out the inquiry on the “How to Help” page! Be as specific as you can about the areas you’d like to serve.

Step TWO - I (Noemi) will receive the email and redirect you to the person leading/organizing that area! (eg. fundraising, childcare, corporate sponsorships etc.) We want to be sure that we are utilizing our resources as effectively as possible!

Step THREE - You receive an email or phone call to discuss how (specifically) you can help! 

We’re excited to bless the Morrisons!

YEAH! Let the planning begin!

We have an incredible group of young ministers at our church an I’m blessed by all the ways they serve our congreagation and my family! More than that…they are fun to be around AND passionate about serving our community!

It’s not the easiest to capture guys, especially when they’re uncomfortable with getting their picture taken, but we had fun anyway! Here’s a couple of shots from our freezing photoshoot yesterday morning…
