    Introducing…!!!!

    Elliott Brian Moberg
    Born on March 20, 2011 at 5:25 pm 
    The First Day of Spring
    8lbs, 8 oz
    21 1/4 inches long
    *perfection*

    There is soooo much to say and write about, but we wanted to post just a few pictures right away for those of you who are far, far away.

    I am hoping to write about and post his birthing story very soon, but for those of you who haven’t heard any details, at the very last minute it became necessary to deliver Elliott with an Emergency C-Section. Which, to say the least, was a very difficult word to hear when everything had been right on track and going smoothly all day. Like I said, the story will come later, but for now, all that matters is that we have our baby!!! So here are a few pictures of our beautiful, precious, healthy baby boy!!!!

    Right after Elliott was delivered:

    Just minutes old!

    Me, finally getting to hold my baby for the first time

    First family photo…Um, I’m exhausted 🙂

    My parents and Brian’s family waited all day in the hospital, bless their hearts. By the time I got to see Elliott after surgery, feed him for the first time and take a minute to breathe, it was already 8pm. But we were able to get all of our family in to meet him before visiting hours were over!

    We were all utterly exhausted by the end of the day…it has been a crazy, long, hard, emotional week.

    Here is a picture from today, after we’ve all had either sponge baths or showers :). A tiny bit more rested, and a lot more in love with our baby boy.

    The Moberg 3!

    It is standard to stay in the hospital 2 nights when you’ve had a C-Section. I seem to be recovering well so if all goes according to plan, we will get to be discharged tomorrow. It’s been great to be in the hospital (thank God for drugs!!!!) but we are so excited to go  home with our baby Elliott!!!

    Thank you to everyone who was praying for us! We praise God for our healthy baby boy!!!

    Taylor drove us to find our tree! She did a great job, too!!

    The Winner!

    The finished product! You can tell where Brian stopped putting the lights on the tree and where I started (as soon as I could reach). Apparently I have a light fetish…we only blew a circuit once :).

    faithful friends stood beside us as we said “I do”
    our families surrounded us with love
    the ceremony took place outside in a garden, overlooking the beautiful water
    we had a light appetizer & cupcake reception for all of our guests
    and then we headed off to an evening of dinner and dancing with a smaller group of friends
    a super fun welcome at the Hotel Murano
    we ate, drank, and were married (ha!) 
    our first dance
    cake time!

  • Welcome to 2010…Blog Beginnings

    Welcome to 2010…Blog Beginnings

    I have had it in the back of my mind to start a blog for a LONG time. But there’s nothing like finding out you have a little peanut on the way, knowing that most of your family and lots of your friends live far, far away, to expedite the blogging process. So we’ve started this blog both for us and for you…it will be a fun way to document life and also to share it with those of you who we don’t get to walk alongside daily, but wish we could. We want our little sugar pea to grow up knowing his/her grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, second cousins, great aunts & uncles and the dear friends of ours who live in other states. And we want all of you to watch Baby Moby grow up! So here is our attempt at connecting our lives a bit more…


    I will try and update my pregnancy “bump” progression as often as I remember…I’ve been terrible at this so far, only remembering every 2 weeks! It doesn’t help that I hardly ever get out of my pajamas these days :). 


    For those of you that have asked and/or are praying for me 🙂 I want to let you know that my nausea/vomiting has definitely gotten BETTER, but I am for sure not out of the clear. The good news is that I can usually get things under control and be up and moving about most of the day/evening. This is HUGE, and I am SO THANKFUL for this return of life… The bad news is, I’m still throwing up once or twice in the middle of the night/early morning. And still no one has ever heard of this anomaly. Leave it to me to discover a “new” way to have morning sickness… And, there have been a few nights where my dinner just doesn’t stay down, and then it can tend to be a LONG evening/night…


    However, in the grand scheme of things, I am SO THANKFUL for the health that has returned to me in the last week or so. I can actually function now during the days and I’m beginning to feel somewhat like a human being again. I still can’t stand the sight/thought/taste of most normal foods. This is the biggest bummer of them all. I miss food tremendously. Everything that I used to LOVE I now hate…Coffee, strawberry shortcake, chicken, every single dinner there is (other than taco salad), fish, brownies, pizza… Oh, it’s all just so incredibly nauseating… I miss it like crazy :(. 


    Well, welcome to the Moberg Musings. Oh, and a little disclaimer. Those of you, again, that know me well, know that I often mix up my words. You know, “Play it by year,” “the glove deparment,” etc., etc. Normally, people tend to overlook these “mistakes” because when I say a “wrong” word, your human ear automatically corrects it to the right word. Which is why it took about 23 years for my brother to realize and inform me that it’s NOT “play it by year.” Well, when you WRITE, it’s another story. It’s very clear when I “mess up.” So, I just want to say, “Don’t judge me.” 🙂 Brian thinks I’m cute, and that’s all I care about.

    We hope you enjoy yourself here and get a greater glimpse into our world… 🙂


    We love you! Brian & Susanne
