and the most adorable thing ever

(yes his mommy is bias)

We started our day bright and early being at the hospital at 6:00a.m. We got to L&D and they got us all checked in and but in alittle room. They gave us a bunch of paper work to feel out while they started my IV's and monitors. Once we got the paper work done we just sat and watched tv. My mom got there around 8:30 and they let her come back to say Hi an wish us luck. The nurse came in and told us the doctor was running late. I was already so antsy I just wanted it to be over with so I could have my sweet boy here. But we waited and waited for what seemed like forever, when really it was only 2 hours. They walked me back into the OR and had me sit on the bed. They then had me bend over so they could place my epidural, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I then got to lay back and just relax. I was soon numb and couldn't really feel anything and they started the surgery. I was so excited and couldn't stop smiling. From where JJ was at he thought I was crying and started asking me if I was in pain and I said no that I was fine but so excited. I noticed his eyes were filled with tears which then made me start crying. Then my heart sank because the doctor goes, "Is the cord wrapped around his neck?" I guess my blood pressure shot up because the machine started beeping and the doctor looked at me and said,"He's ok, its common for the cord to be around their neck once." I relaxed and within seconds heard my little boy start to cry. They lifted him over the curtain so we could see him and we were both are eyes were glued on him. They rushed him off to clean him and get his stats. Soon JJ brought him back in and sat by me so I could see our cute little boy, while they finished sewing me up. I was then taken into recovery and they took Kyler in to be bathed and warm up a little more. They brought him into me while in recovery and I got to hold him for the first time. My mom, grandma, and aunt got to come back and see us. I was finally stable enough to go to a room, when we got there we were welcomed by my whole family, JJ's mom and two sisters. They all took turns holding him, and then gave us sometime with him. My parents came and went all through out the day, that afternoon we were visited by my Uncle Lamonte, Grandma A. Aunt Michelle, and my friend Donna. We then got to take a little nap before the next crowd of people came. JJ's dad and sister, my Uncle Steve, and my friend Ashlee. We were so grateful to everyone who came and saw us and welcomed our sweet boy! We then spent the rest of the night sleeping and loving on our beautiful sweet boy! 

ChAnGe Of PlAnS

So we go to the doctor yesterday, and everything is going as normal. She checks me, and don't ask me how, but last week I was dilated almost to a 2 and this week I wasn't at all. I have also been really curious about dilating and if family history has anything to do with it. I asked her about it and she said she has seen cases where the mom only had 1 C-section but then all her daughters had to have C-sections but there were also those whose daughters didn't have to. With my mom and I think all her sisters they didn't ever dilate past a one, and had to have C-sections with all their pregnancies. She also works in the same office as the doctor that my mom and my aunt went to, so he came in and talk with us too. They said with the risk of being induced were actually more dangerous for me than the C-section and the other doctor said he would bet I'd end up having a C-section anyways with how big his head is. So we decided to go with that. Its not the most exciting news, but its not the worst either. I kinda knew this news was coming, so I'm ok with it. We are planned to have him next friday the 16th at 9:00a.m. And I'm not complaining either were he's coming a week early YAY!!

So here is my picture for 37/38weeks. I'm going to try and get one more it'll just depend on how I'm feeling and if I have time. Don't ask me why I'm making the face I am!

When we put the top of our wedding cake in the freezer (to be enjoyed on our first anniversary) we had a vague idea of what married life would be like. We had no idea on what this year would bring us, but can truly say we are happy for what it has. We have learned to lean on each other through the more difficult times, and that we don't always have to be right. To us we haven't had to difficult of a year, of course there are times when we feel like it has been but looking at the whole picture we have really realized how blessed we have been. We have always heard the first year is the hardest, of course we don't know how the rest will go, but we think we will probably have harder times. Looking back to our wedding day we see how we have grown even more in love, and how we have came even more as one than two. On that day neither of us thought we would be expecting a baby a year later, we were thinking more of starting to "try" at this time. Things don't always go the way you plan though. So here in a few short weeks we will begin a new fun adventure. One we think will even make us happier and make us realize, even more so, how blessed we are to have each other. We couldn't be more thankful for the Temple, and for having the blessings it gives us. Because of it we will be together for all Eternity with our family. So a year ago when we put that cake in the freezer we had no idea! But now that all of it is gone with only crumbs left we have a little better idea of how things will be.

WhAt An ExCiTiNg WeEk

So we have has quite the week!! I had a doctors appointment Monday and all looks well, still dilate to a one. I go back again Monday, I start going weekly now. So then Tuesday I had a dentist appointment and found out I need a root-canal Great!! So Tuesday night comes and we get ready for bed, I was asleep for about 2 hours and woke up in horrible pain. My back and upper abdomen killed. I knew it wasn't contractions because it wasn't tightening and loosening at all. I was up for about two hours when I realized I hadn't felt the baby move, that's when I started to panic. I called the hospital and they told me to come in just to be safe. so my dear husband and 3 o'clock in the morning drove me to Ogden. The pain was still bad on the way there, J.J. made me take some Tylenol before we left. When we got there they set me up on a test thing to hear the babies heartbeat and see if I was having contractions. Sure enough baby was fine and I wasn't contracting. And soon after we got there the pain went away. I felt so dumb!! But the nurses were way nice and said its better to be safe than sorry. So that was one of the big things this week.

So J.J. had an interview last week with SOS for Autoliv. He had orientation on Tuesday, after which they told him he would have to call daily to see if they had positions open. So he's called the past few days and no such luck. Well today he got a call back and he starts Monday at the one here in Tremonton working Graves. I'm not thrilled about the graveyard part but I am very happy he has a different job. We've been waiting a year for it!! It is temp-to-hire so nothing is for sure yet but we are still thrilled about it.

Also we are in the 36 week of the pregnancy!! Almost full term and really wanting baby to come!

We are just waiting for his bottles to get here and then we will have everything we need for him. Here are the pictures for the week.

BaBy EvIcTiOn NoTiCe

To: Mr. Kyler Harris

To the above tenant in possession of below described premises:

I am issuing a 30 day notice of EVICTION. You will have 30 days in which you can either gather your belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed for the property.

You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made!

Remodeling and gutting of the home were never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.

After 30 days from this day that you don't comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Love,
Mommy

So my awesome sister-in-laws through me a baby shower this past friday. It was alot of fun!! I'm so thankful to them for throwing me one and doing everything for it. I got so many things we need and even things we hadn't even thought of. We had such a good turn out and I'm so grateful for everyone who came and even the ones that couldn't make it that have brought things over. I can't believe how much we got. There was a definite theme with it all, alot of what we got had frogs on it. Which will go perfectly with all his other stuff. Below are pictures from the shower and the results from it.

Playing the matching game. The clues were really cute! Example: Daddy at conception went with Big Hunk or Delivery Doctor went with Butterfingers.

Opening Presents!! Mind you I didn't know when the pictures were taken so my face looks weird in them all.
