October 11, 2010

I went in for an induction at 6:00am on October 11, 2010. They started my pitocin first thing that morning - and from there it was kind of a waiting game....
Here's me waiting....
and Corey and I waiting...
All day long she refused to drop down... so we seriously just waited and waited - and waited... it was a really boring day! :) HAHA! Finally somewhere around 3:30pm - I said I felt some pressure - and sure enough when she checked me I was ready to push! We waited until the doctor got there - about 4:00pm - and then 3 pushes later at 4:10pm she was here!!!
Millicent Katherine Garner

First bath - doesn't she look happy?!? haha!
Here's Harrison getting to meet her for the first time
and giving her the doll he brought her - how sweet!
and his first kiss for her....
and another...
First family photo of the 4 of us...
so crazy to think we're a family of 4 now!!!
The delivery room was a mad house - well not during the actual delivery - Corey was the only one in there for that... but as soon as they said people could come in we had somewhere around 10 or 11 family members in there - plus nurses... CRAZY - but fun! :)
the proud grandmas
the proud grandpas
the proud aunt - uncle - and future aunt
Here she is up close!!
Cute huh?!?
Dad and his snuggle bug
This is Harrison's visit the second day...
still super excited to see his baby sister!
Trying to get a picture of the 2 of them is almost impossible... oh well!
I thought this one looked like they were checking each other out - pretty funny!
Dad... waiting for the nurse to get all the paper work done so we can go home!!!
Millie and I right before we head home :)
Ok... time to go!!

Pictures of the belly....

A couple of weeks ago I asked Corey to take a couple of pictures of me and my big belly... I never got any "maternity" pictures with Harrison - and I'm kinda sad... oh well - nothing I can do now! Anyway - clearly these aren't professional - but for those of you that have asked for some belly pictures - here they are!
This is one of my favorites - because you can't tell just how BIG I am!! :) haha!


I love these... HDG is going to be such a great big brother!! :)



awww - my heart just melts!! :)

New videos of HDG


This video is HDG saying the pledge.... please notice that at the end he says "with liberty and justice frogs"!! He use to say "for frogs" but he dropped the "for" - it was funnier before... but oh well!! :) haha!


This is Harrison singing the 12 months of the year... however - he's still learning - so right now I only hear 10 months in the year.... haha! :)

HDGs Birthday Fun!

I'm nothing if I'm not slow... Harrison's birthday was AUGUST 15th.... I can't BELIEVE my baby is 3!!!
On his birthday - we let him choose what he wanted to do... and he decided he wanted to go to the park... or as he calls it the "park and slide"!!
Quick family picture - after church - before the park!
Harrison and Dad on the slide
me and HDG - I love the way I used him to hide my big belly! haha!
Harrison and I holding up 3 sticks - to show how old he is!
Sliding....
more sliding....
and MORE sliding...
and Dad sliding :)
So when we asked Harrison what he wanted for his birthday dinner... his answer was "steak and potatoes"... he's only 3.... I think I'm in trouble!! haha!! :)

Then for dessert I tested out some ice cream cone cupcakes - they were so cute - and HDG loved them so much that I made them for him to share with his class at school the next day!! :)



And of course to finish off the day... there was bath time....

MAN - HE'S CUTE!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
