Two Months Old!!

Harrison is now 2 months old!! I love the little guy so much. I can't believe how much he has changed over the last few weeks. He smiles so much and is starting to coo at me. He makes my little heart melt!

On Sunday we went down to temple square. I absolutely love it there. It is so beautiful and inspiring. I hope to have a garden as beautiful someday!

A few things...

Today is my anniversary! Two years....time sure flies! I have loved every minute with Brian and just love him more and more every day!

I am loving being a mom! Harrison is my pride and joy. He makes me smile constantly. When he smiles, I just light up. I never thought I could love someone so much, so fast. He grows so much everyday.

I have to go back to work next week- yuck. I don't know how I am going to leave my little boy. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Luckily, a good friend will be taking care of him, so I know he is in good hands.

Lately I have loved taking pictures of nature. The earth is so beautiful! I absolutely love flowers and the mountains. I love these pics, I hope you enjoy them to :)

New Diet

My gallbladder attacks are triggered by what I eat, so now I am on a low-fat diet. Until I have my surgery next week I can't have anything that is too fatty. My diet consists of fruits, veggies, breads and limited amounts of chicken. I do love these things, but they aren't enough! I want french fries! I want a steak! I want ice cream!! Low-fat is really hard for a girl who loves fast food! But I am hanging in there- the upside is that I am losing a little weight :) So one more week and then I am grabbing some cookies!

Surgery

Well, I have to have my gallbladder taken out!

The last week I have had these severe attacks of pain in my chest and back. The pain is so awful that I can't do anything. Brian took me to the instacare and I had an ultrasound. The diagnosis: gallstones. I guess that it is really common to develop gallstones during pregnancy. We women sure go through a lot to bring these little babies into the world. So in about 2 weeks, I have to have surgery. I am a little nervous, but glad to know that after it is out I won't have the pain. In the meantime, I am so afraid of having another attack. They say that eating fatty foods triggers the attacks, so I am trying to eat really low fat foods. Knowing I can't have certain foods makes me want them even more! I want ice cream, steak and french fries!

The surgery is pretty simple. It is an outpatient procedure and I will be home in a few hours. It makes me happy to know that I am not going to have to stay overnight.

So that is today's update. Wish it was about something else!

Evening Walk

We have gotten in the habit of taking walks over at the South Ogden Nature Park. We love it over there. Jack runs everywhere- Last week he chased some pheasants. I really like it because I get to be with my little family and it is helping me get back into shape. Here are a few pics-

Here's the boy!

Harrison Scott Rogers

Brian and I are proud to announce the birth of our little boy! On June 23, 2009, after 16 hours of labor, Harrison came into this world at 10:28 pm! He weighed 9 pounds and was 21 inches long. He is such a beautiful little boy. We are enjoying having him here with us and look forward to all the good times in store. We are very grateful that everything went well and that both he and mom are healthy and doing great.
Sorry we don't have any pictures yet. I haven't had time to load them yet! Keep checking back for pics!
