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!

Midnight

So, the induction last week didn't go over too well. After ten hours of contractions, baby decided he wasn't ready to come into this world. So I was sent home. It was a long day and hard to come home without a baby.
But the here is the good news- I am going in again tonight to be induced. I get to go back at midnight. So hopefully sometime in the early hours of the morning, baby Harrison will come into our lives!

Wednesday!!!

I went to the doctor today and had a great appointment! Why? Because he said that he can induce me next week! So on Wednesday, it's off to the hospital I go to have a little baby boy! I am so excited. I just can't wait. The fun part will be that it's also Brian's birthday! So he will be getting the best birthday present ever! Wish me luck!

37 WEEKS!

So I am now 37 weeks along in this pregnancy! Yay! It feels good to know that I am so close to meeting this little guy! It's a little scary- everything is going to be so new, but I know that it will be amazing!
Speaking of amazing.... yesterday I had a prenatal massage. It was absolute heaven! If you are pregnant, or when you become pregnant, you must get one! It was the best feeling to lay on my stomach and have all the pressure relieved. I wish I could have one everyday!!

Feeling Huge

I had another doctor's appointment today. I get to go every two weeks now. Baby's estimated weight- 5 pounds 11 ounces! Huge! I think that has to be an underestimate because I feel huge, I look huge and I am just plain HUGE! Sleep is impossible and my feet retain so much water! I can't wait to meet this little boy! 

Setting Up The Nursery

We have begun to get baby's room ready! I am so excited. Today Brian put the crib together, with a little help from me. We haven't got all the bedding on yet. I won't get that until one of my baby showers. But it is still pretty exciting. Tomorrow we are getting the dresser! Then I can put all of baby's clothes away. And boy does he have a ton of clothes! My sister in law, Jacki, gave us all sorts of hand-me-downs! Our boy is going to have a new outfit for every day of the year! 

I will post some pictures when I have the room more put together. 

I am getting so excited for baby to come. I can't believe how close it is getting. Only about 7 more weeks! 

San Diego

Last week we went to sunny San Diego! We had so much fun with Brian's family. It was so hard to come back. Of course, Brian and I took plenty of pictures. It was hard for me to narrow it down, so here are a few....

Sea World:

I love the penguins! I want one! 

The Sea Lions were so funny! They were very vocal. 

San Diego Zoo:
Brian loves gorillas. He got some good video. 

On the bus tour

The pandas were so playful! Another animal I would like to add to my menagerie! 

All the Koala's were curled up and sleeping- I want to hold one so bad! 

Who doesn't love a meerkat? They were great at posing for the camera. 

We also went to this old mission. It was pretty cool: 

I loved the garden!
