Dear Karson

In some ways I can hardly believe its been two years. In other ways I can't remember life without you. Two years ago was one of the happiest days of my life. I remember sitting in the temple thinking I was the luckiest girl in the world. From the first moment I met you I knew I was going to marry you. I have never been more happier in my life. You are such an amazing strong person. Thank you so much for loving me. Thank you for pushing me to be a better person everyday. It has been incredible watching you with our little boy. You are such an amazing dad and I am so happy that Madden and I have you in our lives. I will never forget the look on your face when you got to hold him for the first time. I was incredibly jealous of you but its a moment I wouldn't change. I love you Karson, more than you will ever know. Thank you for the best two years of my life.

Picture Perfect

We had Maddens pictures taken last week. I thought that he would be an awesome little newborn and sleep the whole time but that was not that case. He thought he was 6 months old not 6 days old! They still turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. Here are just a few of them. Isn't he the cutest thing you ever seen!

Maddens Birth Story

My due date came and went. My Doctor is very sweet and told me that he wouldn't let me go over 40 weeks so we scheduled a day to be induced. I went in Sunday night to start the Cervadil and than they would start the pit in the morning. Karson stayed the night but didn't get much sleep because he was on call and was up working most of the night. Monday morning came and they started the pit at 7am. I was feeling pretty excited thinking that my baby would make his way into the world by 3 at the latest. Boy was I wrong! I was having contractions but they were not very consistent and I was having hardly any pain. By about 4pm I was only dilated to a 3. A stinking 3! My Doctor came in and sent everyone away for an hour in hopes that I could get some rest and start progressing. While I was trying to rest my contractions were getting stronger and were starting to hurt a little. I told Karson I was in a little bit more pain and he was thinking it was in my head because I wanted it to happen so bad but the monitor doesn't lie! The contractions were starting to become consistent and stronger. Well about 7 my Doctor checked me and I was still a 3. By this point my Doctor was suggesting that I go home and come back on Wednesday and try it all again. I did not want to go home so we decided to give it til 9 and if nothing happened I was going home. My nurse came in about 8:30 and checked me again and I was still a 3. You can't tell a pregnant women she is going home still pregnant. I lost it! I had only a half an hour to get past a 3 and it looked like I was most likely going home. My sweet sister Nikki offered to massage my back to help me relax. I guess I was relaxing to much because I thought I peed my pants. Karson went and grabbed the nurse and come to find out I didn't pee but my water broke! Looks like I wouldn't be going home! Since my water broke they decided to give me my epidural right away since I was going to have him somehow that night. I went from a 3 to a 10 in about 3 hours. I pushed for about 25 minutes and my sweet little boy was here. I didn't get to hold him right away because he wasn't breathing very well and than I started to bleed so they sent everyone out. About a half hour later I got to meet my little man. I am so thankful for the love this little guy has brought into our lives. I never knew that I could love so much.

these three will all be in the same grade!

only 3 weeks apart!

Madden George Morgan!

Madden George Morgan is here! He came today 7/20/2010 at 1:08 A.M. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and is 21 inches long. He has long brown hair and chubby little cheeks. We can't get enough of him! Stay tuned for more of this little guy.....

Lexi Grace Harris!

My sister Nikki had her little girl yesterday! Karson and I raced down to St. George Friday after work hoping that she would grace us with her presence a little early and she did! I was able to be in the room and it is such an amazing experience. I was a little afraid to watch it so close to when I am due but I am so glad I did! Thanks Nik and Tipper for letting me be apart of it. We love all three of you!

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH BOY!!!

I had my Nephi shower today! It was a jungle theme and turned out so cute! My very creative mother and sisters in law threw it and it turned out perfect. The little man and I were definitely spoiled. I can't wait to try all the cute little outfits on and wrap him up in the cute blankets! Connie made the bedding and it turned out better than I thought! Soon as I have it set up I will post pictures.

Last weekend we went to the lake with a bunch of friends! We always have a good time at the lake! It was hot and I got fried to death. I don't think I have ever been that sun burnt before in my life... but it was worth it!

After boating we went out to Eagle Mountain and watched the live concert! We convinced Jami and Court to come and I am so glad they did! We had fun listening to Tracy Lawrence but I think we had a better time people watching. You guys better be game for next year!

My dad and mom drove down to Nephi two nights in a row to help us lay our slate in our laundry room. We are so thankful that he could come down and help us out! We are that much closer! Thanks again dad and mom... we owe you big time!

Progress of the Nursery!

The nursery started out looking like this...

and now it looks like this...
We are making progress people!!!
That is beautiful drywall.
We are actually going to be able to hang things up on those walls.
There is going to be more than one outlet in this room.
My baby boy is going to be living in Paradise!
Mind you my house was built in the 1890's... so maybe you could understand my excitement!
WOOT WOOT!
