Bridger Jon Harris

This is Jon. Here is my first attempt at blogging!

Bridger Jon Harris-It's a boy!!!
We are glad to announce the birth of our son Bridger Jon Harris born 27 Jul 2009. He weighed just slightly under 8 lbs. The nurses said we would just call it 8 lbs since it was 7 lbs 15.6 oz.


He struggled right after birth with breathing and was quickly whisked away for increased care.


After a few hours of showing little improvement, the Doctor & Nurses decided it would be a good idea to get him increased care at the University of Utah Medical Center Newborn Intensive Care(NBICU) Unit. It was hard to see him with all the tubes being attached to him and being flown away. I chased him in the truck and Ashlee spent the night at the Jordan Valley Hospital. Luckily the doctors let her out the next morning because she is doing awesome.
Sorry I look Drunk. It was a long day. Here he is in the NBICU at the U of U hospital. They put a CPAP on him which I don't exactly know what that is, it helped him breathe and by the next day his breathing had improved, his lungs had cleared out a bit, and his CO2 levels had dropped. They told us those are all good things. He is still in NBICU, but is still improving. We have hopes to have him out of the hospital by the end of the week.

How does pregnancy look?

Well, I guess since we moved out her to boony town and don't get to see our friends very often...not that I would want them to see the huge version of me right now... but I guess I should post a picture of my HUGE pregnant self. It's always good to look back on those pictures to remember how GREAT you feel and LOOK those last weeks! I don't want to see that picture again for a LONG LONG time! Haha, Maybe I'll feel differently in 5 days! 5 days baby woohoo!

Our summer Cabin trip!

We went to the cabin a coule weeks ago ( I know I am a couple weeks late on all my posts, ohwell!!!) And soaked it up because we will only be able to go once this summer where we usually go at least a couple times!

Jon and Hunter had a good time fishing and almost caught one :)

We love it there, it's so nice to get away and just relax! Here are some pics of our fun little trip!Hunter stripped down to go swimming in the lake! I was so surprised he did it, last year there was no way he would do that! It was freezing by the way!

THe whole family wanted a picture...Yeah, not a good thing being 8 months pregnant!!!

Hanna, Hunter, Jordynn, Kyler!

All us sisters!

Hunter and Daddy fishing!

Pregnancy update!

Okay we have an induction scheduled for July 27th!!!!! The doctor says if this baby comes anytime now that there will be no problem with the size! Maybe that's why I feel so ready to have this one! So the swelling continues and the ankles are getting better. 18 days Woohoo!

Everything and anything!

We haven't done much since we moved in but I have some pics I want to put on here, just random things but cute pics for memories!

This was at grandma and grandpa Harris' house! They love to do the American Idol karaoke and the kids got quite involved! Hunter would just sing away...not quite anything similar to what was playing but it was pretty funny!

Okay this was a while ago when we went to Thanksgiving point! The tulips were beautiful (that tells you how behind I have been on blogging!) but I wanted t post some pics of the kids! They were having fun together and I think it was one of those joyous occassions before I'm a mother o 3 that we will have out places together! I'm not quite sure how well I'm going to handle going places with 3 kids!!!!ahhhhhh!

Dinosaur museum!

We're getting settled!

Okay our house isn't set up completely yet but everybody's been asking to see pics so here they are! Moving into a house that is quite a bit bigger than our last house has been hard and expensive but fun at the same time! So... we are taking it slow in filling it up!

This is our loft and a huge selling point for me on the house! As soon as I figure out what to do with this space, we might have been here for a year already!

Yay our couches finally got in so it's nice to have a place to sit! We will soon have our shutters, right now we live in a fish bowl...Everybody can see us!

One day we will have barstools I just haven't found ones that I love yet!

So here's our house! Hopefully by the end of the summer I can take some pics of our yard having grass and approximately 3 trees and 4 shrubs...(HOA rules I guess) haha!

A busy month!

Happpy Birthday Hanna!!! I wasn't able to post anything on her birthday and feel so bad about it! She is now 3 and growing so fast! Here's a couple pics of her birthday party we did this year with a couple friends! Yes, I know, I'm crazy! But when you go for three years telling your child..." no Hanna, don't open that present, it's not for you, it's for the other little girl..." You just feel like she needs to have a special day of her own!!!

Hanna wanted a princess party but picked out Dora invitations, and wanted a barbie cake! ohwell, give them what they want on their birthdays right? She has half boy friends and half girl friends so we just said to come dressed up! We had everything from Spiderman & Buzz light year to Snow white, Bell and Sleeping beauty!

That weekend, Jon's mom and dad came down to visit for Hanna andhad Sunday dinner with us! Thanks for driving all the way down there guys!

Jordynn and Hanna! The best of friends and the worst of friends!

Here is a picture of the cake I mad for Hanna! I had a castle cake planned then at the last minute Hanna changed her mind to a barbie cake! I had no complaints, being as a barbie cake is much easier to make! It was a hit though! It had a 2 round cake base with a dome cake on top which was filled with Hanna's favorite Strawberry icecream! It took about 4 hours to make but it was worth it! YUMMY!

She must have had a barbie theme going on because she got plenty of princess-barbie dolls! She was in heaven!

Hunter was very eager to help!

I am sorry there are no pics of the house yet, we are still getting it put together! Soon, I promise! The new ward is really nice and everyone seems really cool! Nothing compared to the old ward though! We miss you guys so much! Next week we'll be in Powell and Amy will be staying with the kiddos at our house! Everyone say a prayer for her!!!haha!!! jk Amy, the kids are so excited!
