Welcome to the world Harmony Clara Gorton

Well, for those of you who haven't heard...Harmony has arrived!!!!

After 22 hours of labor and 35 minutes of pushing she entered our world at 11:08pm on October 5, 2010. Weighing in at 7lbs 4 oz and 20 1/2in long, she is a perfect beauty!!!!

I'm for sure a Daddy's girl!


...but I love my Mommy too (when she's not smothering me with kisses)!


I can't wait to get rid of the mittens, so Daddy tried to help me out by giving me a manicure, and I LOVED it!


I also like naps on Mommy or Daddy's chest...I sleep really peacefully there!


That's all for now...we'll try to keep you updated a little more often now that we are settling in a little better now!

"Full Term"

So here was us last week...37 week, which is considered "full term"!
We could go in to labor any day from now to October 3rd and it will be safe! We had an ultrasound last week and she was weighing in at 6 lbs. She's a tiny little thing, but feels more like a watermelon in my belly!



I'm 38 weeks now, so we have only 2 weeks left until the "due date"! However, at my last Dr's appt, I was 2 cm's dilated, 90% effaced and Harmony's head is at ZERO station (basically, she is in posistion and waiting for me to dilate to 4 cm's...that's considered "active labor")!

We've been setting up her nursery...here's a picture of her BEAUTIFUL crib (compliments of BeBe and Randy (yes, my dad wants Harmony to call him "Randy"...but I think she'll decide what she's going to call him and he'll love it) He'll be wrapped around her tiny little finger)!



I've definitely been doing a little bit of nesting, and I think Jeff has been too a little bit...

Hehe! Just kidding...kinda! We got a great carrier for my birthday from my brother and my sister-in-law! I think Jeff looks great in it! I had to put a little stuffed animal in in for us to really test it out! Hehe!

Hope you all enjoy the pics! They'll probably be the last until after we are home and settled in with Harmony! Wish us luck!

About 20 Weeks!

So here we are...a few days shy of 20 weeks!!



I still haven't caved in 100% to maternity clothes, as you can see from my previous post...I'm not too fond of them!! On my days off from work you can find me in my yoga pants, the one cute pair of shorts I got a Targét or a loose flowy dress! I gotta hand it to Targét...but you have to remember that the maternity shopping where I live is few and very far between...they had the cutest selection out of anywhere I've been, but the selection is quite small.

Anyway, Jeff & I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary on Sunday!!! We are so excited! We're going to take a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon and stay at a lodge up there!!! We have both gotten into photography since the purchase of our first major camera back two Christmas' ago! So we wanted to go somewhere that the scenery would be beautiful to photograph...maybe we'll get a few more maternity & family shots too! I'll update as soon as we get home and I get the chance!

Introducing...

OUR LITTLE BEAN!!!


Jeff and I are so excited to finally announce that we are pregnant...well I'm pregnant! :) We are beyond thrilled! We've been waiting three months to scream it from the top of our lungs...and the time has finally come! The "Bean" is due to enter the world on October 5, 2010!
So far, I have not had any "morning sickness"! I guess that would make me one of the lucky few! My mom never had it with neither my brother nor me! So I guess that gene runs pretty strong in our family! YAY for me! Hehe! I will post pictures as my belly starts to expand...oh and is it starting already! WOAH! But for now...you get to see our little "Bean's" 1st photo!
