Three weeks old!

Hey everybody! I'm adjusting to my new life here. I eat a lot! I also like to play. Unfortunately, for my Mommy I don't like to sleep too much - I might miss something. Overall I'm pretty happy and content most of the time. Here are a few pictures of me... ain't I the cutest!

Look at me in the swing:
I love to sleep on Daddy's chest:

Harrison is Here!

WOW! What a week it's been. After much discussion from my doctors over the last week about inducing me the week of 10/27 to my surprise Harrison had plans of his own. My water broke around 3:30am Monday morning. We had a 10am appt already scheduled so we decided to go in and see what the deal was and of course they sent me to the hospital. Our journey was just beginning.
Once there, and all checked in, the doctors kicked my labor into high gear and we were moving along rather quickly. By 12am it was time to start pushing and after a lot of hard work on my part Harrison McLean Geer made his entrance into the world at 1:16am. He's a tiny little thing, 5 lbs, 12 ozs and 18 3/4 inches, not at all what we expected. As you can see below he has the sweetest face!!! We are all very in love with this little guy - he has quite a few fans.
Harrison had a little issue with his transition into the world and had to spend his first few days in a special nursery. His blood sugar was low initially and after recovering from that ended up with a little jaundice. Although it's tough to see your brand new baby hooked to monitors and receiving an IV and having limited access to hold and love him - we knew he was in good hands. LUCKILY we were able to take him home on Thursday 10/30, the same day I was to go home.
Since being home he's not sleeping really good at night, but he's eating more and more at every feeding so this little guy won't be little for long. We'll post more soon!

An update on us...

Just a quick note to update you on how we (me and Harrison) are fairing these days. Last Friday, I was sent to hospital for a little monitoring - my blood pressure was a little higher than the doctors would like, totally a precautionary measure. Harrison was totally unaffected by any of this - he continued to play and kick and hang out, without much complaint. Anyway - my doctors will continue to monitor the situation closely and have put me on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. At this point they believe I will deliver about 2 weeks early. HOWEVER - as anyone who's had a baby can attest - there are no guarantees when it comes to this kind of stuff. SOOOOO - we'll keep you posted.

The Finished Product

The rest of the house looks like Babies R Us blew up all over it. But the nursery is finally complete. Here are a few pictures...

FINALLY - the furniture has arrived!

I have yet another big baby weekend ahead of me. Today the furniture was delivered and I have a LOT of washing and organizing to do. Jason is going out of town for his last football weekend of the year (I know, I'm the best wife ever.) So... G-Ninny (my mom) is coming up to help me get things situated. I have some last minute things to purchase and I really suck at folding laundry so I called in a Mommy Expert.
Again, I must say that for such a tiny person, this kid has made a real mess of our house. :) And he's not even here yet to really make a mess!
I will have pictures of the finished product next week. Check back!
