Christmas '07

We stayed at home this Christmas instead of going to see my family in Kirksville, Mo. Anytime we stay home it feels different but we still had a good time. Randy and I both bought each other an I Phone. Randy also bought me a David Yurman bracelet that I have been wanting for years. We had a Christmas Eve party with my Austin family and didn't get around to opening gifts until 11:30pm. We were all exhausted but excited to open gifts. On Christmas morning we opened our "Santa gift" from our sweet husbands and our stockings from "Santa and Mrs. Claus" aka, my parents. All in all it was great to spend time with family and reflect on our Savior's birth.

Maximillion

With all this talk about the new baby coming, I have failed to mention our present baby, Maximillion. He is our Wirehair Miniature Dachshund and the love of our lives. He is spoiled rotten and is very interested in Aiden's nursery and toys... maybe too interested! It will be neat to see how our old baby and new baby get along.

Baby Aiden's Nursery

Here are pictures of Aiden's room. It is not complete but it is close. We are still needing things for the the walls and a hutch for his changing table. Now all we need is a baby!

The Nutcracker

I have the sweetest husband in the world. He knows how much I love the Nutcracker Ballet and for the first time in the 9 years I have known him, he took me. It was so much fun to dress up and go downtown and experience the magic of Christmas. Well, Randy dressed up...I wore what actually fit at that point in time. Randy was a good sport, however he tried to convince me that the intermission was the end of the ballet. He didn't outsmart me, though. My parents went with us and we had a great time... at least my Mom and I had a great time.

Baby Shower

These are pictures from my first baby shower thrown by family and friends. It was at my brother and sister in law's house. We had lots of fun and Randy, Aiden and I were spoiled with tons of gifts! I am now 35 weeks and ready for Aiden to be here! We will find out on January 8th, which day my doctor wants to induce. Hopefully, it will be the week of January 27th.

We're having a baby!!!!

Yes, I really can't believe it myself. On May 23rd, 2007 Randy and I found out we were going to be parents! After nearly 2 years of prayers and tears, the Lord blessed us with the news of a future little one entering our lives. On September 4th, we found out that we were having a boy, Aiden Nicklaus Harrison. He is growing very well and is due to arrive at the end of January. I will never forget the look on Randy's face when the sonographer told us it was a boy. I thought Randy was going to pass out. That weekend we found ourselves at Babies R Us registering and planning for our "Little Man". We have had two wonderful showers and have been blessed by all of our family and friend's love and support. I will eventually post some pics from our showers and hopefully one of Aiden's sonograms. Until then...
