2012 ALREADY??!!! and Feb is almost over.. phew.

Lots has happened! Ok well mostly after I started my job at the Cancer Clinic I found out I was pregnant, what a life changer. We took 5-6 pregnancy tests just to make sure. haha. So after a long LONG 9-10 months we finally had a baby boy, Harrison Jay Full. Brian picked out his name, and I picked the middle name. I guess Brian has always liked the name Harrison and is an avid Indiana Jones fan. Jay was my dad's name and all the siblings in my family have used his name in their kids names. Its kind of tradition and a nice way to honor our dad. He died when he was 47 and he is still loved and missed 12 or so years later. So I think this little boy Harrison has a lot of potential! We sure love him. It took me a little bit to adjust to having a new baby. At first I was really waiting for his parents to come and get him, it seemed like a long babysitting stint. I even referred to myself as Aunt Connie a few times. I have been an Aunty for so long, I wasn't completely sure I was the real mom of this child even though he did grow in my belly that whole time. But the more time we have together the more we bond and I just love him so much!!! He has started smiling, and cooing a bit. He is a joy and has changed our lives forever. Mom came for a week after Harrison came and that was really nice. We just had a mini family get together in Utah last weekend for my cousin Kourtney's wedding. It was nice to see everyone and introduce them to Harrison. Only missing my brother Joe and his family :( Hopefully we will see them soon. I have to go back to work at the end of this month and I am NOT looking forward to it. We are running out of money though ugh so I guess I better get back in the saddle! It has been so nice to have time off. I took a few weeks extra. I felt like I spent most of my maternity leave recovering from the c-section and just this last week or two have felt more like myself and finally have some energy! Brian has finally recovered from my pregnancy too. I think he got tired of his wifey being pregnant and disasterized too.
