The Story

After 26 hours of labor, Kyle Christopher Harker was born on February 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 am via C-Section. He weighted 8 lbs 7 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. He spent his first 3 days in NICU with pneumonia and on antibiotics but he is now a very healthy, growing boy! He is certainly the light of my life and I can't tell you how incredibly lucky I feel to be so blessed with such a wonderful gift.

I'm all clean!


Kyle's favorite time of day has to be his bath time! He loves to kick and splash his arms and chubby legs in the water.

Look at my new hat!

Kyle wasn't quite sure what to make of that thing Mommy put on his head,
but he sure loved the attention he got while wearing it!

Cousin Marin, Grandma, Cousin Julia, Cousin Felipe, ME and Cousin Andrew

Hey man! Where's hollywood???
Grandma Marilyn and Cousin Andrew think I am pretty dang cool!

Before I was a Mom......

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom -I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

My Blessing Day


Sunday March 30th, Grandpa Norm gave me a blessing at church. He blessed me with a lot of things but mostly blessed me to be healthy and happy for life. It was my special day! Family and friends came to help me celebrate.
