rich family skip to main skip to sidebar rich family thursday april 11 2013 its been too long i can t believe a year has almost gone by it is a bitter sweet moment i am so excited and blessed to have made it to a year with such a good baby medical updates harper is doing so well i couldn t be a prouder momma he is eating really well despise the tube still in he is crawling everywhere and into everything he is off oxygen and growing so big he is jabbering and acts like he s talking he cracks me up every day his new thing is to listen on the phone for daddy here are a few pics of the latest going on in the rich family we had a friend of ours take our family pics for a christmas card it was hectic trying to get the tube out and getting pictures taken but i couldn t be happier with how they turned out i know i m a psycho mom for pulling his tube out for pics and then putting it back in we had our first get away with this little guy down to st george with our good friends josh and dana dunyon we had a blast and harper had his first kiss with the cutest girl around stud already bonus she s an older women our first trip to see the lights at temple square with harps first time sitting up at harper s cousins house we were so excited i love this two boys and who can resist that laugh and smile on the little one new year s eve with pop pop cardiologist check up took him off oxygen such a good big boy my birthday was a blast i was able to stuff my face with yummy food and take a weekend trip with my parents down to st george to see family and the home show it s what i love i know crazy these two fight over toys but i m worried because i think harper really wants to be a dog when he grows up he learns too much from lucy so i m introducing you all to someone very special in our family this sweet boy was in the same room at primary s when harper was flown up there they were together 10 days before they switched rooms look how good bronco looks i was able to get in touch with his mommy and he is doing so good it is so nice to hear of these amazing warriors and they re success so far out from surgery it is so nice to know sometimes that moms go through the same struggles and heartache as we have he is a special boy and he has been an inspiration to us they share the same defect but harper s hole is obviously larger so we had to take another route this family helped lift us in dark times and help us understand what to expect as a parent we love them and will ever be grateful for their friendship and their sweet boy harper s first friend harper s first time crawling we were just playing and all the sudden he just went i couldn t be a happier mommy it was a special moment for me he had been seeing a therapist to help him with his development once he crawled i cancelled our next appointment and haven t gone back since he isn t behind he s right on track mdb we had our first trip away with harper we went to arizona with pop pop harper s first airplane ride was amazing he did so so good everyone kept coming up to us and telling us how good he did and what a good traveler he is i agree we were able to go to a little farm petting zoo for just a bit harper was a little unsure but loved touching all the animals there while in az we were able to see our good friend s baby boy cooper he is such sweetheart and already such a cutie it was so good to catch up with amanda and bj our good friends our first time in the pool with harps he loved it couldn t get enough of the pool every time we took him out he wanted back in he kept trying to pick up the water and eat it silly boy i think i have been pumping way too long need i say more we had an opportunity to go to quinn s good friend s concert imagine dragons we used to go in provo at the velour to watch him but i guess he s big time now most of my family was able to go it was so fun to dance and have a good time harper was getting into trouble at grandma jod s house while we were away harper s first haircut by his aunt amber cute itty bitty bum bum for some reason at grandma bev s house harper kept trying to get on his head silly boy growing up so fast already looks like a little boy bike ride with aunt coley and cousin lexi he will hate us when he s older grandma jod took us all to the hogle zoo such a great day harper loved the bears and the seals my favorite were the giraffes we had a fun day at the park with cousins on a warm spring day we had a little picnic and played such a good day harper loves being outside we missed a lot last year when he struggled with the heat so we will live it up this year i just wanted to take a moment and remember how blessed i am i have a happy healthy strong little boy he amazes me every day i can t get enough of him he makes me laugh and cry but most of all he s taught me what true love is i couldn t have been through everything this year without my best friend andrew has been such a great strength to me and i couldn t have been the mother i am without his love support and encouragement through everything one night i was watching this sweet boy sleep i just thanked the lord that he is healthy i could see his chest rise and fall at a normal rhythm it s a miracle he can breathe on his own without oxygen i have been so blessed this little boy is so special and i couldn t be luckier to be his momma

t believe it has already been one half a year since i had this miracle harper is such a strong and funny boy lately he has been feeling so much better he is developing more and more physically everyday we laugh at his sense of humor and personality he s developing he is learning to sit up eat baby fruit and veggies and already gives us quite the personality it is so fun to watch him grow up but so sad to have time fly by so fast doctor updates we met with dr tani cardiologist he said harper looks the best he has ever seen him his heart and lungs look the best they ever have and he physically looks well he looks and acts like a normal baby he just has a few defects inside we met with the gi specialist unfortunately we didn t find out anything new we are very frustrated with his eating and feeding tube no one seems to have any answers as to why he doesn t want to eat we ve wanted this tube out for a long time but i don t see the end of it anytime soon the more active harper gets the harder it is feeding him this way his therapy for his neck is going really well we only have to go to therapy every 2 weeks now because he is doing so much better his head seems to be getting a better shape now that he isn t laying down so much his neck is also stretching more so he can look both ways without straining his neck to say the least he s growing up as for us we just love being parents and watching this boy grow every day when i seem to have a bad day harper just smiles and it makes everything gloomy disappear he s such a light in my life can t get enough of this smile first time he rolled over he was very confused where he was to say the least 6 month birthday we walked down to this cute pumpkin patch just down from our house to find they had already picked all the pumpkins for the year we bought a few out of their trailer and headed back home we snagged a pick of harper s first pumpkin but it was getting late so the pics didn t turn out sorry since it s hard taking a 6 month old trick or treating we decided to have a party at our house we just invited our families to come enjoy good food and treats it was required to dress up but as always you get the party poopers who don t dress up aka andrew we had chili and lots of treats andrew claims he was a missionary on p day but i beg to differ harper was a cute little lion and lucy was frankenstein lucy was so embarrassed to be dressed up her costume didn t last long harper has figured out the lower half but can t seem to get his arms out of the way a little stink bug with his bum high in the air he is rolling all over the place all of the kiddos got together at the park to have lunch it was harper s first time in the swing and he loved it lexi kept playing peek a boo and harper laughed everytime according to the scale at the park andrew is just over 5 6 we had to take a picture he also pulled out his elementary recess sweater trick tied around his waist harper dressed up for the election even though we didn t get out that day to vote andrew voted for the family i guess he is loving some sweet potatoes i love this boy we had the chance to go up to the farm again harper got to spend some fun time with the cousins everyone ended up being sick though so we spent most of the time indoors harper loves playing with his cousins as you can tell brecken is loving harper as well i can already tell these two boys are going to be trouble together once again i slack on updating this blog in the meantime we will be enjoying and loving on this boy as much as possible never knew i could love someone or something so much as this boy i love being a mom i guess since it is november just before thanksgiving i better give thanks i am so grateful for the little family i have they bring me so much joy happiness and love in my life i am thankful for a loving husband who treats me so well i don t know how i got so lucky i am grateful for the friends and family who surround support and love us i am grateful for the lord and all he has blessed me with and his sacrifice for me happy thanksgiving all posted by rich at 3 30 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday october 15 2012 slacking first i want to apologize for slacking we have been enjoying the time we ve had with our sweet boy i guess i have been putting this off because there is so much to update but if i would do it more often there wouldn t be so much harper is such a trooper lately we have had a ton of doctor appointments and check ups he had his 4 week post op check up and they were pleased with how well he was doing they were able to take him off the oxygen during the day he only has to put it on at night just as a little boost in case he falls asleep a little too deep we were also told he could catch up on his vaccinations and shots it s important harper keeps up on these we don t want to catch any sickness or infection going around shots aren t fun harper gets a little sick with shots so it was hard for him to bounce back after those our big boy was weighing in at 15 lbs 12 oz and 27 inches long at 5 months we also met with an orthopedic therapist because we were concerned with a flat spot on his head the therapist is working with us to stretch out his neck on one side if we can get him better before 6 months hopefully he won t have to wear the hideous helmet lastly we met with a speech therapist to help with his feeding he is doing good with food orally he acts like he really wants the bottle it just hurts to eat so they think harper has a bigger problem with reflux than we had originally thought we see a gi stomach specialist the end of this month to see if we can help him feel better when he eats we figure if he feels better he will eat better and we can get that stupid feeding tube out fingers crossed other than these minor things harper is doing really well we have enjoyed every minute with him it is so great to be home and see him progress harper s 6 week post op mark will be on tuesday this means his incision and bone has healed from the surgery enough to start activities with him harper has already shown signs he is feeling better he rolls to his side not all the way over yet he sits on our lap and looks around his favorite is to watch football with dad or mickey mouse clubhouse in the morning we are trying to strengthen his legs because of surgery he is a little behind in some things such a happy boy after everything he s been through couldn t be a prouder mommy lucy and harper are best buds she lets him grab and pull she licks his toes and he smiles best friends for life grandma bev came to visit after his shots because he was having a rough time it s always good to have grandma come and help out a little andrew s birthday turned 27 we had his family down for dinner his mom made his favorite beef burgundy i made him a carrot cake for his birthday i got him a remote starter for his truck he loves not having to get into a cold truck on those chilly mornings we love these jammies so cute for halloween our little bones he puts everything in his mouth even toes mmmmm one fall sunday afternoon we took a drive up the provo canyon and decided to go on a stroll at bridal veil falls it was so pretty i love the fall and i love the provo canyon in the fall it is breathtaking he eats books harper was showing off his new kicks pop pop rich got him andrew went hunting up to deseret with his dad and josh for a weekend he shot an elk so proud dana and bella came to stay with us while andrew was hunting so much fun to spend time with them we went to our favorite place cubby s first weekend in october we were able to finally go up to the farm after surgery harper loved riding in the tractor and looking at all of grandpa alan s toys we loved spending time on the farm during sugar beet harvest at night harper was fed continuously through his feeding tube on a pump it would release so much milk every hour that way we wouldn t have to spend our nights up feeding him when we were in idaho we forgot some supplies for the pump we decided to see how he did throughout the night without food he slept the whole night without waking up we got home and decided since he didn t need the pump he didn t need to sleep in our room anymore we put him in his crib for the first time he loved it and has slept soundly every night since he loves his room and his crib so happy to have our room back i can t believe how much my little boy is growing up he changes every day i love spending every minute with this sweet boy he makes me so happy and i never thought i could love anything more posted by rich at 10 39 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest older
