A friend of mine bought this outfit for Anna. Katie put it her today and when i came home for lunch i couldn't help but look at her the whole time. I have the cutest baby EVER! I find myself staring at her for long periods of time and wonder how i became so lucky to have her in my life. I am a blessed man.

She has arrived

We are proud to announce the arrival of Anna Mai'a Harp. She was born on February 17th 2010 at 7:29pm. She weights 8lbs 4.7oz. and is 20 inches long. Katie and Anna are doing great. This is so surreal to us right now. Everything came so fast. Katie was in labor for less than 6 hours. She only had to push for 10 minutes. Katie was born to breed. The doctor just told us we will leave the hospital on Friday. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. We love you. Enjoy the pictures.

Quick hospital update.

Katie had a doctors appointment at 10:30am today and our doctor told Katie she was 3cm dilated. Her blood pressure was a little high and he wanted to send her to the hospital to break her water and enduce labor. I left work and when i got to the hospital katie was already in her bed and ready to go. The doctor broke her water and it wasn't long before the contractions were getting uncomfortable. Katie was in some pain for a short time while 3 doctors tried to stick her with an IV. It took 5 trys. They gave her the IV because her hands and legs were cramping possibly from dehydration. Katie is doing well right now and the nurse says she is 6cm dilated. We will keep you informed with more. I am updating facebook every once in a while.-seth

Happy Valentines Day and 39 week Picture

I have slacked on posting belly pictures. So now I am posting what I look like now. The pictures make me look HUGE. ALL of my clothes are getting too small. Good thing my due date is fast approaching and I stop getting bigger. These past couple of week I have started to feel more and more uncomfortable. If I stand for too long my feet get swollen and I get really tired. But that is just a small price to pay for such a wonderful miracle.

AND... HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that everyone had a great day with the ones that they love. Seth and I had a great day that started off with a yummy breakfast in bed and ended with a steak and potato dinner with the missionaries and spending time with good friends. We love you all!

BABY SHOWERS!!! Yay

January was a very busy month. I was blessed with two baby showers. They were very fun and I everyone was very generous. On January 9th. My ward (Heather Mavandi and others) held a baby shower for me. It started at 10, so we ate a lot of yummy breakfast food. Karla Anderson conducted so enjoyable games that kept everyone involved in the activities. Thanks everyone! I got many practical gifts and very cute clothes. My ward is very talented and they made a lot of homemade items for little Anna. I got nice blankets, booties, bags, hair bows, personalized onesies, and many more cute homemade gifts.

Homemade blanket from Becky Fowers. Thanks Becky, I love it!

Then my good friend Janica, put together a baby shower for me on January 16, in Fullerton. She did a great job. This shower was also at 10 am, so we had some really YUMMY breakfast food again. My friend Jasmine made crepes that were very fancy and yummy. It was so nice to see my Fullerton friends again. I really miss them. During the shower, we enjoyed interacting with each other and playing the "How big do you think Katie's belly is?" game. It was fun to see how big people thought I was. : ) I was also blessed with many great gifts at this shower.

Emily was my helper. She loved unwrapping the presents.

All the clothes that I got.

Photos by Lin&Jirsa

A good friend of mine was willing to trade a photo shoot session for work on his car. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. On Wednesday i got off work early and the three of us drove down to San Juan Capistsrano and Victoria Beach for the photo shoot. I cannot believe how well the pictures turned out. My friend, Payam Jirsa, turned simple every day scenes into artwork. Lin&Jirsa.com check them out. We had the privilege of shooting at the beach with a nude model. Luckily Katie wasn't wearing glasses so no dirty thoughts came into our vacinity.
