31 weeks and Sick Harper

This week has been a rough one around the Warren household. After arriving home last week I went to work and on Sunday I got a call that Harper was running a high fever and screaming for her mommy.I ended up leaving work early and heading home to take Harper to the pediatric after hours clinic. When we got there we found out she had Strep Throat and Hand Foot Mouth . Hand Foot Mouth is a virus toddlers get but it causes ulcers . Harper only had them in her throat but I can only imagine how horrible that was with strep throat. We then had some rough nights of no sleep and only one vomit experience , thank the lord. Daddy came home late Tuesday and I was so glad to see him. I have been so exhausted all week.


 Then I had my 31 week checkup with Dr. N on  Tuesday.

Heart rate: 168
Weight : + 5
Cravings: Avocado, Steak and sweets! I know what a combination.


Everything looked good. I received my Rhogam shot and scheduled a date for my C/S. I am a little devastated on the date because it is not what I wanted at all but who knows it can change at any time so I am trying to not get to worried about it. Everything was booked but Dr. N is going to continue to check and see if we can move the date to another day. Harper had her own plan anyways so we will see how Lillian makes her debut. Lately I am feeling really exhausted. I am also having lots of pain in the right rib cage. I am also having some contractions already but they are never consistent . Thank the Lord. I am finding myself having to take it easier this time around. It is getting hot out and if I try to do much outside I can tell it affects me. I am  loving feeling her inside my belly. It is the most reassuring thing to know she is happy and healthy in there. I think it is so funny how at the time of pregnancy you feel so miserable all you want is to deliver them but as soon as they come you miss that feeling of being pregnant. We haven't done much to Lillian's room lately , I decided I did not like two decals we put up so we removed them and I replaced them with two pictures I liked more. I still need to find a rug and I am waiting on a painting made by a friend of moms and some blocks that have her name on them that a sweet friend gave me. I am finally making a list of what I need to get so over the next few weeks I can start getting the last things together. 8 weeks seems like a long time but trust me it will fly by. Harper is turning 2 this weekend so we are having her party. I am disappointed we had to cancel her friends due to the Hand Foot Mouth . It can be contagious for a while. But we still have lots of family coming and decided to keep her petting zoo . So I hope she enjoys it. I am super excited to see her excited face Saturday morning. I will post some  birthday pictures as soon as possible this weekend. Here are two pictures of my sick baby girl this week.

She is doing better everyday and we are so grateful for that .

Family Fun

Last week we took our last trip together as a family of 3 to the coast. Because I am not allowed to travel after 32 weeks down there we wanted to go one last time for some family fun. We actually had DeeAnna, Matt, Kymber and Bristyn meet us down there to have a little fun. So we drove down after I worked on Sunday night and they met us down there late Monday night. The first day we played outside and took it easy and then in the evening after nap time we headed to the pool to play. The girls had a blast playing in the pool.

Then on Wednesday we loaded up 3 car seats and 4 adults in one car and headed down to the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. The girls played for a few minutes at the beach for the very first time.

We had a nice lunch too !

 We also played in the sand

and grilled food every night. The last night we showed the girls how to fish so that next time we can take them.

We headed back on Friday but last minute Brad needed to stay for work so Harper and I flew back. I was scared to fly alone with Harper but she did amazing the whole way.

She loved flying in the plane. She pointed out every cloud and loved getting to know the people that sat next to us on each flight. It was a crazy busy week but I think the girls had a blast and we all had a fun time hanging out together. We cannot wait to do it again when Lillian makes her arrival. We are hoping to go together when she is 4 weeks old. We will see how brave this mommy is.

Lillian's sweet 3D face!

On Friday , we had the chance to do a 3D sono. We did this sono with Harper , but with her position it was so hard to get any pictures. And Lillian didn't let us down , haha!!! She really made me laugh. She covered her face for about 75 % of the sono , but we did manage to get a few pictures and the one's we did I LOVE... She is so precious and it made me so super excited to meet her. I looked back at Harper's pictures the day she was born and I see so much similarity. I think our girls are going to look so much alike. Here are a few precious pictures of our Lillian. We love you so much baby girl and Harper, Mommy and Daddy cannot wait to meet you.. And one picture of Harper that shows how much a like the girls look already!

Lillian Yawning!

Lillian 28 weeks

28 weeks and counting!!


 We had an appointment last week and everything looked great, here are the current stats:



 Weight :0- officially back to pre-preggo weight so now it is time to bring on the extra pounds! :)
Cravings: Cereal and sweet tea
HR: 160


 Dr. N said everything is going so wonderful and my next appointment will start my every two week visits. I cannot believe it is already time for that. I ended up working a last minute week shift last week so I was actually off while Brad was home last Saturday so we worked in Lillian's room. We made some progress and it is coming along great. I found a bedside table I loved at Canton last week so we added that and the bedding and put up some decals and a mirror. I have a few more things to find, but I am so excited to see the room come together.

I also have a few 28 week pictures! I feel huge this time. I am already so much bigger than I was with Harper. They did say she was measuring tall but everyone keeps teasing me Lillian is going to be a big baby. Anything bigger that 5 lb 10 oz Harper is going to be big to me.

Mimi also bought the girls the cutest vintage true pillowcase dresses at Canton.

I can not wait to have them monogrammed. I love them. She also bought Lillian's coming home outfit and shoes. The dress is perfect ! Mimi bought Harper's as well and it was a Feltman Brothers so we had to find another in a new color for Lillian. So her coming home outfit is complete with shoes, dress , bracelet and bow. What else could a girl need? Tomorrow is a big day as well. We are having a 3D sono done. We had one with Harper but it didn't go well because of her position in the belly so lets hope it goes better this time. I am thrilled to see if I think she looks like Harper. I promise to post pictures as soon as possible. We are getting so excited to meet this sweet baby girl. And last I wanted to post the most hysterical picture.

 This week when Harper was being extra quiet I found her in the living room with the bottom paste lathering up her baby dolls bottom. I guess this means she is officially prepared for her baby sister. Love MY GIRLS....

Goodbye April

Last week went by so fast, as most weeks lately. But as usual we had lots of fun ! We started the week painting some super cute toes. We also painted a butterfly stone for Harper's garden. We went shopping for some flowers with Daddy to plant in our backyard play area. And then we planted some flowers with MiMi! I love weeks like this where we just hang out as a family and do normal things. It won't be long before our family goes from 3 to 4 and I enjoy doing small things with Harper as an only child.
