Lillian's room / 34.5 Belly

We are just about done with Lillian's room so I thought I would post an update. I have one more thing to put up above her closet doors and I am also looking for something cute for diapers but overall close to being done. It is simple and sweet. Hope everyone loves it as much as we do . I think it is Harper's favorite room in the house. She loves to go in there and tells us all the time Lillian is coming soon. 

And here are a few pictures of my belly at 34.5 weeks. Growing big and fast! 

34.5

Just another Warren week!

This week has gone by quick as they always do these days. We really haven't done anything crazy . Just hanging out as a family when we can and enjoying our only child for a few more weeks. This past week I caught Harper hanging out in the baby swing watching her show. It cracked me up. Man I am going to have to watch her with the baby in that swing.

We also ran to the outlets and bought a few things for maternity pictures and I bought the diaper bag I had been wanting to get . I love it but I am saving it for when Lillian comes so its packed with her hospital stuff hanging in her room. SO TEMPTING to use it..  On our way home we ate dinner and picked up some frozen yogurt. It is the only way to survive this Texas heat..

Brad also brought home the cutest shower head for Harper. It has been a huge deal at our house every day since he installed it. She loves it and asks every time she gets a morsel of dirt on her if she can take a dolphin shower. We haven't taken a bath in days and that is okay with mommy. I can barely bend over the tub at this point so it makes bath time easier.

We also went to the splash park this week. This was the first time this year and she has been talking about it since. We are meeting Kymber tomorrow for donuts and splash park so I am sure she is going to go nuts when she figures out what we are doing.

And also we have been trying to spend as much time playing in the back yard. Harper drags poor Riley around every where. Thanks God he is so patient with her. She puts him in her playhouse all the time and he just looks out  in misery.. HAHA....

Also I am officially 34 weeks. I am blown away by this. Crazy to think that in a few weeks we will finally meet Lillian. I had my appointment last Thursday and here are the stats:

HR: 148
Weight: 7 lbs
Cravings: Avocados, Sweets, and Soup.
I had to start re flux medication to relieve some of the re flux. It just started and I find myself nauseated again from it. I can tell it helps already. I am beginning to have lots of aches and pains. My feet and back are killing me at the end of the day. I guess this is to be expected after working long hours or chasing Harper all day. I have started washing things and cleaning bottles at this point. Just want everything to be done as much as possible. Dr. N is going out of town next week so I am waiting an extra week for another appointment so I promise to keep everyone posted as the end draws near. This next week we are taking a family night and staying at the Gaylord to relax. We are going to do some fun stuff with Harper and hang out by the pool. I guess you can call it our staycation..:)

Hope everyone is having a great week.

32 weeks

Just wanted to post a few pictures from this past week. Hard to believe I will be 33 weeks on Thursday. I have an appointment on Thursday so I will post an update. I took a few pictures this week and just wanted to remember what I looked like at this stage with Lillian. I am feeling HUGE!!

Two Years Old

June 3, 2010,  My life changed forever ! I became a mother and I will never forget that day. It completely amazes me daily how fast Harper is growing. She is already 2! How did this happen so fast? This week we had her 2 year checkup and her first dental appointment. She did so great at both appointments. So here are her two year stats:

HT: 33 1/2 - 40%
WT: 22 lbs- OTC (again)
HC: 18 1/2- 35%

Harper is still tiny :) but Dr. B is not concerned at all . She continues to grow and gain weight .She has just always been small so I am trying not to let it concern me as much anymore. She still walks on her tippy toes and we had a long conversation about that. You would not believe the comments we get in public. It is either " OH HOW CUTE" or " DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT IS FOR HER". But Dr. B says not to worry at all , because she goes back and forth to flat foot and tippy that it is not something to worry about. After all I still catch myself doing it and I am 30. She is wearing anything from 12 months to 12-18 in clothes and wears mainly 4 but some 5 size shoes. Still in size 3 diapers although I use size 4 at night just because you go so long in it. Harper your hair is so cute. You still do not have enough for a pony tail but I am trying to pull it back on the top to get it out of your face. It is so curly on the ends. I love it. So cute when it curls up especially if its humid.
Favorite Foods:
Avocado- I swear you would eat two a day if we fed it to you. Whether its plain or guacamole you love it every time.
Crackers and cheese
Mac n cheese
Hot dogs
Any bean we give you.
Pancakes
ANYTHING SWEET!!

You love to watch movies at this point. We have  you a dvd player in the car and you watch different things when we travel. But at home you usually watch mainly a small amount of Nick Jr in the Am and PM. Favorite movie is Monsters Inc  right now.You love for Daddy to read to you . We have two pop out animal books you want him to read every night. You can count to 16 and have almost mastered the alphabet song. All of your colors have been mastered for a while and just recently you are asking to use the big girl potty. I haven't pressured you at all and we just put up an Elmo potty chart that you sticker when you go and we give you mini M&;M's if you go. Some days you go 4-5x and others 2-3 .

I just want you to do it on your own pace. I know you are smart and your face lights up every time you use the potty. Not bad for week one if you ask me. Cracks us up. We all have to know in the house and all do the potty dance . If one of us is gone from the house, you have to call us to tell us on the phone you used the potty. SO CUTE.. Your favorite stuffed animal is still Chester, but we also have to sleep with Hippo and Seahorse every night. Bedtime is great. You are now, with summer ,staying up until 9 or 9:15 but sleeping in until 7:30-8:30 in the mornings.

Favorite things you say:
Harper do it... You want to do everything now. I find myself picking my battles. You have been known to wear your shoes on the wrong feet because you refuse to change them. :)
Yeah!!!- cracks me up when you look up at me and say in the sweetest voice ever " YEAH" after I ask you a question. Sometimes I am pretty sure you have no idea what I am talking about.
Gatorade and Dinosaur: It sounds hysterical.
Love you ....  It melts my heart to hear you say this. As a parent its the best feeling ever.
Lillian: you try so hard to say Lillian but you do not quite have it figured out .
Harper you are a repeat! Now you say everything we say. We recently had our first bad incident with a word. I guess because Emma barks so much someone said " Shut Up" , now you say it and I have to get on to you. I hate that because it is our fault you say it but its a NO NO word. We are all working on doing better about watching what we say around you.
You love playing outside and continue to love animals. You are so funny . You are continuously making us laugh. You are obsessed with bugs and it cracks me up to sit and talk with you . We have full blow conversations and you tell me about your day.
We love you so much  and you are the greatest thing to happen to us. We cannot wait to see what you are doing in a year. We feel so honored to be your parents and I hope you know everyday how special you are to us. After her 2 yr appointment with Dr. B , we took you to your first dental appointment. You did amazing.

I could not believe how awesome you did. You opened and let her count your teeth and all. We got a good report. Dentist said your teeth were strong and healthy.  We go back in  6 months so I hope soon you will let them clean your teeth. Well angel you are our favorite 2 year old and we look forward to celebrating many more birthdays.

Oink! Moo! Cock-a-doodle-do ! Harper Lynne is 2 !

                                                       

Yeah, my sweet girl had her second birthday party. Even though she had been sick , we decided to keep things the same and have the party. We ended up canceling the kids just to be safe and not expose anyone to Harper's illness, but Harper's cousins and BFF were still able to make it. So early Saturday morning we finished setting up a petting zoo party for my favorite toddler. Lately Harper is so into animals , just like her mommy :) , and so it was the only theme I could think to do . So we had a petting zoo come to the house and had barbecue, balloons, banners and baby animals. It went perfect. We had all of our family which I knew Harper would love. She was so excited when she saw the family pull up and the petting zoo  being set up. The petting zoo was the most adorable thing ever . It was babies for babies which was all baby animals. There were baby pot belly pigs, baby goats, baby ducks, baby chickens and baby rabbits and then a few guinea pigs to play with. Harper was even able to bottle feed the baby goats and pigs with milk bottles. We had the best time. I think everyone was in there playing with the animals at some point. We then came in and ate some lunch and Harper opened her gifts. She got some wonderful stuff, Thanks again to all of our family and friends that brought something to Harper. She got a trampoline, beetle power wheel, vintage tricycle, and tons of other things. And then at the very end we sang Happy Birthday and lite two candles on her very own pig shaped cake. Another wonderful birthday has come and gone. We are so grateful of Harper's health and happiness and cannot wait to celebrate her 3 rd party. We love you angel and hope you had the best time. Here are some fun pictures from the party.
