Showers of Love

This weekend was such a big event. We had Harper's two showers and they went so great. We recieved so much stuff and all of it was so cute. First was our shower in Rowlett and I was so glad to see everyone! Becky's house was beautiful , as we knew it would be, and the cake was so cute.
Here are the Hostesses


Some of my favorite girls :)



The Cake!



Then on Sunday we had my work shower and it was so much fun. We had so many cute games to play and the cake was beautiful and DELICIOUS as well. Everyone did such a great job decorating and adding little personalized bird stuff.







I am so lucky to have such great friends and family at this time and I couldn't appreciate everything any more than I do. Special thanks to everyone who had to drive from so far to be there with us both days . It means so much to us and I cant wait to use everything when Harper arrives. Today I met the Pediatrician that was recommended to us at 1:30 . He seems to be just what I was looking for. I am looking forward to meeting him again for Harper's first doctors visit. The location is so close to our house and it was so kid friendly , it should make the first experience much easier. I go back to the doctor next Tuesday , I am starting to go every two weeks and before long every week. I can tell the time is getting near , I am so exhausted after work these days and she seems to be really struggling for space. Hard to believe that in 5 weeks our life is going to change forever. Im both nervous and so excited at the same time. We are also having maternity pictures taken next Tuesday as well. I was not sure I was going to do them , but Im afraid I will regret it if I dont so soon I'll have our first family photo to share. So just wanted to say" THANK YOU "again to everyone and post a few pictures of some of the new things we recieved. I wish I could post everything but that would take to much blog space:). We promise to keep everyone posted as things get closer.

Room Update:
The Room is looking amazing. We just have a few minor touches and then it will finally be complete. I spent hours in there yesterday washing clothes and organizing everything that we recieved. Here are a few pictures , I promise to post FINAL pictures soon.

33 weeks and counting...

What has changed lately?

1. Breathing is now a challenge! :)

2. No more sleep , because I spend most of the night in the bathroom!

3. When Harper moves now, it feels so different then before. Its like a slow wave of movement or a painful finger in the ribs...:)Or on occasion she likes to move to the most unusual spots and it amazes me how my belly can shift and mold to whatever makes her happy.
Example:



4. The baby room! We haven't completely finished it! We still have a few final touches but here is a new sneak preview of Harper's new rug and name decal.





5. Back to feeling sick again, :( I think its from lack of space and intense REFLUX. But trying new medications to get it under control.

6. Packed bags. The NICU nurse in me , has everything ready for mom and baby just in case. (I know its early but who can ever be prepared enough.)

7. Brad passing his real estate license test!! Yeah, go Daddy!
.
8. An official Harper arrival date, unless she decides to come early of coarse.
June 7th at 7:30 am , sounds like a perfect Birthday to me...

9. Harper's showers.. I am so grateful to be having both showers this weekend. I cant wait to see everyone and so thankful for everything already. I promise to post pictures of the new stuff we get.

10. And of coarse a growing BELLY!!! So here is an updated picture of my 33 week Belly..


Even though its hard at times , I am thanking God so much for this blessing. We have come so far and everytime she moves I know she is healthy and happy. And nothing makes me happier :)

4D Sono

We had our 4D sono this morning after our appointment. Dr. N said everything looked great at the appointment, and we scheduled our date of delivery. My mother and Cheri went with us to the sono and we all tried to sneak a preview of MISS HARPER. Come to find out , she is still head up and turned facing my spine so pictures were hard to get. Also to make things more difficult she had her hands and feet in her face the whole time. We tried for 40 minutes and tried poking and moving around , but Harper was snuggled in and comfortable. So we only got two that you can even partially see her face and both of them she was sucking on her hands or fingers. It was cute to see that she was sleeping and enjoying her hands. I think she is going to have Brads little rounded nose.. So not much for a preview but still happy to see our little one again. So here are a few pictures , the funniest one is of Harper with both hands over her face as if she is hiding.
