Harper's Collection of Fun...

So, I had to post today with some of Harper's cute stuff she has been accumulating. There is so much stuff I will try to keep it to a minimum and sneak you a peak at this years Fashion Wardrobe. Mom and I ended up driving to Dallas today since I got cancelled from work . I had been wanting this one little onesie at Nordstroms with a cupcake on it so off we went. Well, they don't tell you in motherhood that no one ever goes into a baby store and comes out with one thing. So on a side note, let me just tell you I left with a lot of stuff but NO cupcake onesie!:) Everything is so ridiculously cute and you can actually picture your own child in it , even if I have no idea what Harper will look like. We also picked out a video monitor, which I think I'm going to love. Who couldn't love something that you can walk around the house with and look down and see your sleeping baby at any time. Wow, I love how technology has brought so many neat new things to parenthood. So here are a few of Harper's new clothes and her new video monitor.

Pink Video Monitor:

This one I could not walk away from, Pink Tutu Swimsuit and Shades.



I love the Kimono style outfits.

MORE PINK....




I love the gowns and they are so hard to find. I have only been able to find a few.
These little Sandals my friend Melissa sent to me from Denver. Thanks Mel..

This smocked dress,and Pink lace outfit are from Aunt Jenn , Uncle Heath and boys. So sweet. I'm thinking a PHOTO OP is needed for both .

And just a few more fun ones. Mom brought me the shoes with flowers , they are so cute we might have to even sleep in them. JUST KIDDING..

Sorry its such a long post but trust me its only a few things in the closet that's already full. Hope you love it all as much as I do. We cant wait to see a little someone in all of it this summer.

Port O Conner Mini Vaca

Its been such a nice week, we decided since I had a week off that I would come down with Brad to Port O Conner to hang out as he worked. It had been months since I had been able to come down, with the holidays and all the baby appointments and working , time has flown by. So we loaded up and I mean loaded to the TOP because Brad had to bring down some flooring and headed to the coast. Mom met us in Dallas and drove down with us too. I needed some company of course while Brad was at work. We also decided to bring down the dogs, which we had never done in the past. THEY love it. Emma loves water and sand and its been nice to let them go with out leashes . Its so beautiful out here and relaxing, at home I always feel like there is something that can be done. Mom and I worked on a sewing project, which ended up being a ton of laughs but finally complete. We made Harper a Buggy seat for when you go to the grocery store. Its cute and now we have the hang of it so maybe next time it wont take us FOREVER. Also this week has been so nice to be able to get up like a normal person in the morning , take Brad to work , cook lunch , go to the pool , and then cook dinner and watch t.v. Wow I would make the best house wife :) So anyways, just thought I would post a few pics from the week and show off Brads latest house . I am so proud of Brad and how Palmtree Resort Properties is coming along. And also I posted a picture of The Grady White, which we are looking forward to taking out this summer. Harper already has a bathing suit...

Pink, Pink and More Pink

So as you know, we went for our 20 week sono on Monday at about 4 p.m. and were so anxious to see our little one again. It had been so long since we had been able to sneak a peek at how much the baby had grown. I was so nervous and Brad was so laid back as usual, of course I was more concerned with the health of the baby then the gender. That part was just a perk. I think it was the NICU in me that had me all in a mess. But the sono went well and everything looked great so far. We had the sono lady video tape it so the family could see this sono and of coarse we had to record it to VHS , which was a funny story. Wow, those are hard to find these days, but Cheri is going to help us convert it over to DVD so thats exciting. We told the lady how we had been having an overwhelming vote towards GIRL from friends and family and She looked at us and said , Well they are RIGHT because I've been seeing GIRL parts this whole time. We laughed and were really excited to be able to refer to the baby as a girl .. So now the shopping offically begins even though I have been doing a little anyways:) , who can resist? But there are lots of Bows and Pink in the Warren House Future.. So here , as I promised, are some new pictures of what we call HARPER'S GLAMOUR SHOTS and of coarse one updated Belly Shot. The funny part is we never had a hard time agreeing on a girls name. WONDER WHY?? :)

So here she is,

We are so excited and cannot wait to meet this little girl already. Hope everyone is having a blessed week as we are.

Week 19

Just thought I would drop a few lines to update everyone on whats going on in the Warren Household. Brad has been home since the holidays and he has started back working away this week . It was hard for me as I have been enjoying having him around so much. We have done quite abit around the house the last few days. We finally decided on which room in the house we would use as a nursery. And we are going to do a little construction in the room before getting it ready for our little guy or girl. So we moved most of the stuff out and rearranged most of it in the house. Also I have been on some kind of cleaning stretch because over the weekend almost every pantry, closet or cabinet was cleaned and organized. So with work being slow and getting cancelled tonight , I plan on finishing up with our bedroom closet.. What a task that will be. On a pregnacy note, as of last week the morning sickness seems to have packed its bags and moved on. WHAT A RELIEF... Food actually looks good and I can tell that I am actually hungry more now. I have been asked quite a few times for some tummy pictures, so I have a 14 week picture that I will post and I promise that next week I will post a 2o week belly picture and sono picture as well. We are finally going Monday the 18th for the big Sono that will hopefully tell us the gender. I am so anxious, and looking forward to being able to put a name and a gender to the little person that I now feel moving around at times when I am still at night. Plus there is a room full of stuff already that everyone has givin us that will need to be exchanged one way or the other. So I hope that 2010 brings lots of Blessings for everyone as it has for us so far this year. And we promise to keep everyone posted on the BIG NEWS.

White Christmas 2009

It's been a while since I have had the chance to blog, holidays are so busy.We spent the first part of our Christmas in Houston, Tx visiting with Dad and Kelly. We had fun and actually were able to take some family pictures in which I cant wait to order. Then I worked the first part of Christmas week and by chance my name was drawn out of a hat to be cancelled on Christmas Eve. I was actually picked as number 1 cancel which is so awesome considering its been 6 years since I have had a Christmas holiday off. I feel so fortunate to have had the whole holiday off even if it was last minute.

We opened our gifts at the house and then Michael was able to come up and we went to the Warren's house for dinner and the last part of our Christmas. We had so many gifts the floor was covered. Even baby Warren had a few gifts over the holidays. I think the best part of Christmas this year ,other than actually being off was the WHITE CHRISTMAS. It snowed all day and the ground was covered before we went to bed.. It was really fun to wake up to a white christmas even if it didnt last long. Tomarrow we head to Henderson to visit with my grandparents and hang up mom's new t.v. and also to pick up my grandmothers family piano. My uncle has had it for years and was wanting to get rid of it , so we gladly took it in . Its been in our family for over 80 years. It needs lots of love but we cant wait to work on it and fix it up. Who knows I may even learn how to play. Well I hope everyone has had a great and blessed Christmas . I can't believe its almost 2010, and the start to one of our most exciting years yet . I have a doctors appointment next Tuesday so i will keep everyone posted , we should be finding out the sex of the baby soon. Even though i buy stuff all the time these days. Here are a few fun pictures from the holidays.

"ICE" in Grapevine,Tx

Ice: 12-7-2009

Today we decided to get up and drive to Grapevine to the Gaylord Hotel and go to the ice exhibit. So mom, brad and I had breakfast and drove out there in the nasty cold weather ! The exhibit it only 9 degrees in tempeture but they give you special coats to wear. I wish we would have thought about it because the only thing we were missing were GLOVES... I researched and it takes about one month to complete the exhibit but with 40 men from China working in 12 hour rotating shifts and two million pounds of ice. Wow , what a job if you ask me. It take one ice factory three weeks to make and ship all the ice to the exhibit . The only thing I wish I would have asked , is what happens to all the ice after the exhibits over? Maybe we will go again next year and I can ask. So if you have a chance to take your family , you should go. Kids would love this. The whole time I was thinking hopefully soon , Brad and I will have our first child to be able to take to these fun things. The whole exhibit is based around Dr. Seuss"How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

Mom and I before we went in to the exhibit.

13 week Update!

Just a quick update on Baby Warren...

Things are moving right along, we went back to have our Nuchal done, since the baby wasn't in correct position the first time, and things went really well. So far everything remains on track and looks good. We were able to get some better pictures , which i was really excited about, because the ones in the past were harder to identify the baby on. I also went to my regular appointment this past week as well, and everything was great there. Still remain below pre-pregancy weight by alittle but im hoping to feel better soon and catch that up. :) I thought this was going to be one of those times i could gain weight without question.... Baby warren has other plans... We were able to doppler the babies heart rate for the first time and it was 157 as normal . It seems to always be 155-160. I also got my Swine Flu vaccine. I had been really going back and forth with the vaccine idea, but the doctor really felt i was High Risk working in the hospital and working with children. So here are the most recent pictures of little Baby Warren.

This one is a head shot from behind , showing how the baby was trying to clasp its hands together.
