Harper Leslie is here....

Harper Leslie is here. She was born Friday at 12:57pm. She was a little chunky monkey just like I expected. She weighed a whopping 9lbs. 80z. and was 21 inches long! She didnt really look that big but that is what the scale read. haha!

Big Sister Henley just loves her and is always wanting to help!

By this point I was ready to get up and walk out of the hospital. I felt great. A planned C-Section is the way to go. I even got released a day early from the hospital! I was so happy to be home.

Just had to post the pic of her chubby cheeks. I know the pic is a little gross, but i love the cheeks. I will post more and give more details when i have a little more time. Gotta go for now. Thanks for all of your prayers!

wow.....its getting really close

Tomorrow is my last official day of work for 9 weeks. I am so excited about this!
I will have the first part of next week to myself to get everything perfect for Harper's arrival.
I did go to the doctor this week and had lost a little more weight but my doctor wasn't concerned at all. He said and I quote " I am not worried about your weight, this baby is enormous" Sort of scary I know. I just pray she is healthy....that is all I care about. I am still predicting she will weigh about 9lb 4oz! I am so excited to meet Harper and see what color hair she has. I dont know why that is such a huge deal to me, but its killing me not knowing if she is going to be red headed or not. I guess because....every single day somebody makes a comment about how beautiful Henley's hair is and I am just afraid Harper will have boring brown hair and will never get comments like that. I know...I know....its crazy!

Please keep us in your prayers for next Friday!

The date is set....

Well the date is finally set. Harper Leslie will be joining us on Friday, August 21st around 12:30!
My prediction is she will weigh a whopping 9lbs 4oz when she gets here. Alana is guessing 9lbs 7oz. Anyone else want to make a prediction?

I will be perfectly okay with her coming on her own earlier but please pray that my water doesn't break in pulic....that is a huge fear of mine!

The nursery is complete!

This is all the girls! Thanks so much for being such wonderful friends....i love you all!

I must give props to all the peps that contributed to the room decor. Adams mom made the curtain, basket liners, and pillow. Adam hand crafted the letters on the wall. I painted the canvas pictures hanging on the wall. I know one is better than the other one.....it was getting really late one night while I was painting them.

Eli is so stinking cute. I couldn't resist not putting this pic up. Henley wouldn't be still long enough to get a good pic of her.

Well, I had a very long weekend. I was so tired.....not to mention swollen feet. Yes, I had cankles this weekend. Joys of being pregnant. It started on Thursday night when a group of people from church gave me a small shower. (I carried Henley and that is what wore me out) Friday we celebrated Adam's Dad's 60th birthday. On Saturday, my wonderful friends gave me a small baby shower and it was perfect. I got so many cute things. After the shower, my helpers with decorating came over and we pretty much finished up the nursery. The only thing I like doing is painting the table that the lamp is sitting on. I just didnt have it in me this weekend. haha!

Oh and no the doctors office still hasn't called to confirm the date and time. I go first thing in the morning so I will be sure not to leave until i have CONFIRMATION!

6lbs. 12oz. and 3 weeks to go!

The ultrasound showed us today that Harper is weighing a whopping 6lbs and 12 oz. That is almost 7 pounds and I have 3 more weeks to go. He will be scheduling my c-section at 38 weeks! He said we are shooting for August 17th but he will have a nurse call and confirm the date and time after she checks the schedule.



The nurse today also switched it over to the 4D ultrasound so we could get a better look at her. Oh my......it looks like she is storing a golf ball in each cheek! They are so chubby and sweet. She looks a lot like Henley to me from the ultrasound. I dont think she is going to have as much hair as Henley did, but we will see. I tried to upload the pics that I scanned but it would not work. Sorry! Keep us in your prayers.....3 weeks is just a skip and a hop away!

Harper Leslie update...

Well I think Harper is ready to come out and meet her mommy, daddy, and big sister. Every time she moves, I want to cry. I feel like she has nowhere to go. haha! I went to the Doctor last week and he told me my stomach was measuring 36 weeks when I was only 33 weeks. Can we say big baby?? I go Tuesday for my ultrasound and for Dr. Stone to schedule the C-section. Oh I am so excited!!!! I am so ready not to be pregnant anymore! We almost have the room finished so I can post some pictures.

What's going on in Henley's world......Well one of her two fish committed suicide the other night while in a smaller bowl because her big bowl was leaking. Being sneaky parents that we are....had her a new fish bowl and put the 1 fish back in her room on the night stand hoping she wouldnt even notice. What were we thinking? Yesterday evening she noticed her new fish bowl and also noticed there was only one fish in there. She wanted to know where it went! She is currently waiting on it to come back home. She thinks it ran away like our black dog Vestal. Thank goodness she wasn't upset about the fish. She was just so funny talking about it running away. haha!

One more funny story....Henley is taking a bath....Adam has to go peepee....he swears his back was to her and she says "Daddy your hiney (spelling?) looks just like a tail" oh my.....think about it for a minute....you'll catch on!

She's too cute for her own good...

oh my.....my little girl is getting so big. Her Aunt Kelcy bought her a new outfit and fixed her hair different. Of course i thought it was a picture worthy event. She was really showing out for me. I think they are precious! The pics were taken on my moms front porch!
