Then Two Became Three and then finally Four

30 Weeks! 10 to go :) Since I worked yesterday, had to take my own picture this week :-)  I can't believe that we only have 10 weeks, give or take, until we get to meet our beautiful baby girl! <3 I feel like I really should be more prepared for her arrival because realistically she could come at any time lol but there is still lots to do! However, we are slowly but surely getting there. Plus, we have a few baby showers coming up in August and September so I'm sure I'll feel more prepared after those as well.  Size :    Your belly’s increasing size is a definite clue that your baby is getting bigger every day, weighing in at over three pounds now (she’ll be packing on the weight at a rate of half a pound per week for the next seven weeks). Also growing daily is her brain, which is actually starting to look like the real thing with those characteristic grooves and wrinkles. And now that your little genius can regulate her own body temperature an...

29 Weeks  Here is the teaser from our photoshoot! :) Thank you Terra! & Love you Tyler and Harper! <3 As Harper's arrival gets closer with each and every day it all becomes more and more real and I really couldn't be more excited to meet our baby girl! Its amazing how in love you can be with someone you haven't even met yet but I am definitely head over heals for her already. <3 When I do find myself having lots of overwhelming pregnancy worries and nerves I just remind my self that God is in control and that is the most comforting thing. :)   Jeremiah 29:11  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)  Size :    This week Harper weighs approximately three pounds and measures about 17 inches. Although she has pretty much reached her birth length, she still has to chub up a bit...or hopefully a lot ;) I love chubby babies! ha...

28 Weeks   Size :   Harper is settling into the proper position for birth this week, with her head facing downward. She is now about 2.5 pounds and measures about 16 inches. :) She is busy adding new skills such as blinking to her already learned skills like coughing,sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. Her sleep now includes the REM phase, which means that she could be dreaming already!   Total weight gain/loss:   I have gained a total of 18 pounds so far. Maternity clothes:   Still wearing what ever fits. Trying my hardest not to buy any more clothes! Although it has become less tempting to shop because this is a really hard body to shop for these days. It's all good for the wallet. :) Gender:   Girl, Harper Patrica <3     Movement :  We've got a little night owl on our hands! She is most active right as I am trying to fall asleep,of course,and through out the night I'll wake up to her kicking my fu...

27 weeks          Phew! What a weekend of nerves. As I stated in my last post, I had my glucose test this past Saturday. My nerves have been on edge until this evening when I got the results. I PASSED! I am super thrilled about this because the idea of doing the 3 our glucose tolerance test sounded pretty miserable to me.  My 1 hour test was quite interesting to say the least. Tyler and I arrived at the lab around 7:45 Saturday morning and they called me back right away to fill out paper work and to drink the orange sugar drink. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, but I do have quite a sweet tooth so that may have been why. It just tasted like flat orange soda. To be honest, the OJ that I had at breakfast after the test was much sweeter to the point where even I had trouble drinking it! Anyways, I was feeling pretty good after I drank the drink and was thinking that this was going to be pretty easy! Then about 45-50 min in, I s...
