Harper's 2 months

Warning - sappy mommy words to follow:
 ;-)

It's hard to believe that just a little over two months ago, I was sitting here very pregnant and thinking that Harper was never coming out haha She was only nine days "late" but those last few weeks and then days past my due date felt soooo long. I absolutely loved being pregnant but I was so very ready to meet our baby girl. Now she's two months old and growing so fast! I am loving motherhood and how it's one of the most challenging and exhausting yet most wonderful and awarding experiences that I have ever been through and it is only the very beginning! :-D I love the feeling of knowing that this is exactly where God wants me to be right now and I am so blessed and thankful for my wonderful hubby who also works hard so that I am able to stay home and raise our baby girl.

Happy two months baby girl!! We love you!!


I will be doing another update after her doctors appointment on Friday but here are some updates now. She's getting her shots on Friday the 13th, so I'm sure it will be quite the adventure. :-(

Weight: 11 lbs

Diapers: Size one

Clothes: 0-3 and some 3 MO things fit her fairly well :-( She literally grew over night!

Sleep: Ever since we tried swaddling her again, and she liked it, we have been getting more sleep! Her longest stretch has been 7.5 hours and her average is about 4-6 hours every night now. Thank you baby girl!! She currently sleeps in her pack n play napper.

Eating: Mommies milk on demand but usually its about every 1.5-2 hours during the day.

Play/learn: She isn't really playing with any of her toys yet, obviously, but she will get a pretty tight grip on them with her little hands. She also loves mirrors, lights and other shiny things. In the morning I will prop her up on a pillow next to me in bed and she will just stare at the ceiling fan for like half an hour or so. So easily entertained. :-P

Exciting milestones and moments:

  • "Talking" a lot more now. 
  • She is following objects with her eyes very well. 
  • She has had super strong legs, since birth really, and likes to stand on them. 
  • Her smiles have much purpose and meaning to them now and they never ever get old!! :-D 
  • She witnessed her first snow/ice....seemed curious but not to excited. 
  • Her first Thanksgiving was great! And we were excited to have her Great Aunt and Uncle Benton from Tennessee come visit. :-) 


  • Also this month, she met the girls I nannied for, Grace and Hannah! I think Grace thought that Harper was going to come out ready to play, so hopefully they will get to hang out lots more in the future, once Harper is more exciting, haha. :-)

23 weeks and McClure Wedding fun!

Image
This weekend was our friends, James and Kristin's, wedding! They are finally MARRIED and I am so excited for them. :) It was such a beautiful and fun wedding and everything turned out so great! They are such a beautiful couple inside and out and I hope they are enjoying their much deserved honeymoon in Hawaii! Love you guys!                                                 23 Weeks <3 Size:  Your little doll-sized babe is about to chub up a bit. Her saggy skin will start to fit her frame as fat deposits fill things out. Beginning this week, she'll start to pack on the pounds (which means you will too!) and by month's end she'll be double the weight she is now (though you won't be — whew!). Right now, your baby's organs and bones are visible through her skin, which has a red hue due to developing veins and arteries beneath. But once those fat deposits s...

14 Weeks

I wasn't sure if I was going to do a weekly update or not but I think it would be fun for the sake of me getting to look back on this super awesome adventure. ;) Also, I have always enjoyed reading blogs and keeping up in peoples lives, so for those who would like to stay informed about whats going on in my pregnancy/life in general, this is for you too!  Baby bump at 14 weeks Size : Baby is about the size of a lemon. 3 1/2 inches. Total weight gain/loss: The numbers are starting to creep up a little bit each week. :) It is sooo nice having an appetite again but now I want to eat all the time! The goal, though, is that slow and steady wins the race. I read that I should be gaining at least a pound a week since I was a normal weight pre-pregnancy.  Maternity clothes: I'm in that annoying stage where my old clothes are starting to get a bit too snug but most maternity clothes are way too loose. So I have been wearing a lot of legging and t-shirts for the time being. :)...

26 weeks I've got the 'smuggling a melon' look going :) Size : I'm not feeling lazy today so I will actually talk about Harper's developments this week instead of just copying and pasting. ;) This week she has hit the TWO pound mark! And she measures about 9 plus inches. Her eyes are beginning to open this week as well! Although there's not much for her to look at in my womb, she moves more if she senses light (or hears loud noises). I actually just went to a movie and she was moving like crazy through most of it. Now I know why! It was noisy :) All this responsiveness is connected to the fact that her brain is more developed and sophisticated at this point! Yay!  Total weight gain/loss: Things have been staying pretty steady this past week. Maybe I need to eat more? haha I can totally work with that!  Maternity clothes:   I am wearing a lot of the same things over and over again due to the limited amount of things that will fit. It ...
