5 months!



This past month was pretty exciting as far as getting to see more and more of Miss. Harper's personality come out. She's a funny girl! Makes me laugh daily. She also continues to add things to her "resume" as she is able to do more! ;) She is sitting up so well on her own and when her head does get a bit to heavy she will just go ahead and play with her toes. She keeps herself entertained. :P

Sleep has been SOOO much better this past month as well. I forgot to write about her sleep in the last post, but that's probably because we weren't getting any! I am thankful that she is finally sleeping better. Not every night is great but even the bad nights are better then what we were dealing with the two months prior. I think it helps that I have stopped bringing her back into our room in the middle of the night when she wakes up. I just feed her in her room then put her back in her crib, no matter how tired I am. We all sleep more soundly this way.
She is still not rolling over consistently but she is getting really close. She likes to hang out on her side. :)
 I have been reading her a lot of Dr.Suess lately and she loves it. She will watch me as I read and then will look back at the book and start moving her lips like shes talking but says nothing. She's mimicking me and it is the most adorable thing! I couldn't be more proud of my little one and I am really looking forward to all the new things she may do this month
Weight: 15lbs
Diapers: She is finally in size 2's! They may be a bit loose though because we have had at least 3 blowouts since we have switched over. Fun stuff!
Clothes: 3 month stuff is getting tight but is still wearable. She wears a lot of her 3-6 size things. A lot of her 6 month clothing is spring/summer though so I'm really hoping she will still fit into it by the time this weather cleans up its act and gets warm, lol.
Food: Mostly mommies milk. Our evening routine now includes a tablespoon or so of baby oatmeal and then about 4-5 ounces of formula. Now that she sits in her highchair I have really been enjoying our family dinner time. I grew up always eating dinner as a family and I plan on continuing this as a priority. <3



Creepy! haha Totally on purpose of course lol

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...

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 ...
