Slept through the night - fo' real!



Harper has been technically sleeping through the night already. Giving us about 10-15 hours total of sleep but that included one to two wake ups/feeds. Well last night she slept through the whole night solid! I'm actually probably jinksing myself as I write this because she's still asleep and we are 30 minutes shy of the 12 hour mark. If my body weren't completely uncomfortable holding so much Milk, I would still be sleeping soundly, but it is what it is and I feel super refreshed none the less! 
Thank you beautiful Harper!! 
Mommy loves you <3

(March 25) Update:
Alright so after this 13 hour night things got a bit rocky for the next few nights again. But then something happened on Friday March 21. I made a choice to just see what happened if we let her cry it out for a few min at a time. So we waited 10min at first then went back in and replaced her paci. Right as Tyler was leaving the room she knocked the paci out and started crying again. I decided to see what would happen of we didn't replace the paci. So we waited 12 min then I went in and just soothed her by talking quietly to her and rubbing her head for a few min then left even tho she was still crying. After about another 20 min of fussing she found her thumb and then was out for the whole night! 13 hours! And we just had our fourth consecutive 13 hour night! I'm thrilled. :-) Who knew that something as simple as getting rid of the paci would help us all sleep better. Parenting is such a fun adventure. :-)

23 weeks and McClure Wedding fun!

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 ...
