I started this blog to share my pregnancy with those closest to me that I never really get to see & wish I could. Now that Harper is here, I've just decided to continue it & share a little of our family with everyone.

Any Day Now....


Only ten days left until the "due" date ~ but I have said for probably six months now that I think she will be here the 21st, which is this Thursday ~ so we'll see. My anxiety has the best of me, though, and I'm tired of waiting. I still love being pregnant ~ feeling her getting bigger every single day has just been amazing. But I'm ready for her to be here and to see her!
Obviously from the photo I had another ultrasound ~ I went to the doctor Friday {the 15th} for my weekly checkup. The doctor was a little concerned because I had lost 1/2 a pound and my fundal height was the exact same as it had been the previous week, so he wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure Harper was still growing and that I had not lost any fluid. Fortunately everything checked out and she & her surroundings looked wonderful, so that was a huge relief. The picture I got of her is not all that great ~ but you can see her right eye really well {you may have to tilt your head to the right a little bit if you can't make it out}. The weird thing is how strange baby's noses look in an ultrasound the further you get along!! The ultrasounds make them look like little pig snouts, but I promise you it does not really look that funny! But we were able to see her eyelashes!! And she has some hair ~ not a whole lot, but some ~ just seeing it on there was amazing.
I promise we will do our best to let all of you know as soon as we can when she gets here. Okay, I will not personally be calling you, but someone will! Just keep us in your prayers ~ we definitely appreciate all of them.
