the third trimester

Yes, we are in the 29th week now, and I had my monthly doctors appointment today. It was a fast one, lil Harper is growing great and I'm measuring perfect. BUT I only gained 1 pound all month, and my lovely doctor says,"you need to gain more weight. I don't want to see this again." hmmm, I'm not too worried about it though, because I have 11 weeks left and I know she's only gonna get bigger. So, I'll eat more frequently, but I'm not gonna go overboard. I think I've done a good job considering how sick I was until the 18th week. I didn't expect to gain a lot, but 1 pound was a little shocking. Other than the lecture from my doctor, all is well. I start my every 2 weeks doctors visit now. It's not much longer!!

aaahhhh

SO, we finally finished the room. Well, pretty much finished it. We are going to hang some shelves, and put up some more pictures. But its done! Let me tell you how hard we worked on this room. Jeremy did all the detailed painting, including painting the trees FREEHAND, and I did almost all of the main painting. I think I win, because I did more and I'm pregnant:) I'm so happy with how it all turned out! I wanted to put up just a few pics to show our hard work!
Ok, so I am DEFINITELY looking pregnant now. I have my monthly doctors appt tomorrow and I'm wondering how much weight I've gained. Not that I really care:) I can't believe there is only 11 weeks left til miss Harper is supposed to make her arrival.  I really hope I don't go 40 weeks. With Mckayla I was 1o days late!!!! The torture! So, once week 37 comes, I'm gonna start trying to get the process started.  

Mckayla is getting more excited about Harper's arrival too and the idea of being a big sis. At night, we'll lay on the couch together and watch how much my tummy moves. Mckayla loves it and we are both amazed at how big the little girl is getting. I hope the transition of being the only child goes smoothly for Mckayla....

Other than getting everything ready for Harper, we haven't been doing much else. I think me and Mckayla are gonna take a trip to Michael's next week to stock up on some crafts to do this summer. We will have a whole 8 weeks alone together when she is out of school, and I want to make sure I spend plenty of time with her. She's been my 'only' for 6 years. 

OK, I guess thats all for now. I don't really know if anyone reads this, but I'm still gonna post.:)

my first post

I decided to create this blog because I need somewhere to write. I think I'm taking a break from all my journals and notebooks. Plus, they are taking up space in my house. So, here we go...

So, most know I am pregnant. 7 months pregnant with another little girl named Harper Jo. I am getting more and more excited about her arrival. I am also a little anxious because for the last 6 six years, its been me, Jeremy, and Mckayla. So, I guess Im most nervous about everyone adjusting to another baby. I'll have 2 kids. Wow. But other than that, I know this is such a blessing and I know God's timing is everything. I wanted another baby for so long, and He finally answered my prayer. And it really is the perfect time. Only 3 months left!

Anyways, I am not working anymore so I have alot of time on my hands. I hope I get a creative break. I really need that. I haven't written as much lately. Mainly because I feel like I dont have anything to write about. Im having a major block. And "my book" is just staring at me with empty pages. I'm trying to get school going once Harper is here. Then maybe I'll feel like I'm doing more. OK, well, I will post pics and other good stuff later. Just wanted to get this started....

God bless!
