28 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 28 Weeks

Size of baby: An English Hothouse Cucumber

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 21lbs...ugh! :-(

Maternity Clothes: Well since it has been in the upper 70's-90's here recently I am in all Maternity clothes, my tanks/shirts are getting a little to short

Gender: GIRL!!! Harper Jane Horton

Movement: Yep! She is moving more and more. I would like to take this time to thank her for not punching me in the stomach, ribs or bladder...it just feels like flutter.

Sleep: I'm currently sleeping very comfortably. Stay tuned...apparently that changes!

What I miss: My ankles being normal size

Cravings: Pretty much anything

Symptoms: Let the list begin...

1. Reflux

2. Acne

3. Carpal Tunnel in my right hand

4. My ankles started to swell on Friday when it got very hot here

5. VERY oily face

6. My BP is high, so the Dr. wants to check it again next week

Best Moment this week: Getting to drink the wonderful drink they provide for you for you Glucose test...NOT!!!

One busy week!

What a whirlwind the last 7 days have been! The best way to show you is...PICTURES!

SUNDAY

Happy Easter! Next year we will be egg hunting with Harper!

MONDAY

The ladies at work through me our first baby shower! I was so fun to see all the things we are going to need for this tiny person!! Michael and I are beyond blessed with all the people we have in our lives and are supporting us as we entering this new chapter in our lives.

Harper is one spoiled little girl!!

TUESDAY

Michael turned 30!! Being the wonderful wife :) that I am, I took birthday donuts and birthday cake up to his office for a little office party! His co-workers were very grateful for the sweet treats, needless to say...Michael came home with an empty cake platter. :(

WEDNESDAY

27 Weeks! WOO HOO!! I am feeling FANTASTIC!! I went to the Doctor a little over a week ago and I have only gained 13 pounds. Which she says is great! Harper on the other hand is a wittle bitty thing! I think she may be little like her daddy was when he was born (which I can tell you thrills me!) :)

SATURDAY

We had a birthday party for Michael to celebrate him turing the BIG 3-0 and to show off his pride and joy...the deck!

It is so funny to me because I know some couples who stay by each other the whole time they are at a social event. But Michael and I are NOT one of those couples! Michael knows how to work a room, he can mingle and chat it up with the best of them.

Singing Happy Birthday to Michael! The little bit he is holding is what I pray Harper is like. Chloe 100% absolutely adores Michael! She would choose him over me ANY day (which breaks my heart sometimes) but she loves her some Michael. She wanted soo bad to blow out the candles, so Michael being the great man he is...let her!

One (of the many) things I am thankful for is he friends Michael has made at work.

Hope everyone had a wonderfully busy week/end like we did!

Prideful

Michael is finally done with the deck! The only thing we are missing is patio furniture, so if you have any unwanted Target gift cards you can send them our way! :)

I am soo proud of Michael! He has really wanted a deck since we moved in 2 years ago and I just said "Okay honey, whatever you want!" Well I have to say I am blown away at what he did ALL ON HIS OWN!

We put up Tiki Torches with Citronella oil in hopes to keep the 'skeeters away! We lit them just to get the full effect.

A small project occured (well 2, one is a work in progress...stay tuned!) while I was out on the deck friday morning. We have 2 trees that have survived the last year and we wanted to perk them up! So we took yet another trip to Lowe's to pick out some bricking and rocks. I think it looks really good!

Before...

After...

We are ready to break the deck in next Saturday at Michael's 30th Birthday Party!!

Summer is in our sights

I am ready for summer, so I can sit on this....

Talking to Michael about how our lives are about to change and we can sit out on our deck that Michael has put his sweat and hard work into for months, with our precious baby girl.

I am very proud of Michael and how he has seen this project thru, even though it may have cost a little bit more than we budgeted for, but there is nothing better than seeing the pride in your husbands eyes as he sees his hard work paying off!
