24 Weeks

At 24 weeks pregnant, the baby has grown to over one pound (an estimated 1.3 pounds in total). She is roughly 11.8 inches from the top of her head to her toes - about the size of an ear of corn!  Here is a belly shot!  I'm definitely getting bigger (if you click on the pictures, you can see it actual size)!!



She moves around constantly and she really loves music.  Nana & Poppy got her a lullaby CD that Rudi put on the iPod.  I play it for her with earphones sometimes at night and she moves around like crazy.  Today, Ashley, Dad, & I were at a Jazz & Blues festival and she was dancing!  Everyone got to feel her moving around.  It was fun!  

She is definitely already very spoiled and will be the best dressed girl on the block!! Here are some of her outfits she's received from Nana & Poppy, Grandma Marti, and some friends! TOO CUTE!!


Her dad also got her a Cheer Bear - her first stuffed animal.  I love it, especially because we had these as kids!!  


We are so excited for little Harper to arrive!  I went with my friend Carmen to Buy Buy Baby, so she could help me register.  It was so difficult to figure out what the heck to get because there are so many options.  She was MORE than helpful and showed me there is a method to the madness.  It was so much fun to go in there with her and actually see what I need, what I don't, what I should get, etc.  We also picked out the bedding, so we can start planning the baby room!  I decided to paint the walls tan and do big, thick stripes the color of the bedding on the main wall that the crib will be in front of.  I will do white accents with curtains, lamps, etc.  My girly touch (I think) is going to be a chandelier!!  We need to start cleaning out the office, so we can start making it her room!  SO FUN!!  Here is the color scheme!


We have a lot to look forward to and it is happening very quickly!  We are looking forward to going to the lake over 4th of July to spend time with the Curl & Evans families & Marti is coming to visit in July, too!  Mom, Shelley, Ashley, & Ryleigh are planning a shower at the end of July!  I think we may paint the baby's room the first or second weekend in August.  Then Court, Carmen, & Mauri are having a couples shower September 11th!  Where is the time going??  I can't believe she is almost here!!  YAY!!


Until next time!!
