Random Photos

Not much to update. We had a good 2-week doctor's appointment. Harper has gained all her weight back plus some. She was at 6lb 15oz on Monday. As long as she continues to be healthy, we won't go back until August when I'll take both girls in for their shots (I'll need lots of prayers that day!). Hadleigh continues to adjust. She constantly wants to know where Harper is and what she is doing. I can hear her asking about her when she first wakes up in the morning (Christian has been getting Hadleigh up for school) and she is so thrilled when Harper comes to pick her up in the afternoons. She really has been sweet for the most part. I am ready, though, for the day when I can take my eyes off Hadleigh when she is around Harper.
Here are random photos from the week. I've been working on the announcements, so I've had a camera with me at all times and have taken lots of photos that didn't make the cut. Thank goodness for digital cameras!

Harper is crying because someone just ripped the blanket out from under her....hmmm, wonder who?

On our own...

Well, we are still surviving. Gammy and Pops left Saturday morning, so we officially made it 2 days on our own! Hadleigh is doing better and better each day, but we still have to keep a very close eye on her around Harper. She requires lots of extra attention lately, but she is learning to entertain herself a little. Her timing is impeccable...it seems like just as I sit down to feed Harper, Hadleigh wakes up from her nap. She has also decided she wants to potty train herself. All of a sudden she is taking off her pants and asking to go to the potty. Of course, I usually have my hands full with Harper at the time, so that's been fun. So far, she has had 3 successful visits to the potty and all this without any prompting from us. My plan was NOT to potty train until I got a handle on life with 2 kids...I guess Hadleigh has a different opinion.
Harper is doing wonderfully. For the most part, she is eating every 2.5 to 3 hours and sleeps great all day. Nights are still unpredictable, but the past 2 nights, we have made it without using the swing. She is still a very quiet little one which we are very thankful for.
Here are pictures from the week.

Trying to get a picture of Hadleigh holding Harper is a near impossible task we're still working on

In the midst of all our changes, we decided to switch Hadleigh to her big girl bed. So far she is doing great and hasn't figured out how to get out on her own. She did get very upset today though when I put Harper in her crib for a few minutes...apparently Hadleigh is having a difficult time letting go of her old bed.

Introducing...

Harper Caroline

Harper made her debut into this world on Tuesday, June 9th at 10.57pm. She weighed 6lbs12oz and was 20.5" long. I started having contractions at 6am Tuesday morning, but they were never very regular. I hit Walmart one last time, vacuumed the house, then took a walk around the block. Sure enough, my water broke at 6pm, so we headed to the hospital. Thankfully I got my epidural fairly quickly and from then on out everything sped right along. She was definitely ready to make her appearance!
Hadleigh is adjusting to being a big sister more and more everyday. The first few days were very rough on her. Luckily, Gammy and Pops are here to give her lots of attention. Harper is a pretty chill baby for the most part. She still sleeps most of the day and on and off at night. She had her first doctors visit today and looks great.
Enjoy the pictures of our newest family member!

(This is me 2 days before the big day---sorry I never posted pregnant shots prior to now)
