Waiting for Harper

So after my doctor's appointment last week where the doctor said he wouldn't be surprised if my water broke before my appointment this week, we have gone into overdrive getting ready for Harper's arrival. I spent the next couple of days washing everything, cleaning the house, praying for our last minute orders to arrive and setting up the "nursery" (I use quotes because living in corporate housing has limited what we can do). I guess the nesting/panic stage hit hard. I think we are now finally ready. The carseat has even been installed in the car...might have been 10pm the night we installed it, but at least it's in!!

Now that everything is ready, we can't wait for her arrival. The doctor should have never told us she may come early because now she can't come fast enough!

Here is the current belly picture and some shots of our attempts at creating a special place for her:

38 Weeks. Come out Harper!!

Since we moved to the D.C. area at the beginning of September, John and I have tried to do our best to soak in the local scenery. Over Labor Day, John and I spent the day around the Mall area and checking out the Museum of Natural History. Here are a couple pictures from that day:

We then had a great visit with John's parents a few weeks later. They drove up from South Carolina with a truck full of the goodies we received at our baby showers back in July. It was like Christmas rediscovering all the fun gifts everyone had given us! We also spent more time visiting the city.
