Sorry we haven’t been writing much lately, but we have been using every available weekend (and some weeknights) to get Harper’s room ready for her arrival.  We still have one project that needs some work and then we’ll be ready to show the basic layout of the room.  The decorations are probably not final, but the layout and furniture probably are, so you’ll at least get a good idea of how things will look.  It’s coming together nicely, I must say.

Andrea is now seeing her doctor every two weeks in an effort to monitor her progress.  Thus far everything looks great, so we really can’t complain.  We’re just ready for our little girl to get here.  It’s amazing how 9 months - almost a full year - seems like such a long time when you’re not expecting.  But now, 7 months have flown past and this last bit of the journey that we’re on now - only 10 more weeks to go -  seem to be crawling by.  I don’t think either one of us has ever been so anxious and excited in our lives.

So, keep checking back and I’ll make sure we get those nursery pictures up sometime this week.

Yes, it’s me Andrea. I’m actually posting for once… and if you listen to my husband, he’ll tell you that he’s shocked to find out I’m participating in my daughter’s upbringing. Apparently, he plans on bringing her up via blog. She’s going to need internet access to know if she’s grounded or not. We’ll see how that goes.

Anyhow, enough about Rob’s snarky comments. Today we had our 3D ultrasound. If you’ve never seen one of these, they are simply amazing. It’s unbelievable that the technology is around that allows me to see my daughter in almost scary detail, when she’s just 27 weeks along.

Here you will see little Harper giving us what appears to be a smile. You can also see a foot in the picture, because apparently we all start out as major contortionists. She’s in a breech position right now, which means that her head is upward and her little butt is down. This doesn’t mean her legs are down near said butt though, as we found out. She’s bent herself into a comfy little pretzel.

We’re in the home stretch now. I’m officially in the 3rd trimester. We’re excited about getting closer and closer to meeting our little girl in person. Photos and ultrasounds can only take us so far……..(Extra periods in the ellipse are added to annoy my husband) but video does help, as we were pleasantly surprised to find out.

For now, 7 seconds of video and a ton of ultrasounds pictures will have to hold us over. The work we’re starting on the nursery this weekend should help feed our excitement and keep our minds occupied until she arrives. Look for pictures of her room to come soon………. (I wish I was kidding about annoying him, but really…I’m not.)

P.S. If you click on one of the first two images, it will take you to the entire gallery of 3D photos. (All 54 of them!)

P.P.S. I enjoy giving my husband a hard time. Especially since he gave me so much grief about being the one to write this post… I have to get my digs in when I can. And if I continue to listen to him, the reason I must get my digs in are because he’s so perfect. I would agree with him, but he’s sitting right here. I can’t give in that easily can I?
