*Harper in 4D*

My momma came into town this weekend and finally got to come to an ultra sound!  We went and saw our baby girl in 4D again.  It is sooo amazing to see this little one Nick and I created together.  Pretty cute huh??!!  I mean just look at those cheeks :)  We have decided she definitely has my nose and Nick's lips, which is good because the James nose is a curse lol (just kidding, but really!!)   Although we still need to get a lot done and are a little nervous about how everything will go, we are beyond excited to meet our baby girl.  We LOVE you with all our hearts already Harper Sophia :)

Nursery Update

Well we got something accomplished this weekend!  Nick got Harper's crib all put together and the mattress in.  Now we just need to wash all her bedding and get it set up closer to baby girl's arrival.  Isn't it such a pretty crib? I love it!  We also got our pink glider set up.  It is ADORABLE! I can't wait to sit in it with her and read books, nurse, and rock her to sleep every night!  We are still waiting on the armoire and the changing table to come in and then I will post more pics. I still can't believe we have a nursery in our house now!  It is crazy that Harper Sophia will be here so soon :)

Sleep: Sleeping much better!  My pregnancy pillow has been a life saver and my hubby rubs my back every night before bed :)  He's a keeper!!

Best moment this week: Going to our birthing class at the hospital.  Although the class was graphic and gross at times, I felt so much better knowing what we can expect when the day comes.  I know you can never really be prepared, but I do feel better.  Having Nick there with me to support me and practice lamaze with me was nice too! He will be such a good daddy as he is already an amazing husband!  We shared a lot of laughs at the class too!
