One Month!

I can't believe my little girl is a month old already! Time truly has flown by. Here are some of Harper Kendall’s feats thus far:


· sleeping 6 hours at a time!!!


· eating well (she's packing on the ounces quickly)


· lost her belly button at four days old overachiever!


· communicating (she's definitely not a crier, but only does so when she needs something). Harper made her first coo at five days old overachiever!


· smiling (my girl is one happy lady)


· first Doctor’s visit at one week. AND Harper doesn't have to go back again until 2 months! She pee’d twice and pooped once on the exam table. Daddy was so proud.


· moving (she has begun to squirm about, kick her legs and arms quite often - getting stronger! I call it "exercise" ;) hehe)


· pooping through and farting, it’s a challenge, but she's learning!


· EVERYONE says they love Harper's name… This just makes Mommy wish no one knew it, so you could be the only Harper.


· getting Daddy and Mommy wrapped around her finger


· going to TARGET!


· going to the Burnsville Mall


· going to church, being called on stage and blessed by Pastor CJ


· going to Auntie Cari & Uncle Nick's, Nana & Papa's House, Grandma & Grandpa's Houses


· getting baby-sat by Grandma & Grandpa at one week and two weeks old!! Yay Mommy! J


· Going to visit Ms. Kate and Zachary at St. Francis when he was born (Harper's exactly two weeks older).



I am so thankful for you, Harper. I couldn't imagine going through my life without you in it. I'm enjoying all we get to do and all I've learned from being your Mom so far. I pray that God would give me the strength to be a good, wise, strong Mom. I want you to know how much Daddy and I love you. We cherish our time on "Summer Vacation", as Daddy calls maternity leave, to bond and grow with you and enjoy learning who you are. I pray that you are healthy, whole, wise and happy.



We believe:


You ARE smart.


You ARE beautiful.


You ARE important.


You ARE special.


You ARE the best!

Post Baby - 2 Weeks

Here I am, post baby 2 weeks. Not normal, but definitely not preggo any longer! I haven't weighed myself yet (no place to do so!), but I'm a bit scared to. Not sure what I weigh, but I'm sure I lost plenty with shoving an 8 lb 1 oz baby out of my vagina! It really is incredible how much water weight you loose instantly. Any bit swollen I was my last bit of being pregnant was almost instantly gone once Petal was delivered. Even within a day, I no longer had any sign of kancles, my face seemed almost back to normal and I felt sooo much better! As soon as I weigh myself, I'll let you know how much I have left to loose! I can't wait to work out... oh how I've missed it!!!
