Harper's Book and What We Are Up To

What a nice day!  Jason, Harper and I got out and walked around the block today, and it was so refreshing to be out of the building.  We also took a field trip to the skywalk and watched the helicopter land and take off, which Harper loved.  She kept saying hi to the members of the flight team as they would go past us to and from the landing pad.  So glad there are people like that ready to (literally) take off at a moment's notice should the need arise. 

Harper didn't have a very long nap, so she was a little silly this afternoon.  She enjoyed showing off to some of our fun visitors today.  She also had fun playing with her little buddies when some friends came for pizza tonight.  Our room was quite the hub of activity again for a couple hours, which is a nice change of pace for me!  After the friends left, Harper went down pretty early, and Jason and I are watching some swimming and enjoying the wonders of technology (me blogging, him playing Angry Birds.  I tried to get him to do a guest post, but he refused.  If you would like to hear from him, feel free to encourage him in person, via text, or on facebook :).  Oh ya, and we are enjoying each other's company, too. ha.

One of my goals for my hospital stay was to get caught up on organizing my pictures of Harper.  I got a long ways on Friday and finished up the Shutterfly book of Harper's first year while Jason and Harper were running some errands this morning.  I am going to try to do a "Family Yearbook" for every year that will include a lot more of our pictures, but I wanted to have a short book to record each month of Harper's first year "at a glance."  It includes her milestones and what we as a family were up to each month.  In case you are curious (or bored), here it is.

Shutterfly photo books offer a variety of layouts and cover options to choose from.

We are looking forward to another day together before Jason and Harper go back to "real life" on Monday.  I am almost halfway in my hospitalization (if I can make it to 36 weeks), so I feel like there is at least an end in sight. 

I hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying what is left of summer!
