Settling In

Morning mommy! http://instagr.am/p/NOPek3yb-h/

I stole this pic of my cutie from my sister, who is taking very good care of her today!  I'm sure Harper will keep her aunt and cousins on their toes playing at the camper and swimming in the pond. I know I'm biased, but isn't she the cutest? 

I can't wait to kiss her cheeks tonight. Jason is taking her up after work, and we are going to hang out in the room and probably put her to sleep here so we have more time with each other.  Then Jason will (hopefully) get her to the car without a major wake-up and put her down at home. 

I am also expecting my mom and niece Maddi any minute, complete with lunch from Panera.  YUM. I don't know if it was growing up around the bakery for all those years or what, but bread is my ultimate comfort food. I am excited for a break from the hospital fare, even though they serve a nice variey for me to choose from.

Other than that, things have been pretty quiet around here, which is a good thing.  They monitor the baby's heartrate and any contractions I'm having three times a day. So far the baby has looked excellent and the contractions have only been very small braxton-hicks, which I am not really even feeling and most likely wouldn't notice if I was not chained to a bed watching them on a monitor :) 

I got to "break out" of the hi-risk OB floor twice yesterday to go see Lyncoln, both times with trusty escorts pushing me in a wheelchair (thanks Joni and Larry!).  It was nice to have a change of scenery, and Lyncoln is doing so well, which was great to see.  I also got a lot of visitors yesterday, which I loved!

I want to say thank-you to everyone for all your kind words in person and on facebook--they mean so much to me and our family.  Your offers of prayers and help are so much appreciated, and going through this stay would be much more difficult without a great family of believers surrounding us. We love you!!
