Happy 36th anniversary to my mom and dad! We used to take a picture every year on August 5, and this one is an olden goldie I had scanned into my comptuer from a photo book I made for them awhile back. I couldn't resist sharing. I'm not sure what year it is, but I'm guessing '88 or '89.
I just said goodbye to Jason and Harper again for the week, but we had a great weekend together and are nearing the end of the road, which made it a little easier this time. My sister is also working tonight, so I know I will see at least one other familiar face soon. I have loved having her here for the last 4 nights! Harper has also loved going to find her on the floor and hanging out with "Yaya." She says a lot of words clearly, but that's as close as we get to "Joni". Here they are after Harper stole her shoes.
She really was happy, despite the look on her face :)
Joni, Jason, and I ordered Red Lobster last night, which was a delicious treat. I think I've eaten more restaurant food this month than ever, but I've been enjoying that part! Much better than hospital food over and over. After dinner, my parents stopped by with dessert to celebrate their anniversary and ours (which is tomorrow). It was a peach crisp made by my aunt Anita, and it was delicious. Here is Harper helping herself.
They also brought us some balloons to celebrate, and the flowers are from Grandma Sally.
This is Harper showing Grandpa Ted her favorite new pastime...watching videos online. So far her favorites are the Cookie Monster spoof of "Call me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jespsen (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTIGg3I5y8) and an episode of "Yogi Bear." The second one is rather ironic...we camped with my family and some long-time family friends at Yogi Bear campground earlier in the summer, and she was TERRIFIED of the characters. It was "Easter" weekend there in June (random, right?), and she still gets all worked up about the "Easter Bunny". But she made me show her pictures of the weekend on Facebook (thanks, Amanda!) over and over, and she talks about Yogi a lot. So I downloaded and old episode and she loves it. Crazy girl.
This was the Yogi episode. Grandpa was also a fan.
Today was nice and laid back. We didn't sleep in, but Harper fell asleep again around 9:30, so we were able to watch our home church online in relative peace. She likes to cuddle with me in my hospital bed.
We also had a nice lunch today with Jon & Misty and their kids. Here they all are...and Uncle Jason, who fits right in.
We spent the rest of the day taking naps, visiting with some guests from church, taking a walk around the hospital, and watching the helicopter.
I have to share one more picture. One of the specialists ordered an ultrasound for me today just to make sure things were still stable and I could make it through the week. Everything looked good, so the plan is to get to 36 weeks and deliver sometime next weekend or the following week! Baby Girl had her arms tucked around her face so we couldn't get a profile, but here is a 3-D picture of one of her little hands. You can see part of her face scrunched up behind it (but don't feel bad if you can't. Jason still can't make it out :).
It's so exciting to think that soon I will have pictures of Harper AND her sister sitting out in my frames at home. Can't wait!
Hope you had a great weekend.
