A Little Project for Harper

Harper's hairbows have been out of control since she was born. We have a wonderful friend in GA who is the hairbow QUEEN, and her little girl wanted to pass all of them onto Harper...so sweet!!! I find them all over her room, and when I need a certain one, I sometimes can't find it... which is very frustrating when you are trying to get out the door.

I saw one of these on another blog, and thought I could make that! So, tonight I gathered up my coupons & went to Michael's. There was also a ton of ribbon on sale for a $1, so I gathered up quite a few of those, too!

Here's how I did it...
I got a mini canvas, and painted it.


I let it dry, and the painted the word "BOWS" on it. I considered writing Harper or a big "H" on it, but then if we have another girl or girl-S, then I wanted to re-use it for them. I hot-glued ribbon onto the back of it, and then tied extra ribbon on the hanger to make it more fun :-)



Then I hung it up, and put her bows on it! They are all organized now, and super cute!

A Survey and Some Belly Pics

How far along? 15 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: about 10 lbs.

Maternity clothes? Oh yes... I don't even want to look at normal clothes, they make me too uncomfortable. Nancy helped me switch my closet out when she was here, so it feels nice and organized!

Stretch marks? Still just leftovers from Harps, but I know they are coming for me :-)

Sleep: Oh how I love sleep, and am enjoying it. I think every night how much I love it and appreciate it right now because i know there will be a day in the near future where I will not like it so much b/c I will be so large.

Best moment this week: Feeling the babies move and seeing them "play" together on the ultrasound.

Worst moment this week: Gagging. It is annoying. I read my post when I was about 14 weeks with Harper, and I gagged all the time then, too. Oh well, at least nothing is coming up!!!

Movement: I've been feeling them more and more. After the ultrasound tech confirmed where they are located now... two on my left, and one on my right, I was for sure that I've felt them move!

Food cravings: protein, avocados, milk.

Gender prediction: It is really weird. At first I thought 2 boys and girl, but now I'm thinking it is 3 boys. I don't have a "gut" feeling like I did with Harper.

Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)

Belly Button in or out? in but shallow

Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but I'm wondering how long they will be on???

Weekly Wisdom: Clean out things now while you have the time! Get other rooms ready and get rid of junk!( I kept my same "wisdom" from the last survey at 14 weeks with Harper b/c it is TRUE!)

Milestones: Seeing the babies move, flip and play on the ultrasound! We got to watch them for about an hour because the tech had to look for all sorts of things. She was training another girl who got to practice on me since I have triplets... not a common thing for a tech to see! It was fun, but I was a little bummed out b/c I thought we would get a gender prediction. Hopefully, next time!!!

Looking forward to next week: Maybe seeing Nancy and Will!!! Starting "couch" rest, and our sweet nanny, Kyla starts on Monday!!!! I am a happy mama!!

Here are some pics of the growing belly...
13 1/2 weeks





15 weeks - and a haircut! I realized I'm supposed to be taking it easy starting next week, so I went to get my haircut today just in case I begin to contract at all in the near future - in which I need to stay horizontal as much as possible. My hair hadn't been cut in about 4 months, and probably won't be cut for another 4-5 months. I need highlights, but I'm not getting them while I'm preggie. I'll wait until after the babies get here. :-) ( I know many people and even doctors say it is safe to get your hair colored while pregnant, but this pregnancy is high risk enough, and my vanity can be put on hold for at least 9 months! :-) )




My belly is going to be HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to Keep You Waiting...

Well, folks, the babies are doing great and are measuring ahead of schedule!!! Yahoo! But, we had a very conservative ultrasound technician who would not predict the sex of the babies for us. :-(

So, we must wait at least 2 more weeks if not 4 more. But, I promise by 4 more weeks we will know. That is when my big anatomy scan is, so we will definitely find out then.

I am very tired tonight after a long day of being in the doctor's office, so this is a short post.

My new goal is to drink water... LOTS of it! At least 64 oz... but working my way up to 96 oz... OH MY! Where is all this food and water going to go?!?! My tummy room is getting smaller every day!

I'll post a belly pic in the next day or so. It's gettin' large!

Love to all! Thanks for praying!
