Diaper Notes

At my baby shower my family had in February one of the activities we had our guests do was write words of wisdom or encouragement on diapers. Well we finally got around to using those diapers and it was fun after changing the umpteenth diaper to have a fun message to look forward to reading! Here were some of my favorites: " Handle with Care"...."Beware of Shooting Poo"...."The diapers years will truly go by fast"....."What a miracle!"...."Enjoy every minute".... There was also a very special drawing of a smiley face on one with the words "poo explosion"!! We have only had one diaper change which resulted in a bath (more on that story later!). I think that's a pretty decent track record for 6 weeks!

6 Weeks

Parenting is so much harder than I ever thought it would be. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my daughter and I love my new job as mommy. But this is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. No one tells you about how you will constantly second guess yourself, how incompetent you will feel when you have done everything to comfort her and she still cries, or how exhausted you will feel all the time and all those people who told you to sleep now when you were pregnant you want to beat with a large stick! That being said we survived the first 6 weeks!!! Although the midnight feedings are still hard and we are not on a schedule (besides hers!) I wouldn't trade my time home with her for anything!



Harper is doing amazing! This week she started smiling, her smile lights up her whole face. When she smiles at you, you can't help but smile yourself! Its the best feeling in the world!!!

Happy Easter

He is Risen!

1 Month

Harper is one month old already! How did that happen so fast! It seems like yesterday, Ev and I brought her home barely fitting into her newborn outfit and now she is already wearing 0-3 month clothes!!! She is changing every day and we are loving to get to know our little girl. Here are some of the highlights from the past month!




- Loves to be held by anyone who is willing to walk and sway with her for as long as possible.


- Eats every 2-3 hours during the day and sleeps for 4 hour stretches at night!


- Loves bath time (especially when her daddy sings to her her tubby-time song)


- Snuggling with mommy after feedings is one our our favorite times together!


- Loves to dance with her daddy while he sings her silly songs


- Likes to listen to music




I can't believe how much our little wee one has changed since the time we brought her home!

Although I don't want to wish away this precious time with our baby girl, I am excited to see what the future holds for her.
