Wayyyyy Behind!!!

Okay, I am really really not good at blogging, and I am WAY behind. So I will do my best to get all caught up. (Eventually.) Well since my last post we have been going crazy with baby things! We are also having a little girl!!! We are thrilled! I am a little nervous because if she is anything like me when I was little, then we are in for it! Chris was a little shocked at first. We thought we were having a boy, so did everyone else! We were sure we were having a boy! Even at our second ultrasound we had the doctor double check just to be sure, and sure enough, its a girl. :) The thing I have loved most about having a girl is seeing how excited Chris gets over the cutest little girl outfits. He loves it.  This little nugget has more clothes than I do and she isn't even here yet! We have decided to name our little one Harper Wiley. Even before we were pregnant we always discussed names we wanted for our kids. Harper was always on the top of the list and even though we haven't officially "met" she is already a Harper to me. We thought about middle names but we couldn't come up with any that fit, so we decided that she will (hopefully) take Wiley as her middle name when she gets married. This pregnancy hasn't been the easiest, but I know it will be SO worth it. I had to go on bed rest at 27 weeks because I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. It is common with first time moms but they were worried because I was diagnosed with it so early. So I have been confined to my couch or bed until baby comes.We really have been blessed though and I am so grateful for the power of priesthood blessings and prayer. Our baby has been extremely healthy for what has been happening. She is even measuring bigger and is doing everything she should be doing which the doctors say is really amazing. She is a fighter already :) Chris and I have been quite the procrastinators with getting everything ready.. Typical. Haha over the past month we decided that we should probably start stocking up on diapers and wipes. The only thing we have been consistent with is buying baby clothes. They are way too cute not to buy, but diapers are probably more important :) We finally got a little crib/bassinet/playyard thing for her to sleep in for the first little bit. Chris LOVED putting it together. He is gonna be such and amazing father. He gets so excited about those little things. We also got a stroller and carseat last week, well when it came the carseat was broken so we had to send it back and order another one.. Harper will be here in 12 days... Can you say crunch time?? I am hoping the carseat will get here or else we will be hanging out at the hospital! Chris and I have also been going through a major nesting phase, and its really not just me that is a crazy clean freak, I might be rubbing off on him a bit. Oops. Its so crazy to think that in less than two weeks we will have our own little one. Its scary not knowing what to expect either. I just hope I have everything ready to go by then. I guess this post has been all about Baby H. We are pretty much obsessed with her. :) Well.. The other new things in our life... Chris has been transferred to Layton to run that Journeys store. We are still living in Logan and he commutes everyday. He loves it there. We also just celebrated our 1st Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe what all has happened this past year! I really did marry my best friend. I love him with all of my heart. I am happy I get to start this new chapter of our lives together. I couldn't be happier. That's really all that's happened lately. I will update more!! :)
