4th of July Plans?

Obviously, since BBH's due date is tomorrow, I would like to be having a baby. But since it appears that my due date may just come and go at this point I think this little family may have something fun to do on the 4th.

We are planning on getting up as early as we can, pack everything in our car and head down to the beach. Enjoy a little sun and sand, eat some good burgers and people watch. The best part?

My hospital is right there.  YES! So if I go into labor we can just head over there in 3 minutes flat. 

Awesome.

The even better part?

Spending a day with my family.  Whether it be at a hospital or at the beach makes no difference to me.  This 4th of July will be one to remember!

It will be our last holiday as a family of 3. Soon BBH will be here and we will be a family of 4.  Dan and I are so excited and I know Madi is anxious to meet her little brother. 

So what are your plans for this 4th of July?

It is beginning to feel like summer

This weekend was SPECTACULAR!  On Friday I had an ultrasound just to check on BBH's growth and see how he was doing.  He is doing awesome.  In fact, he already weighs in at 3 pounds and I am weighing in to the day of my due date.  I don't think he is going to be tiny.  I think the appropriate word would be tank! That is how the Harper's roll!

 

Say hello!!!!! I love his little nose and lips. I just want to kiss him over and over again.  ;)

On Saturday evening, we thought we would take a little stroll by the beach and let Madi touch the sand.  It ended up being very chilly at night, but it was so nice to get out and just walk around.  And the ocean is probably one of our favorite places to be. In fact, Dan and I think a trip to Santa Barbara is in order.  It has been awhile since we have been there.

 

 

 

My husband is totally hot.  I like your pose baby.  hehe.

On Sunday morning, Knott Avenue was blessed by the teachings of Josh McDowell.  KACC is kicking of a brand new series called "Fireproofing your Family" and Josh McDowell was our guest speaker.  I have only read one of his books (More Than A Carpenter) but I was really intrigued by what he had to say in regards to family and to the men.  I noticed my husband paying very special attention to what he had to say regarding fathers and their relationship to their children.  Dan takes that instruction very seriously and I am so thankful that he wants to have a great relationship with Madi and his son.  There are unfortunately many dads who have no clue and it breaks my heart for those children. 

After church in the morning, Madi and I decided to stay home and go to the pool.  It was so hot outside and I thought it would do both of us some good to just get wet and get some Vitamin D.  No worries....I slathered on the sunblock.  I am VERY SERIOUS about my sunblock.  If my husband doesn't start putting more on then I might have to chase after him like I do Madi in order to make sure he is completely covered.  ;)  Now wouldn't that be a funny site to see. A grown woman chasing after a grown man yelling "YOU FORGOT TO PUT ON SUNBLOCK!" I am sure many folks would feel very sorry for Dan. LOL!

Madi takes her swimming very seriously.  And she makes sure she looks the part too.

 

 

Whoops! Forgot to take of the UV protection sticker. LOL!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.
