the newest edition of the harwood clan will wear this cute-as-can-be outfit home from the hospital:


they were completely sold-out online, but pa found the last one in the store and in the size we needed and surprised me with it today. so excited!

i should have forewarned him that it is dangerous to shop for baby girl clothes. in addition to the outfit, he had a bag full of other cute stuff for the little one!

progress in baby preparations

i recently purchased this play pen for the baby. and bonus.... it was on sale!so i am making some progress in my delayed preparations. i can't really call anything else i have gathered for this baby "my preparations" because other people have given me the items out of the kindness of their hearts.

a little boy's thought process

yesterday, i had the occasion to explain to the two boys, in terms that they could understand, what a placenta is and what placenta previa is. i also explained that because the placenta is in the way, the doctors would most likely have to cut my stomach open to get the baby out. jared asked if it would hurt and i said that they would make it so that it wouldn't hurt me.

after a minute of contemplation, isaac asked, "are they going to shoot you with a sleeping dart?"
