2011 Recap: May

May was by far our busiest month! Harper coming into our lives was definitely the high point of this month and this while year!
=======================
Harper kept growing and she did not slow down until the very end!When I went in for my 36 week checkup, the doctor said I was measuring 40 weeks (awesome news - not) and was concerned about all my swelling. She sent me over for an ultrasound to see my Harper girl who was measuring over 9 pounds already! I was told to take it easy - ha!
Griffin (and Jimmy) developed a love for Angry Birds!As the weather improved, Griffin got a new fishing rod and practiced a little bit in the backyard.We spent Mother's Day morning at my dad's church with my mom and sisters.
Then, we headed down to see Maw Maw and it was pretty nice, so Griffin went swimming.
The 13th was my last day of work due to my swelling (I lost 3 pounds in water weight after I was able to stay off of my feet) and that weekend, we took a 2 hour trip (and stayed in a hotel) to see Aylah get baptized!After a fun day (the 26th) spent together, at the movies (seeing Kung Fu Panda 2) and running a few errands, it was time to be dropped off at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's for a few days. This is my last picture of just me and my boy!Griffin took his new job of Big Brother very seriously!
At 2:19 pm, Harper Elizabeth was born!!! She definitely had a full set of lungs as she cried the ENTIRE time I was being "fixed up" after my c-section! It turns out, she was hungry! Go figure! Ha!
Me holding my girl for the first time!Our family of four!!!While I was in the hospital (4 days), I got to spend lots and lots of quality time with the new princess!On Monday, the 30th, we got to come home and Griffin opened his new presents from his sister!He loved her from the 3rd time he saw her ... ha! The first few times, he wasn't sure of her, but once she came home, he has loved on her ever since!On the 31st, we took a trip to the pool (our 1st car ride with 2 kids :).
