Well, I am now on week 35! I cannot believe it! It feels like everything has just flown by. I am feeling okay for the most part. Just trying to get things ordered and done before he comes. We had the 1st coat put on the nursery on Saturday and then they will come back this weekend and do the 2nd coat. It was a little too light blue for me so they added more gray to the 2nd gallon so hopefully on Sat. the color will be perfect. Things are slowly coming together. Amber is busy making last minute nursery items. I have the last few things on order that will hopefully get here soon. The nurses baskets for the hospital are almost done(yes we are bringing goodie baskets to our night and day shift nurses) Dustin has installed on carseat base and has one to go. I have done a little cleaning and organizing in the house...need to do a lot more! The nursery art is being worked on..I am super excited about this! I am not going to tell you really anything about it yet..I am waiting on the big reveal but I will say that it is very us! There is a local lady and she is doing a few prints for us on Canvas and I cannot wait to see the finished products and show y'all! I will give a few hints..of course one has his name and then there is one that is very "us" and southern and I will just leave it at that. Hopefully I will have at least one in about a week! I just cannot wait to show it. His nursery is slowly coming together. Like I have said before, it is so different from what I had planned before but I am really liking the direction it is headed in. I just hope the finished product is great! As for me..I am just waiting in a bag that my Mother is sending so I can finish having my bags packed and then I have to pack his new and super fabulous diaper bag and we will be ready to go to the hospital when the time comes.
Dustin is off for 2 days so who knows what we will do. Maybe we will be productive or maybe we will just lay around. I really could care less! I just love when he is off.
The weather here is snowy and cold but not that cold. I think we are above zero this week.

A few goodies..
Today was like Christmas for me! I had taken a few things for Amber to do for me as well as order a few things from her to be made. I went and picked them up today. It was like Christmas looking at what all she had done. There is so much more than what I am posting but I just wanted to post a few things to show. You all know that I am a crazy person when it comes to custom things and monogrammed stuff. Poor Jack Henry better love his name and initials because it will be or already is on just about everything he owns. People here think I am crazy for all of this I am sure but hey..it's me and I love it!
Paci Holders

**Of course all of this and more is available form Paper Treats :)

We have a crib! (Thanks Lesa!)
YAY! The crib is up! (Lesa, you can now breathe a sigh of relief!) Dustin was off today and UPS delivered the missing hardware this afternoon. Surprisingly, it was fairly quick and easy. I got the bedding yesterday from UPS so we will see if I keep it. I am still up in the air on everything but I am leaning in a certain direction for the room..I just hope I can make it work. I think this weekend we will have someone paint the room a lighter color to open it up and make it a little brighter. I will post pics when we have everything completed..who knows when that will be.
This is week 33. I have my days and then again I have my times. Some of the day I feel great and others I don't. I know it is all very normal. Jack Henry is still moving a bit. He likes to really move in the mornings and on somedays he will move for me at night. He has little movements when I sit throughout the day but mainly mornings are his play time. I still think he has a bit of room in there.
Fargo still remains rather warm for this time of year and we are really enjoying it. Dustin and I have done things around the house today since he is off today and tomorrow. We are looking forward to cooking ribs and having friends over tomorrow and then on Thursday Dustin is back to days..his fav!..At least he only has to work them for 5 days.
**Thank you Lesa for Jack Henry's furniture! He will love it! ..his Momma and Daddy love it too!

Shower 4
Today was a really fun day with friends! Both of my neighbors were unable to come but they brought over goodies before I left. They are so sweet. One made a blanket for JH and then one got him a swing and bouncer. They are both so sweet! We truly have the best neighbors!
The shower this afternoon was great! There was great food and lots of fun with friends. Megan, Krysta and Carrie were wonderful hostesses and did a beautiful job on everything! JH got lots of fun stuff. I took pictures on my phone once we got home of some of the homemade stuff he got as well as some of the decorations. Dustin took the camera to work so I will have to post those from the shower later.
Other than a few odds and ends to finish up I would say JH is good to go..or at least he has a great start! I am amazed and humbled by all the love from friends and family. We have been given so much and are so thankful for everything and everyone!!
Here are a few pics..(remember there are more to come!)
Here are the cute invites. I did try and blur/erase addresses and last names :)
This is the sweet blanket that my neighbor Stacey made. She said it was the 1st thing she has ever made! I think she did a great job!! She said she will put his name on there once he gets here..along with his birthday.
Amber("my sewing girl" as I call her) made him the cutest hooded towels. They are for when he is a little older but that are so stinkin cute! This one is for when I bathe him.
This one is for when Daddy bathes him!
Front
Back-I loved the front but when I saw the back I had a fit! I thought it was the cutest thing! Dustin loved it too!
Out of all my showers this is my 1st diaper cake! Carrie made it! It is so cute and I just adore the soft musical giraffe on top. She did such a great job! She said this was her 1st time to make one.
There were 2 vases..one with a "J" and one an "H". I thought the flowers were gorgeous! It was so sweet of them to let me bring them home.

Random updates
Just thought I would update with a few random things..
Crib-JH's crib construction was put on hold because they forgot to include the hardware. We are still waiting on the hardware to be delivered so hopefully we can put it together soon.
Bedding-I have ordered some bedding. We will see what it is like when it gets here on Mon. I pray I love it. As you have read many times his room has been really hard for me. I ordered a cute yet simple set with lots of color. I guess we will be repainting the room and then I can pull in more color in decorations. I am still so up in the air but I knew I had to do something..and quick! I will continue to keep y'all posted! I hope it all comes together fast and easy.
JH- His room is pretty much cleaned out as well as his closet. I have everything hanging and in drawers. I have washed all of his newborn/0-3 clothes and his blankets. I started a drawer of things to pack for he and I. No, ours bags have yet to be packed but at least I am making a little effort now. Lesa says I am in denial and that I am not acting like "me". She says I am scaring her. I admit that I am oddly calm right now. We will see if it lasts. I don't have a ton of things left to get for him. I will do a baby run soon and finish up everything he needs. We have been so very blessed and received so many cute and useful things. We only have a few must have items left to get so that is wonderful.
Shower 4- It's shower time again! This weekend is my 4th and final shower. I am really looking forward to visiting with everyone. From what I hear there will be maybe 10-12 people. Perfect number in my book! Most of the guests will be from Junior League but there are a few others that will be there. Megan, Carrie and Krysta are hosting. I know that it will be great with lots of food and fun! Of course I will post pics afterward.
Shower 3- Pics are done! Claire emailed me the photo sheets and has put the CD in the mail so as soon as it arrives I will post. The pics are really good. I look HUGE in them but she did a great job and everything looked beautiful! I can't wait to post them.
Dustin is back to work tonight. He is glad he is working night again. He is so much happier. We had a nice 2 days off. We did a few things around that house...not as much as we wanted but we did get a few things done.
I will close with our weather. It's funny when Dustin yells how hot it is but it has really been warm for us this time of year. Today was 28-30 and truly that is a winter heat wave when you have been used to -30. No jacket required for these temps this week. You truly burn up if you have a lot on. It is amazing how your body adjusts to the weather.

32 weeks
I had my 32 week checkup today and all is well. It was short and sweet. She said Jack Henry sounded great and just answered any questions I had. Thankfully, I am not dilated. We were worried that with all of my contractions..yes I am still having them all the time..that they might be making me dilate. I start going every 2 weeks now.
When I got home the dogs always bark and carry on in the garage when they hear my car pull up. I came in the house and of course they were still barking but one bark seemed really close. I opened the door and in came Beau. I was horrified because I knew that if he escaped from his kennel that there is only one thing he could have done..yep, he got into the food container. He had knocked it over and snacked on quite a bit of it. He was huge! This is not his first rodeo with getting into food. I immediately called Dustin and we decided that since he was moving around that we would hold off taking him in for now. (last time he spent quite some time in with the vet since labs are at risk for their stomachs twisting which can kill them..watch Marley and me) Dustin was getting off at 12 today anyway so he came straight home. He has been crying and is miserable but I think he is going to be okay. He has been sick all day but hopefully that is the worst of it and he will be back to normal soon. He will just have to skip a few meals for a while.
As always...there is never a dull moment at the Harris'. I can't imagine how it will be once JH gets here.

Beau
If you have been following my blog then you may remember me telling y'all about how Beau brings me my vitamins and tums everyday. He has yet to miss a day and this has now been going on for months. I try to keep him from it but somehow he manages to it it at some point during the day. It amazes Dustin and I. Recently he has become even more clingy to me and will not leave my side..ever! He feels like he has to see me at all times. He is worse than he ever was before but it is very sweet. He likes to lay his head or paw on my belly when he can. He is very gentle. The other 2 are not any different than before but Beau seems to know. Dustin just can't get over the way he acts now.
This picture was taken on Thursday. I was on the phone and looked down and this is what I saw looking up at me. He just sits patiently and waits for someone to get the meds out of his mouth. Somehow in his pill retrieving he managed to pick up some money that I had on my nightstand. I laughed so hard at him. I truly could not have had him do that if I tried. He is just so funny! Never a dull moment around here!
