Harper at two months

Can you believe it?  We have a two month old!  We also just realized that we get to celebrate Mother’s and Father’s Day this year. Crazy, right?

Harper and I have been pretty much inseparable these past two months. After all of this quality time, this is what I know:

• Harper looks just like her dad.

• She loves being near her dad and being held upright.

• Harper is a fan of extremes. She’s either really happy

 or really mad.

• Harper is a huge fan of cloth diapers, especially pocket diapers right now.

• She has to be completely asleep before we put her down.

• She loves to eat! She knows the breast is best! Our 4lb 15oz newborn now weighs 6lbs 8oz. Let’s hear it for McFatty!!

• She’s a sweet little person and we love her very much!

This is what I know...

Our pastor says that all the time when he's getting ready to spit the knowledge. On a side note, very happy we've finally found a church home in Atlanta.

But, here's what I know thus far

• Our ultrasound is coming up in a few weeks. Exciting! However, we won't be finding out the sex of the baby at that time. I know for all of you shoppers out there, this is devasting news. You'll have plenty of time for that. We like the idea of waiting until the day Baby Ray Ray makes his/her entrance into the world to say "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!"

• We will be breastfeeding Ray Ray. Or I'm going to try very hard towards that end. No decision on whether or not Ray Ray will be a vegetarian, but for now, the breast is best!

• We'll be a cloth diapering family! Cloth diapers have come along way over the years, and I'm excited to give the new versions a try!

• Our goal is to have an unassisted birth. No, that does not mean it will be just Johnny and I at home giving the whole labor thing a go. Well, not this time at least! But we'd like to achieve a birth without medical assistance (i.e. epidurals)... anything where a needle is involved. We do know that anything can happen, and will let our birthing team guide us.

About "Baby Ray Ray". Ever since he found out we were pregnant, our good friend Kenny has been calling the baby "Ray Ray". While I'm not a fan of double name nicknames (at all!), for some strange reason, this name is catchy. Oh, but please believe, our child will NOT be called Ray Ray when he/she gets here.
