So Harper Has Glasses...

This cutie-pa-tootie will be sportin' these glasses for at least the next several months. Our pediatrician noticed at her 2 month check up that her eyes tend to go in...so he referred us to an ophthalmologist and basically her eyes need to be strengthened. So the plan is for her to wear these adorable glasses in hopes that the prescription in them will strengthen her eye muscles, and eventually, not have to wear the glasses anymore. It could take several months or a couple of years for her eyes to have the strength needed. If the glasses don't work then there is a muscle surgery that can be performed. So we are obviously praying that these glasses work and surgery can be prevented.

I may be biased, but isn't she still so adorable?

Steady My Heart

To say the least...it has been a crazy couple of days. We are in the process of buying our first house, which is extremely exciting, but at the same time a lot of work, time, and patience that we are putting into it. We found out yesterday that Harper is going to have to sport some super cute pink glasses for a while to correct her eyes. And to add just one more thing to my plate, for the first time in who knows how long I got in a minor wreck that was, of course, my fault.

This morning I woke up from a restless night due to thinking about the offer we placed on the house yesterday and sweet Harper's eyes...constantly praying that the Lord's will be done in regards to the house, and also that these glasses will correct Harper's eyes and surgery will be prevented. I left the house with a heavy heart and headed up to the gym which eventually led to that minor wreck that I could have done without. It quickly became one of those moments when I was just throwing the question "why?" around in my head. And before I could feel sorry for myself any longer, I was reminded of Kari Jobe's "Steady My Heart". That quickly became my prayer. God, STEADY MY HEART. YOU are in control. YOU are faithful. I can always trust YOU when life gets messy. I am beyond grateful for a God who can wrap his peace around me in the midst of my silly chaotic life. Steady my heart, those three powerful words, are so comforting for me to pray. It's my prayer that when we all get overwhelmed with different circumstances of life, that we can just remember that GOD is in complete control, and just ask him to STEADY YOUR HEART. You will be blessed. I hope these lyrics bless you as much as they have blessed me.

Wish it could be easy

Why is life so messy

Why is pain a part of us

There are days I feel like

Nothing ever goes right

Sometimes it just hurts so much

But You're here

You're real

I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts

Even when it's hard

Even when it all just falls apart

I will run to You

Cause I know that You are

Lover of my soul

Healer of my scars

You steady my heart

I'm not gonna worry

I know that You got me

Right inside the palm of your hand

Each and every moment

What's good and what gets broken

Happens just the way that You plan

And I will run to You

You're my refuge in Your arms

And I will sing to You

Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart

2 Months!

Harper turned 2 months in January! And had a great check-up at the doctor along with her first full round of shots : ( ....none the less, we all survived. Harper weighed in at 11 lbs 13 oz and she is 23.5 in long. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight, and the 86th percentile for height. She is such a great sleeper which is the complete opposite of Jett when he was her age. She wakes up once at night for a feeding. I am so not use to this...Jett did this at like 10 months. Needless to say, I am extremely grateful for her mad sleeping skills.

Here is our happy baby girl at 2 months!
