Complete...

I never thought my daughters baby book would be complete 5 weeks after she was born ...but it is. I can't believe that it has been 5 weeks already....I miss her. We received Harper's pictures in the mail on Wednesday...I have put together a baby book...the pictures were the last thing to be added. I looked everywhere for a special book to put her things in...not just a box....I could never find one. I settled on a basic pink "brag book" and it has worked okay. I think I will make it a point to try and design one for other mom's out there... I was initiated into a club that I didn't want to join...sometimes we don't have a choice....unfortunately there will be others.
The hospital was and has been incredible with our family....our hospital stay and delivery was made tolerable by the nurses and staff...we still recieve follow up calls to make sure we are handling everything okay. However, Dave and I don't understand why they decided to open Harper's eyes for her pictures. We never saw her with her eyes open and that is not how we remember her....Dave and I have both had a hard week this week...I have found being back at work helpful but at the end of the day I am exhausted...Dave has been super busy and enjoying being back in school and coaching season. We decided to show the kids Harper's pictures...we explained a few things first...they sat at the kitchen table and looked....they both said she is so cute mommy. Kendall still thinks she is coming back...Landon knows that it is permanent. I love having all the kids keepsakes...they each have their own special book...Harper is no different...she has her own...it is just complete.
