What the Harrison Boys Are Up To

Today marks 30 weeks and the boys continue to grow stronger. Praise God!!! Here's what's in store for them in the coming week (according to babycenter.com):

"This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (our boys are a little ahead of this curve) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, (do they ever!) so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy."

There's this cute little thing Jeff set up for me. Each day in the hospital the nurses would update a whiteboard in my room with the current date and the names of my nurse and patient care assistant. Jeff has created his own version of this for me at home:

Not sure where he comes up with all these names but it gives me a good laugh each day. Yesterday my nurse was Herbie Simplex.

Ha Ha Ha!!! Jeff is hilarious- love the names he comes up with. He's always been good at stuff like that. Keep us updated as to who your "nurses" are, we could all use a good laugh each day :)

Finally!

A chance to catch a glimpse of what's going on in the Harrison world!

We are so happy things are progressing along with the boys. Glad the boys are growing within rather than without.

We love you and think and talk of you and pray for you often.

I'm so glad I (Michael) got to speak briefly with you today, Mindy.

Love, Deanna and Michael and The Girls
