With 90 days to go until Harper arrives, we are tackling the nursery and all of the things that need to be assembled. The crib is the first big challenge; we have read all the directions and studied all the parts. We will post a picture when it is finished.
Last night at the Neri "Wopstock" Family reunion, I realized that not everyone may know what has been going on with me this summer. Let me start off by saying that Harper is fine and healthy as we far as we know and have no need for concern.
Back in May, the optometrist at Pearle Vision took pictures of my optic nerves (the nerve that runs from my eyes to my brain) and found that the left one was swollen. He mentioned a condition called psuedotumor cerebri. He let my OB know of the condition and then she referred me to the opthomalogist. He looked closer at my eyes and saw that both optic nerves were swollen. He then referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist then did some simple sensory tests on me, which I passed all of them. The next step was then to have an MRI and a spinal tap. The MRI was clear and now it is on to the spinal tap. Needless to say, I am extremely nervous to have this proceedure done but I guess it will prep for labor early! All of this is to make sure that the right decisions are made for labor and delivery for Harper and me. I hope to know what the outcome will be by the end of August.
Matthew and I have baby showers on August 30th (PenningtonFamily) and October 5th (Lundeen Family). We can't wait to figure out all of this baby stuff!!

Just want you to know that we are thinking and praying for you! Anything like that can make you nervous but when your pregnant, I know it makes you really nervous. Hope everthing goes well with the procedures. I guess I am going to have to wait for Harper to be born viewing any pictures on here! :)
I hope that everything goes well with you and the remainder of the pregnancy. I'll keep you and Harper and daddy to be in our thoughts.
