Harper and her "Greats"


Harper has a lot of family that is really excited about her arrival... but I would now say that she has a #1 fan! Chris' brother, John Jr "Bulldog", just found out that we were having a baby- and he is ecstatic! He found out through our Christmas card... which shows a picture of me looking rather pregnant and a mention of Harper's name and due date. John Jr has been making several phone calls and they have been HILARIOUS! 

Phone Call #1: To Chris
This is all left in a message: "Chris.... Congratulations! You're going to be an uncle. Lauren and Corby are having a little boy in March named Harper! I don't know what this means for everyone else... but I know that it means you are going to be an uncle and I'm going to be a great uncle!  

Phone Call #2: To Mr. Wheeler (John and Chris' dad)
This too is left in a message: "Dad... Congratulations! You're going to be a Great-great-grandpa!!!"

We love Bulldog and can't wait for him to someday meet our baby GIRL, Harper! He is hilarious with family titles. For instance, I am only allowed to call him my "brother" not "brother-in-law". So now that he's throwing around the word "great" totally cracks me up! 

Thank you, Bulldog, for being SO excited about Harper!!! She's going to love you so much!!!

Dear Lauren,
I, IN NO WAY, want to take away from Bulldog, because he is awesome...BUT...I would like to compete for the title of most excited. How do I do that?
Make a list.
