23 weeks

Ok...so I'm a week behind...but I just HAD to update this pic! This probably is my MOST FAVORITE pregnancy pic EVER!! Thanks to Alison Crossen for allowing me to be in her wedding...pregnant and all! I loved it! :)

An overnight with Grammy :)

Lucas is now 19.5 months and just LOVES his Grammy! (I mean...who doesn't right?) This past weekend he got a chance to do his first solo overnight at Grammy's house and from what I hear...he had a ball and was a gem! I'm so thankful for that!

As I arrived on Sunday to pick him up, he was just waking from a nap, we got him changed and fed and then out the door we went to go play! This child LOVES to play outside and take walks! Here are a few pics from the afternoon...

Taking a walk with Grammy


Lucas and Grammy

After we left Grammy's we went to meet a few friends at the park and then got some icecream. When we got back in the car I asked Lucas if he wanted to just close his eyes and nap on the way home so when he got home he'd be all ready to play with daddy. This was his response to me...


However, and just as Grammy predicted...10 minutes after getting on the road...this is what I turned around to find...


Isn't he just precious w/ his little legs crossed? I think he had a GREAT time! Thanks again Grammy!! xoxo

20 Weeks!

Well with 20 weeks comes our latest ULTRASOUND!! YAY! It was sooo great to see a glimpse of our baby and also hear that this baby is growing PERFECTLY!!!

There is only 1 baby in there, but they were able to give us a shot of both sides of the profile!

I have to include a 20 week belly shot as well...we are GROWING!!!!

Nearing the 1/2 Way Point!! 19 Weeks!

This picture was taken on my date night, for my dear friend Ashley.
Love you...and you're welcome!

Love my little Angel...

I hold one baby in my arms today,
I hold one baby in my belly today,
and I hold one baby in my heart today.

Love you little angel, can't wait to meet you!
xoxo.

ps. Have a GREAT birthday w/ Pop Pop!

Our 1st Playground Adventure!

It was a VERY WARM 84* on Sunday and so we decided to get out of the house! We ventured over to Easton to do a little walking around and grabbed a smoothie...which Lucas promtply stole from me (yes, an 18 month old can steal your smoothie...)

As it was getting warmer, and Lucas was getting bored...we decided to leave Easton in search of a Playground. We ended up at Blendon Woods Metro Park (gotta LOVE Columbus Metro Parks!) and we had a ball! Lucas was not afriad to climb the stairs or head down the slide...even face first a time or two!

All in all we had a great day! Lucas loved it and we totally enjoyed being out in the WONDERFUL Sunny weather ourselves! I think this face says it all!

BUNK BEDS!!!!!!

So a dear friend of mine helped me with a 'bed swap' and scored us a set of Bunk Beds for Lucas. Although he isn't quite big enough for a "big boy" bed quite yet, as the beds were delivered today I found myself VERY EMOTIONAL over the fact that he is, in fact, getting to be big enough. Where has my little baby gone? I mean, I know in quite a few respects he is still a baby. But wow! I guess this is all a part of growing up. I'll try to not be sad for the time that is slipping away, as long as I know I'm cherishing every moment along the way. I also can't help but think...I'll never be able to show this "big boy" bed to my dad. Yet another first, I don't get to watch him experience. I wish it didn't make me so sad...all this growing up...and I don't get to share it with my dad. NOW I understand what my mom means.....
