There are so many firsts to write about baby boy.  I don’t even know where to begin.  Your Dad and I spend a lot of time just staring at you.  You are such a beautiful baby.  We get choked up often just looking at you together.  Our little family. You […]

All About Your Birthday!

Lucas, You were born one week ago, but it seems like yesterday. Maybe that’s because we haven’t slept since then… Nonetheless, this week has been filled with incredible emotion. People always say that when you have a child, you discover a love that is different from anything you have ever […]

Letter from Dad…

Well, Mr. Man, you are proving to be stubborn.  Maybe you didn’t get the memo, but you are suppose to be BORN.   I’m still at home.  When I sit down the contractions taper off some, but when I stand up they come much faster and more intense.   We’re waiting it […]

Still Pregnant

Wooo! Well we had an exciting appointment today!   You were being lazy today, and when I mentioned it to the Dr, she was a little concerned and wanted you hooked up for a Non-Stress Test (NST) where they basically make sure your heart rate is okay and you move around sufficiently […]

Today’s Appointment. Eviction Notice. Labor?

Dear Son, With only days remaining in your mother’s pregnancy, we couldn’t be more ready to meet you. Your mother is having a very hard time during these last few days, so remember that when you’re an angst-ridden teenager… I know this is weird, but I’m going to miss your […]

A quick letter from Dad…

Hey My Man, Just a quick little update from the Dr’s appointment last week.  You have dropped into position (at a -1/0 station which is apparently good), and the Dr said you are “Locked and Loaded!”     YAY!   I’m seriously DONE being pregnant, so feel free to come out now!!  Your […]

Hey Baby Boy! We had an OB appointment yesterday.  You are 36.5 weeks along now (3.5 to go!).   Your heartbeat was 162 bpm, and they are estimating your weight to be about 6 lbs 3 oz right now based on the measurements they took during the ultrasound.  That means if […]

35 Weeks Total Weight Gain– 32 pounds Cravings– Still no cravings really… Sleep-  Just like last update, sleep still sucks.   Apparently a symptom of pregnancy is insomnia, so sometimes I’ll randomly wake up in the middle of the night and be wide awake, and then not be able to go […]
