Just a brief update...

So I just realized it's been quite a while since I last posted...sorry bout that guys! Not too much is going on. I had a cold about a week or so ago and did not feel like doing anything! But I made it thru...all better now!

This past Friday I drove out to Beecher to visit my gf Jody and she threw me a mini shower. Well, not really, but she gave me alot of stuff! Her neighborhood was having garage sale days and she found quite a few items in new or almost new condition (including a portable swing, a playmat and a few other crib/cradle toys and floor toys)! In addition, she gave me part of my shower gift already! I told her she wasn't allowed to give it to me yet, but there was no use arguing with her...she won. She gave us (Lucas and I) alot of great stuff! A special thermometer and special nail clippers, a few books for mommy to read, including Healthy Baby Happy Sleep Habits (one I will be sure to read!), some cute little clothes and socks, receiving blankets (that match the onesies Grandma Bernard gave him a few weeks ago) and much more! She's crazy! I'm now beginning to realize how small our townhome really is...where am I going to put all this baby stuff!?!? Lol!

On my way home from Jody's I stopped off at my parent's house since the whole family was hanging out there except for me, including my hubby. My sis gave me her Medela Breast Pump to borrow (minus the accessories which will be on the registry) and a few cute little outfits, including two little Cubby outfits (I bought them for Emma when she was a baby but I don't think she would even dare to put those on Kendall now considering they are living with my parent's and my brother, HUGE Sox fans) and a sweet little white sweater-like one piece (picture overalls) with green and yellow stars and a matching hat. Score again! We sure are lucky to have such great friends and family!

Well besides the fact that Lucas is getting stronger and my glucose test is July 24th, nothing else is really new with us. I will have to post belly pix since I haven't in 7 weeks! Yikes! I'm terrible! I used to post pics at work and now I'm not able to and the last thing I want to do when I finally get home (around 6:45), make dinner and eat (now it's 8:00) is sit in front of the computer again, so sorry for the lack of posts. Oh! and don't forget the Avon stuff and my school...wow I'm busy! Lol! Anyways, they will get here eventually, just keep checking back.

Lil Slugger

So I have given our little boy a nickname...Lil Slugger. I have chosen this name because it feels like he's hitting baseballs against his mommy's tummy! And I mean homeruns! Ha! I swear he is already playing sports in there! Which, coming from my family of crazy sports lovers or Todd's family who is almost as crazy about them, wouldn't be so far fetched!

Last night was the first time he kept his mommy from falling asleep...and I was soooo tired...figures. I had an Avon meeting and then came home to put my orders together and stayed up way past my bedtime. I'm not sure what he was doing, but it was much more than the usual little kicks and punches tho.

So here are a few pictures from baby Lucas' closet....these are pictures of all the presents that baby Lucas has already received. So many people just can't wait to meet you and spoil you!

These outfits are from mommy and daddy's first shopping spree after we found out that you were a boy. Since we found out in May and you are due in October, we had to shop the clearance racks...but I think we did pretty good. You already have your first lil preppy Christmas outfit and a Santa suit for your Christmas pictures. We are also anticipating that you will Love HUGS since you will be getting so many of them! Lol! So you will wear the snugly sleeper that says so. You have a onesie that claims you are on "Daddy's Team", but we all know you will be a mama's boy (hehehe). And if you're going to be anything like you are in mommy's tummy, you will wear the onesie mommy found that says "Mommy's Little Monster" (but you'll be the cutest monster ever! not a scary one). And just because mommy loves overalls so much, you got two pairs, one that I picked out and one your daddy picked out.

These adorable onesies are from your sports loving Grandma B. (my mom). I told you they love sports! I wasn't kidding! Lol! The pix on these cover all the major sports except basketball, which your daddy noticed, so I'm sure he will find you something with basketball on it. See, they all just can't wait til you can hit, throw or bounce a ball!

These sweet little presents are from mommy's friend Wendy. Mommy & daddy met her and her husband on our honeymoon. They don't live that far from us and are having a lil boy too! He'll be a lil older than you since he's due to arrive in July, but you two can still be buddies. The big snugly blanket says Thank Heaven for Little Boys around the edges...and we agree!

And last but not least, these adorable outfits are from your Aunt Jody. Your Aunt Jody is mommy's best friend who has been so great about this whole experience. She calls mommy all the time to say hi and see how you're doing and I think she is just as excited to meet you as we are (although she thought you were going to be a girl for a long time). These were your very first presents and mommy was so excited (and daddy too)! You are going to be the cutest, warmest baby in Plainfield this winter!

As you can see you are already very loved (and well dressed). It will only be a few months before you get to try all these wonderful presents on!

Love you sooooo much! XOXOXO
