I'm sure it goes without saying, but this holiday season I have truly enjoyed myself! We have had some great parties already and done some good eating, and Lucas is just putting on weight like crazy! He is now 4 1/2 lbs and about 17 inches long! His toes are in my ribs and his hands on either sides of my belly button, and he is officially a karate kid!!
Only 4 more weeks to full term, a clean bill of health from the OBGYN this week, and now....we wait until 36 weeks when I get "checked" for the first time to see if I am at all dilated or effaced! Who knew I'd be so excited for something probably not so comfortable for me to go through!

In other news, we had maternity pictures taken today by the wonderful Dana Murph! You can visit her page at www.danajophotos.com. We took the pictures right here at our house and are so excited to see how they will turn out!
Last but not least, we also attended a newborn care class last week and Dee and I truly got a kick out of learning how to diaper, swaddle, and give baby a bath! We are going to just be naturals!! We rocked it with the plastic baby and all! If I had to give us a grade, I would say an A+ all the way! And, we answered the most questions correctly out of the group....SCORE!! Now, let's just see how we do when the baby arrives!
Here are some stats for ya to enjoy and keep checking back soon for the maternity pictures to come!
What's baby up to in there:
Big time brain development! He is now acutely aware of his surroundings - he can see, taste, and hear! And if there was something to smell in the womb, he'd be able to do that too!\

Total weight gain:
Well I'd like to avoid this question, but I know people are wondering so here goes nothing: 26 lbs. Woop woop! I can gain 9 more pounts in the next 7 weeks and still be within normal range, so I should be good to go! There's no stopping me now!! Haha!
Sleep:
Ummmm no.
Ummmm no.
Maternity Clothes:
Not enough of them! But, enjoying wearing Dee's t-shirts around the house!

Food cravings:
STRAWBERRIES! This was something I craved at the beginning of my pregnancy and it has returned in full force! #1 on the list: Strawberry Real Fruit Slush from Sonic! They know us by name and may we not forget they have happy hour from 2-4pm everyday! Who knew I could enjoy happy hour even more as a preggo than I did when I could actually drink a martini!

Our work Secret Santa exchange! I got some great goodies over the past few weeks and enjoyed some yumsters with some lovely ladies!What I'm looking forward to:
Do I really have to say? I guess I will for all you slow ones out there: Meeting my perfect little boy....DUH!
