Just a quick post of some things we have gotten already for Lucas! We cannot wait to get him in them! This little boy is so loved already and how much more of a blessing can that be!?!!

He will be beautiful in this for sure!

Last but not least, this was not a gift but was a purchase we made and luckily we were able to save so much money on my breastpump thanks to Dee's job! This thing is the Cadillac of breast pumps and I just know it will live up to all its hype! : )

Let's Shower The Baby With Gifts!

 

On Saturday, November 10th, we had our first baby shower at Paige's house! We were surrounded by our wonderful family and friends and got a ton of gifts we both wanted and needed. We had great food (I think I ate in the double digits of the cake squares!) and consumed an insane amount of punch!

We got special homemade gifts like diaper cakes made by a co-worker Christy, our most needed gift from my Mom and Dad which was our travel system with the stroller, carrier, and carseat, and personalized gifts from family friends with Lucas's name monogrammed on it! Here are some pictures from the shower for you to enjoy!

Doctor's Visit Update & 26 Weeks Stats

*Week 26 Stats for Baby Lucas*

Baby's size:

Lucas is weighing in at 2 lbs! He is the size of a head of iceberg lettuce and if we were to see him, we could see the color of his hair!

Total weight gain:

19 lbs. Go me!

Maternity Clothes:

I haven't bought any more maternity clothes - but that's not to say that I don't want to! My favorite maternity websites to shop on are www.motherhood.com and www.pinkblushmaternity.com - check them out or share them with someone you know that is expecting!

Food cravings:

The food cravings have actually been under control this week. My emotions on the other hand..........are somewhat of a roller coaster! Haha!

Movement:

Lucas continues to amaze me with his punches and kicks. It's fun to have my friends put their hands on my belly and feel his movements now!

Best moment of the week:

Simple but true: I enjoy Sundays with Dee. We get the opportunity to just wind down and enjoy one another. After church, we just take the time to be lazy in our lounge clothes. We eat, sleep, and laugh...ALOT!

What I'm looking forward to:
 I'm looking forward to my baby shower this weekend! I cannot wait to see everyone and get some cute stuff for the little one!

What I miss:

With the time change this past Sunday, I miss the extra hours of sunlight. It makes it harder for me to want to go for walks when it's pitch black outside.

Symptoms:

 The symptoms have been pretty much at bay this week which is good. I had another massage on Thursday night and I am so glad I found Jamie - she has really helped me stay stress-free with this pregnancy!

As a side note, at my OBGYN appointment this week I had the glucose tolerance test. I can say that I proudly passed it which means I do not have nor am I at risk for developing gestational diabetes! One more thing I can mark off the list! Our next appointment is scheduled for December 6th and we get to do the 4D ultrasound! I cannot WAIT to see my little boy's FACE! Ahhh I'm so excited!
