22 weeks

22 weeks already! I cannot believe that I am over halfway there. I went to the BIG ultrasound but did NOT find out this time. It was really hard not to look when she went down below and actually found out. But I really did not want to know without Joe and we just think it will be so exciting to find out in the delivery room. My belly is out there! All is going well but it is a lot more exhausting chasing around a toddler while being pregnant. Luke also likes to rough house so I need to start being a little more careful. He's always kicking the baby by accident but the baby kicks right back! My gut feeling is that the baby is another boy. He/she had the same heartbeat as Luke (138-142). But we shall see in October. 4 more months to wait and see!

14 weeks or so?

Wow how different this pregnancy has been. I don't have my photographer Joe around to take pictures so I'm winging it on my own. Here is me at about 14 weeks I think. I took these before Joe came back from his first trip. I feel pretty good so far and can't complain. I may have been a little more nauseous this time around but that is about the olny difference so far. Oh and I am showing way more since my stomach muscles aren't as tight I guess.

Here we go again!

Joe and I are expecting again! Yikes! Luke and his little brother/sister will be 21 months apart. We're so excited! It's going to be a long time waiting since Joe will be gone for most of the pregnancy but he will be home for awhile after the baby arrives. Thank goodness!

So this little one will join the world the first week in November :) I'll post some pics once I actually start to show again. I'm very tired so far since I chase Mr Luke around all day long. But it's keeping me busy and in great shape. It's going to be a fun ride!

38 weeks!

So we're about 2 weeks away from meeting our little bundle of joy :)The countdown is on and the anticipation is so very exciting!!! Hopefully this will be my last picture...any day now! He popped out even farther which I didn't think was possible.

36 weeks!

My belly is large and in charge! ha! 4 more weeks to go! I've reached the uncomfortable phase and I'm really ready for this little one to get here :) Small tasks are now getting much harder. Baby Luke should be over 6 pounds by now and about 18.5 inches long. He has the hiccups all the time and is still kicking and moving a bunch.

Luke's Nursery

Here's a few pictures of the nursery. We're still getting a few last minute things like a changing table and some wall decor but this should give you a pretty good idea. Thanks to everyone we have filled the room! Hopefully Luke likes green :)

the crib...

Joe's influence...

His closet full of clothes...thanks everyone!

And his bookshelf:

So we'll keep you posted!

34 Weeks!!!

Oh my!!! We only have 6 more weeks to go :) Hopefully he'll come right on time or early. If he's late that's ok too but we just can't wait for him to get here. Joe and I went to Target yesterday to get all of the last minute things we need like a car seat, a stroller and diapers! I was having dreams that he was here and I didn't have anything so now we're all set. This is me today at 34 weeks! Luke is now about 5 pounds and 18 inches long. The little guy is still moving like crazy and I'm sure he'll be an active one once he gets here. Yay!
