Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a BOY!!!
Needless to say, we're excited! It was so fun finding out and then sharing with our friends and family. Little Luke is so loved already!! We can't wait to meet him. In the meantime, we are 21 weeks tomorrow and April will be here before we know it. Little man likes to kick a lot in the evening after Charlotte goes to bed and early in the morning. According to the ultrasound tech last week he has an "awesome aorta" and was practicing breathing, which is apparently "extremely advanced" for a baby of his size. LOL, I hope you can tell me sarcastic tone. But obviously, we are not surprised that our sweet little boy is starting off just as advanced as his big sister. <3
So for a little weekend recap, we had a great one! Last Thursday after we found out Lucas was Lucas we went out to dinner to celebrate just the three (four) of us. Bob and Becky drove down to our house late Friday night to stay over on their way to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. We started off the weekend Saturday bright and early with them and Gigi and Papa. We revealed the big news with blue cream filled Krispy Kreme donuts and they were delicious! Then we had a big family breakfast, Bob and Becky hit the road, and Gigi, Papa and us headed out to the shed to weed through the bajillion boxes of Christmas decorations we inherited from my Grandma last year. We had fun soaking up the sunshine outside and setting up Christmas decorations. I know I know, a bit early but we're traveling so much the next few weeks the next available time we'd have to do it would be December 17th and that is too late in my opinion! So, tree is up, house is decked (inside) and the outside lights will be going up as soon as possible. It feels great. And Charlotte LOVES looking (batting at) the tree.
Last night we got 90% of the gifts wrapped and under the tree, the remaining are Adams gifts that I need to wrap when he's not around. We're about halfway through addressing our Christmas cards. Hopefully I can get it all done by next weekend that way I can relax for the month of December and just soak in the season with my family!
Charlotte's room is also mostly set up. Her bed is in, curtains and bed rail (Christmas gifts from Grammy and Papa) are up, and most of the furniture is in. We just need to transfer her monogram and decorations, pick up some wall shelves from IKEA and paint a tree on the wall and it'll be done! She loves her room and likes to play on her big girl bed. After all of our traveling we'll start having her take naps in there on the weekend so she can get used to it.
So already, I've completed 2.5 of my 5 goals for the end of the year! Feeling great! And can't wait to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family this week!
Here are some more pics from this weekend's gender reveal.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
