Not too much to report since my last baby post, but lots of cute pictures from the weekend : ) The past couple weeks have been simply perfect and we could spend forever outside. We've had a few days where I think it's unbearable - and then I remind myself this is just the beginning and it's only going to get worse! Hopefully losing some weigh in a few weeks will help me survive the summer hahaha

Next week we'll have this all fenced in! 

Lucas dropped this weekend which is something I never experienced with Seth. It's made me a bit more uncomfortable, but all in all I'm feeling good other than some annoying heartburn. 

My car got a lot smaller over the weekend!

Jeremy's back to a normal college schedule this week. But, we just have to get through this one and then it's time for Spring Break! We are looking forward to the time off and for Jeremy's parents to come visit! After that Jeremy has just one more week of work before it's baby time and two weeks off together as a family of four : ) 

35 weeks

We had our 35 week checkup yesterday! We are now on weekly visits and it just doesn't seem real! I told Jeremy I can't believe we are having another baby! Don't get me wrong, I definitely feel pregnant, but thinking about having a little baby while Seth runs around the house just seems so surreal.

Everything went well at the checkup, they are pretty straight forward - heartbeat, measurement and questions! My feet have begun to swell, but I can't complain. With Seth they started swelling much earlier and were unbearable. Now it's typically at the end of the day, when I'm making dinner or such. They start to itch and it reminds me to sit down : ) Little Lucas is a very mobile baby. There are few times when he isn't moving, which I am very thankful for, but it also brings about a ton of braxton hicks which can make the simplest tasks difficult.

Needless to say we are ready to meet this little guy! We discussed things like induction at my appointment yesterday. Pray for us as we consider what is right for our little family! 

Our weekend

Our weekend was filled with me getting spoiled. 

Friday when Jeremy got home from work we started chatting about what we wanted for dinner. We always have these great ideas of places we want to try, until we decide to go out and then we can only think of the same old places again. I was in the middle of searching for a new idea that would also work for Seth when Jeremy told me that he should probably mention that Seth would be staying home and he'd be taking me out on a date : ) Those are the best secrets ever!!! We ended up going to a burger joint that we have only ever been to once before, but LITERALLY have the best burger and fries I have ever had in my life. Then we went and watched the movie 'Logan'. I told Jeremy my pregnant self couldn't handle watching 'The Shack' (I'm not even sure if my Mommy self will be able to watch it) - but I guess you know you're pregnant when you end up crying at a Wolverine movie, too! It was the perfect night none-the-less. 

Saturday morning my friend threw me the most wonderful shower.

She made my favorite veggie pizza and these adorable tootsie pop flowers since I could eat a bag of tootsie pops every day lately! 

I'm so thankful for her and everyone who was able to come celebrate baby Lucas with me <3 I just wish we had gotten a group photo! 

The rest of the weekend was filled with my boys. Seth's recent obsession with coloring had me break out our sidewalk chalk. It was a beautiful weekend to sit outside and watch his creativity go to town.

 

Jeremy doesn't have class again this week, so life is good : ) You'll hear from me again later this week after our baby appointment!
Happy Monday!

Coloring

Our little man has become quite the little coloring fanatic. I used to make him do it for cards and such, but he never cared for it. Now he asks multiple times a day and takes it quite seriously! 

His 20 month masterpiece : ) 

I've never seen someone his age color for as long as he does and use as many colors as he does! 

Hello :)

I'm getting this posted way later than I wanted, but nonetheless...

Last week was grocery time. This trip gets more adventurous and exhausting each month : ) We took off sometime in the morning and hit up our usual spots - this time included a trip to Sam's club to stock up on some bulk items we needed. Typically Seth eats lunch at 11:30 and is down for a nap around 1:00. Well, we didn't leave our last store until 12:30....The line I picked at Walmart (which of course was the wrong one - I thought of you, Dad) was right next to the $5 movie bin and The Lorax caught my attention. Seth was starting to get restless just waiting in line, so I grabbed it for him to look at and we ended up getting it. Once we got home, had lunch and went down for nap it was close to 2:00 so when Dada got home and Seth woke up, I stuck in the movie. I have never seen him sit still for so long! Dada sure enjoyed the quiet snuggles instead of his usual go-go-go with ball time : )

We had a play date with one of Seth's best buddies, JJ. I know I've talked about him and his mom Rebecca on here before. This is the first time that JJ was really able to keep up with Seth, chasing each other around the house and having an absolute blast.

I could have watched them all day long! 

Rebecca and I just sat here and laughed at them.

Seth's imagination is growing and I love watching that happen. He has a little kitten figurine from his Daniel Tiger set that he has become obsessed with. The other day he had her lying on our fireplace and kept running into his bedroom, pointing his fingers and "talking". He'd run back out and go to her. Back and forth, back and forth. Then he came out with a toy pepper, blew on it to make sure it wasn't hot and then preceded to feed her. Jeremy and I were cracking up. Of course, as soon as he noticed us, he was done : )

He's become quite the snuggler lately and has started a new and very strange obsession with my legs and feet - always wanting to snuggle them. He loves snuggling with his brother already and continues to love being "tickled". He will regularly ask for me to rub his back or belly : )

We had a good weekend! I got a little bit of girl time with lunch and Beauty and the Beast on Saturday with a friend and then we soaked up family time. We've been spoiled with no college classes the past two weeks, but it's been back to reality this week. One little boy has surely noticed and is not a fan, constantly calling for his Dada. We all look forward to the day when that will be done with!
