Nesting

     This past week I have hit major nesting mode. The kids (especially Noah) have both been a huge help in Mommy's various projects. Noah and Halebop are so excited for baby Lucas to arrive. Every day Noah rubs my belly and has a conversation with Luca Bear. I can't get over the amount of excitement in this house while we wait for our third little one. 
     I am looking forward to my baby showers, as I have been very blessed with friends and family who believe in celebrating every child that the Lord blesses us with. :-) I can't wait to see all the cutesie newborn things again. Even though Hales is only 17 months, it seems like an eternity since we had a newborn in the house. 
     Today I started in the backyard and cleaned up all the toys that were scattered around everywhere. Then I moved inside to the kids' playroom and we went through every single container of toys. They helped me to throw away the broken ones and set aside the ones they wanted to donate. Then it was upstairs for lunch, a bit of cartoons, and off to bed for naps. While they were napping I finished cleaning up around the house and finally sat down to eat my lunch and have a bit of a break. Now I'm considering all the things I need to do for when Lucas arrives...washing another load of his clothes so they will be clean and fresh when we bring him home. Also I need to get a start on packing the diaper bag, which most people would say I'm jumping the gun on, but hey, it gives me something to do and it will be done when I'm 40 weeks and too huge to breathe...let alone bend. :-) 
     Well, it's off of here for now. I have an upcoming ultrasound on Friday of this week so be on the lookout for pictures. We are praying little one cooperates so we can get some full on face shots! 

Through the Lens

     What an amazing Saturday!!! The weather was absolutely beautiful and the kids were well behaved; which is ALWAYS an A+ in my book. :-)

28 Weeks

     Today I am 28 weeks but looking more like 40 weeks. :-)  I'm thinking that Lucas Bear is going to be quite the little chunker...I'm going to take a guess that he will be 8 1/2 lbs at birth; we shall see!!!
