Welcome to the Mommy's Mini Van Club!

Jeff bought me a NEW CAR the other day~a beautiful Honda Odyssey. We traded in the BMW for something that is more suitable for our family now! I always said that I would never drive a mini van and here I am, driving one and loving it! I actually learned how to drive AND took my driving test on my mom's mini van. This van has all the goods..leather seats, automatic doors on both sides, DVD player in the back for the kid(s), 3rd row seating (I had Jeff leave the back row down so I have room for the stroller and shopping bags!!!) , and all these other goodies I'm still learning about. We have everything ready in the car for Lucas...we don't know when he's going to decide to arrive...his car seat, the mirror, and the shade are all ready to be used!

Our Nursery

Our nursery is almost complete. We still have to hang the diaper holder that matches the bedding set...we are going to hang it from the ceiling to the left of the changing table (which I'm really excited about) and eventually one of these days I'm going to either buy or make Lucas' name and hang the letters over his crib. I saw some nice wood ones that would match his crib at Pottery Barn Kids so I might be getting those! :)

37 Weeks!

O my goodness!!! Today (black Friday) I am 37 weeks! Instead of shopping today, I'm relaxing in my beautiful home cuddled up in my cozy robe. I'm so cold and still not feeling that great. A few nights ago, I was woken up in the middle of the night with back pain and cramps!!!! Last night (Thanksgiving) I was extremely uncomfortable for most of the day!!! Last night, when I laid in bed I was getting contractions! They didn't feel good, that's for sure :) Can't wait for the REAL ones to come! Every night, it seems harder and harder to get comfortable without laying on my back! Pretty soon, our Christmas angel will arrive and I won't remember half of this! I really can't complain though, this pregnancy has been wonderful! I'll keep everyone posted for sure!!!!

36 Weeks and counting....

Hello everyone! Jeff and I had our 36 1/2 week appointment today. The doctor said that the cramping I was experiencing were the beginning of contractions! I couldn't believe it :) My cervix was completely closed last week and this week the doctor said that it is "soft" so we're assuming that next week I might start dialating...WOo HoO! The nursery is all set pretty much and I will be posting pictures soon!

Baby Lucas!

Last week I had my last ultrasound. Jeff and I were surprised to get to see our baby in 4D!!!! It was hard to get pics of him because he moves A LOT!!! It got a little blurry but you can really see him :) Here is our angel.

More Baby Shower Pictures

Baby Shower

Here are some pics from my baby shower. My mom and sister were busy making all the goodies, getting the usable decorations, and creating fun games to play throughout the day. My sister and mom made chocolate covered cookies that were molded into baby animals (my theme), a yummy teddy bear cupcake cake, and a delicious vanilla cake. The favors were personalized M&Ms that said "Mommy 2 B, Daddy 2 B, Baby Boy, and Baby Jeffrey"(these were ordered before we changed the baby's name) It was so nice to see everyone...friends that I haven't seen in a few months drove all the way to my shower to visit me and Baby Lucas. Thank you everyone for coming and all the lovely gifts that we got... I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. Those of you that couldn't come to the shower, you were thought of and missed. Can't wait for everyone to meet my little man!

Our One Year Anniversary

What a lovely night...we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Roy's Restaurant (where we had our rehearsal dinner) Our table was decorated with Hawaiian flowers, candles...our waiter brought us a beautiful dessert that said Congrats It's a Boy! and Happy One Year Anniversary! written in Hawaiian in milk chocolate. When we got home, we enjoyed just a bite of our wedding cake because we were so full from dinner. It was yummy! I was surprised it still stayed fresh..it tasted better than our wedding night (or maybe that's just because I'm prego)Here are some pics of our special night.

Isleworth

Jeff and I celebrated our ONE YEAR Anniversary on the 3rd of November. I now officially have the CD for my entire wedding photos! YEAH!!!

Our Halloween Housewarming Party

On the night after Halloween Jeff and I hosted our Housewarming Party. We had such a wonderful time and so did our guests. I took some pics of our friends/family that dressed in costume. It was such fun to see everyone and show off our home. My sister created my Pumpkin belly costume and she helped me make Jeff's poker outfit. She is very talented! :)

Maternity Pics

Here are some of my favorite pics that our good friend, Courtney took of us. Lucas and I had fun posing for the camera. Everytime the camera flashed, Lucas would kick! Too funny.
