"Dook Mommy, moke!"
The best bus driver - he always honks at Luke when we are outside!

80 Degrees in April???
We'll take it! Too bad it didn't last!
After church Sunday we headed to the mall for our mandatory Easter Bunny visit. Luke has been talking about the Bunny for a long time now. He gladly climbed up on the chair and then asked us to take a picture. Wally got a picture with his phone while we were waiting for the lady to be ready. Luke just sat there looking rather disgusted saying "take picture, take picture".
Then we hurried home to enjoy the weather. Well, actually, Luke fell asleep on the car ride home (10 minutes), but didn't stay asleep when I brought him in. It was as if he knew it was way too nice outside to take a nap. So it was a napless day, with a major meltdown beginning around 4:45, and ending with bedtime at 6:45 (the earliest he has EVER gone to bed!). In defense of Luke, he had a long weekend with the late night at the Happ's on Friday night, the baseball game on Saturday that resulted in napping only from the 7th through the 9th inning, and then no nap on Sunday. I guess the meltdown was warranted (this time!).
Here are some pics of our 80-degree fun!

Saturday at the Ballpark
Let me start this post by saying WE ARE CUB FANS!!!
However, Wally's games were cancelled for Saturday because of too much water on the fields and the Athletic Director offered Wally 4 free tickets to the Sox game that afternoon. He is a Sox partial season ticket holder but couldn't go that day. So...as hard as it was going to be for me to say my first MLB game of the season was a Sox game, I knew that it was going to be a perfect day to be at the ballpark. I called the Lenkaitis' (who are Sox fans) to see if they were interested in coming with since we had 4 tickets and around 1 PM we headed to U.S. Cellular Field.
Luke was a lucky boy who got 2 baseballs! One was from a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays and the other from a grounds crew worker.
Ball #1
Ball #2
The one good thing about this ballpark is the kids section. Although Luke was a little small yet, we had him in the cages practicing already! The helmet was a little big :)
It was a fun day with Charlie and Jes (even if the Sox did win)!

Boys Club - Together Again
Last night we headed over to the Happ's for Chris' birthday celebration. Everyone from 'home' was able to make it along with all of the boys! Let me just say it was so fun to see everyone, but it was crazy!!! Toys were all over and could be found flying through the air at times!
There was an attempt to replicate the "boys club" picture taken last October. My child wasn't really having it!

A couple of cute pics of Connor & Luke and then of some of the fun & chaos!
We also celebrated Blake's 4th birthday a bit! (Who bought him these swords???? ::as I lower my head in shame::)
Way to juggle it all Jules!
Winding down a bit - all of the kids were up past 10 PM!

It's Been A Long Week (Baby Update)
It's been a long week, but it's over and all is well!!!
It all started with a voicemail from my doctor last Thursday. She asked me to call her, but by the time I got the message their office hours were over so I had to wait until the morning. I knew though that something wasn't good. I had my last ultrasound the Friday before and while the tech said everything was great, I knew my doctor wouldn't be calling me to tell me that. So let's just say last Thursday night was awful - I was bawling expecting to hear terrible news.
It was finally Friday morning at 8 AM and I could call the doctor's office. My doctor mentioned that the last ultrasound I had showed a decreased amounts of amniotic fluid around the baby. She said the baby was measuring perfect, but that we needed to follow up on this just to be sure all was well. She said she wasn't too concerned and that it was most likely just bad measurements. She referred me to Maternal Fetal Medicine in Orland for another ultrasound. She said to try to get in early in the week since I would be meeting with her for my scheduled appointment on Friday morning. The first available appointment wasn't until Wednesday...uugghh!!!
All morning, day, and night on Friday there were a lot of tears. I started over-analyzing everything. Was the baby moving as much? Am I drinking enough water? Both Wally and my mom were sure that everything was going to be fine though and said if the doctor was really concerned, then she would have had me go in right away. So I tried to focus on that and think good thoughts and say lots of prayers. It took a looooonnnngggg time to get to Wednesday afternoon.
Wally was able to come with me and it was so great to see the baby again together. The tech was really great and showed us everything and said she thought everything looked fine, but the doctor would be in after her to check everything out. I wasn't expecting to find anything out at this appointment. I thought they would just send everything over to my doctor and then I would have to wait until Friday to hear. So I was thrilled when she said the doctor would be scanning me also and checking the fluid level - he also said everything looked great! Wally and I were both so relieved!
So here were are on Friday! I had my appointment this morning and my doctor just reconfirmed that all was well and she has absolutely no concerns! Then it was off to my glucose tolerance test (gross!). So fingers crossed that I pass that and hopefully it will be smooth sailing to the end.
Here are some stats:
Baby's heartrate: 158
Baby's weight: 2.2 lbs (in the 53rd percentile - so perfect!)
My weight gain: 18 lbs. I thought for sure I crossed the 20 lb. mark - soon enough!
I am feeling really great! My back has not been bothering me as much - I think it was the position of the baby before - and I still have quite a bit of energy. I think it really helps having to run around after a 2-year old versus just coming home from work and parking myself on the couch like I did last time. I am sure the aches and pains of being in my 3rd trimester will hit soon enough, but for now I am enjoying the fact that I have a healthy baby, a beautiful, fun 2-year old and am feeling awesome!
Here I am - 1 day shy of 27 weeks!

Luke v. TV Stand Shelf
Unfortunately, Luke wasn't the winner :(
This is what it looked like this morning...
It was looking much better as of this afternoon.
And here is the glass shelf that he hit his face on.
We were all in the living room last night and Luke was just running around and I guess he tripped and just went face first into the glass shelf. It is like it happened so quickly, but yet was in slow motion.... He immediately went to the fetal position and started crying. I ran over to pick him up and blood was gushing from his nose/mouth area. This immediately freaked both Wally and me out. We weren't sure if it was his mouth or nose. Luke was crying really hard and we were doing our best to get him cleaned up. We were worried about how deep the cut was and if he broke his nose. I held Luke super tight and rubbed his back while Wally got him cleaned up. Then all of the sudden he said he just wanted his blankie and to watch a movie - so we did just that. He was definitely scared and hurt, but he is a tough cookie! Tougher than we are that's for sure!
The first of many blood gushes and injuries I am sure!
