That's how I feel about keeping this blog updated. So much has happened since I last posted I just kept putting off an update because I didn't want to make the time to recap the last several weeks. If I really talked about all of the great things, it would probably take about 10 days of posts to get it all in.
So instead, I'm going to lump them all together, give everything a brief recap and try to start again with at least a quick weekly update with pregnancy pictures and the latest and greatest of our crazy man.
In the last 3 weeks we've been Up North, celebrated the 4th of July with my parents, had friends over to play in the baby pool and sprinkler, started a new class at school and found out that our sweet little baby is growing right on schedule and looks to be as healthy as can be.
It's been a pretty great few weeks.
Sadly, most of the pictures from Up North and the 4th are on Mike's iPhone (I really need to get a new camera) so those will have to come later.
Bubby saw his first movie Up North - Monsters University. He loooves the first Monsters movie and we thought it would be so fun to take him. I'd say it was a mixed bag of emotions for our little man; excited, happy, scared, tired, confused....he has such sensitive ears just like me and it was just so loud for him. I think if it hadn't been quite so loud he would have had an even better experience. When we got home, we took him to see Despicable Me 2. Similar experience but it was still so fun to take him.
Mom and Dad rode Harley to visit us on the 4th and we had such a great time. Watched the parade, took a couple naps, played outside....the weather was perfect and we sat outside and enjoyed it as much as possible.
We had our 20 week ultrasound on July 2. I was so nervous - way more than one should be really - but it all turned out as I had hoped. Baby looked to be right on schedule, healthy and moving around and the doctor even cooperated and didn't tell us the sex. I am relieved and so excited for November to come. I'm feeling good, Baby is kicking as much or more than Luke did (which is saying something) and I feel like I'm growing by the day.
Luke has started a new classroom at school. He's a big boy now and has moved in to the 2 year old room. He no longer rules the roost and seems like the baby of the class. It's louder, more crazy and things are just a bit different than what he's used to. And it's showing. Today probably goes down as the 2nd worst day of drop-offs ever. The first was the very first day I left him at daycare. He cried. I cried. It took me a good 40 minutes to get out of my car so I could make it to the bathroom at my office to wash my face. He was clinging to me, crying for me and Daddy. I peeked in the room one more time before leaving and he was sitting at the table with his lovey and monkey up to his face crying. I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to purge that memory from my mind.
But he ended up having a good day, albeit with some crying on and off. He was a bit of a wreck when I picked him up - definitely off his normal game. But I suspect things will be wonky for a little bit until he settles in. I am glad we're going through this now instead of closer to Baby time.
And that, folks, brings me up to date. I'll end with some pictures and the best video I've ever taken of Bubby. Enjoy!
Unbelievably adorable!!!
