26 weeks

Everything is going good over here at 26 weeks, not much has changed since my last update so I'm not going to do a full one. My back pain seems to of gotten a tad better if that is possible, still cant move at the end of the day but who needs to, carrying around an eggplant will do that to you! Baby boy likes to MOVE especially at night, there is some serious karate going on in there!

Every ounce in me loves my baby boy more than words can describe but a part of me does feel somewhat guilty... a friend of mine due just a few days before me just delivered her baby girl this week. Weve joked about being hospital roomies, our kiddos dating, and swapping babies, but in all seriousness I cannot stop thinking about all that they are going though and the long road they have ahead. Please pray for my friend Joy and her family and her sweet new little miracle Adison Jae.

Some photos of what baby boy and I have been up to at 25-26 weeks

work, work work! work is crazy and Will has said the past three mornings, momma stay and play... breaks my heart

Loved my sundresses, but something about being snuggled in a sweatshirt is nice :)

Sprinkled waffle bowel from oberweise, nuff said.

Kisses and loves from big bro William, I'm pretty sure he things my protruding belly button is the actual baby we speak of. He has to kiss it RIGHT on the belly button.

First trip for baby to the pumpkin patch, what fun!

A fun family day

All aboard the Wilson train for a fun filled 2nd birth DAY!

favorite game, he woofed and barked along with the dog.

Williams actual birthday fell on a Wednesday, I was working from home, and now that Luke works from home full time I asked if he'd take a couple hours with us in the morning to do something fun. He was right away on board. We went to Will's 2 year well visit at the doctor together which was nice for Luke to be there. Stats: 31.5 pounds  86%  35" tall 84%  One shot and NO tears later it was off to the transportation museum. I've been wanting to take Will, he loves trains and there is one there you can ride before it gets cold. He loved riding the choo choo and playing in the big imagination room. But boy was getting worn out, we picked up his favorite meal from McDonalds for lunch and went home for a nap.
And nap he did about 3;5-4 hours if I remember correctly, Momma and Dada got a lot done and when dinner time rolled around we loaded back up and were off to chuckie cheeses! I didn't know how much he'd be able to do, but he was thoroughly entertained playing games with dada and seeing all the different sights, we'll definitely be back.
I had a really fun day with William, and I hope he did too!

singing happy birthday to my sweet two year old william lucas

My little side kick and I :)

My mom stayed over after the party, we played, cleaned up, and chatted... at one point we looked over at the table at this is what we found, a completely partied out little boy.

waiting for the singing to begin

We TRIED to get another good pic of all the kids, but we were wildly unsuccessful!

Super Will/ Luke!

another pooped party man.

The plan was to do it easy this year, make it easy on momma and her aching back, and we did a big farm themed party last year for his first birthday.  I decided it would be best to do a small family get together and then have some friends with kids over the next day to play/party... While I kept it as simple as can be, it was still a lot of work for this 6 month prego momma {and her aching back} But it was well worth it to see Will play with his favorite family members and friends and have a fun filled party weekend. Both days when he woke up from nap, I would go in and say hi and he would say "party!" or "gump!" which after multiple guesses we found out meant JUMP, he loves his new jump-jump!
Something I thought I would never say is, I wish the song, Happy Birthday was longer... those were my favorite moments, watching the people gathered around singing to my sweet boy and him soaking in all the excitement and attention.
Thanks to all who celebrated Williams special 2nd birthday with us, it means more to me thank you may know.
NOW... how do I tell people all this boy needs is money for college and haircut giftcards for Christmas... LOL

My 2 Year old William Lucas

 

 William, Will, Bug, Bubba, Buddy, Baby, Love bug, 

No matter what I call you, you are my sweet love, my first born and truly the light of my life. I cannot look at you without completely lighting up, you have shown me what it means to be a mother and more importantly you have shown me what life is all about. It feels like yesterday when they placed you in my arms and my world was forever changed. I've spent the past two years learning how to love and be the best momma I can possibly be and I will spend the rest of my life fulfilling that role for you. 

You make me laugh all the time, either by a simple silly face or your hilarious personality. You copy cat everything Boomer does, so funny my little comedian. You have special mittens you put on naked after bath time and dance around like a maniac, only you. You also know how to love... pure love. If you see me sad you immediately drop everything to make sure I am okay, you really make sure. You also really care about your friends and other people, talking about them, remembering whose toys and clothes are whose, and asking to call people all the time just to tell them you love them. You remind me of so many people, mostly myself, your daddy, and your papa. Always double checking everything like momma, having a carefree sense of humor like dada, and you think of everything just like your papa. Some of my favorite moments in the past year were, Christmas and Easter, you really "got" it this year and enjoyed the festivities, our trip to Florida and to see Elmo, and how much you've grown, its amazing what a different person you are from a year ago. You can now hold conversations, play games and with toys like a big boy, and you really understand things. You simply amaze me everyday, God got it right when he made you...

my one and only, perfect, wonderful, you.

I do my best to keep this blog updated, as well as photos and videos for you, and little letters like this, I hope that if something were ever to happen to me you will get to read these and look back at these wonderful times with me.

meeting you.

your first birthday

your 2nd Christmas, so much fun!

a special family day for your 2nd birthday
