Baby Oliver

We found out in July that we were going to be having a baby in March. Lucas and I were overjoyed and told both of our families as soon as we found out. We told my parents by giving my dad a birthday card that said "Happy Birthday Grandpa" because this will be the first grandchild on my side. My parents were both shocked and excited as well.

During my first trimester I experienced some morning sickness that was not fun but manageable that lasted until I was about 17 weeks. After that it has been fairly smooth-sailing with just the occasional heartburn and sleepless nights.

We found out at week 17 that we were having a .... boy!! We were so excited to hear that the Lord has blessed us with a little baby boy. Both Lucas and I thought we were having a girl but after the ultrasound we were sure it was a boy:) I have to admit, when I found out we were having a boy I was a little worried. I grew up with little sisters so I feel very unprepared for raising a little boy but I have been searching for different activities and games you can play with a boy so I am very excited now!

Well I am about a week away from starting my third trimester so we are on the final stretch of the pregnancy. I just marvel at the wonder that is inside of me right now. It is amazing to feel him moving around and kicking in my stomach and realizing I have a little baby inside of me right now! It is wonderful and such a blessing in our lives.
