6 Months and Counting

Well, we're 27 weeks now and have decided on a name for our sweet baby boy. He'll be named Lucas Michael Todd. Lucas means 'light' and Michael means 'who is like God? or gift from God.' I love that! We're so excited and enjoying watching him grow! Lucas probably weighs about 2.5 pounds and will gain half a pound each week for the next 10 weeks. He has doubled in weight from a mere 4 weeks ago!!! Lucas is most likely about 15 inches long already! Lucas can now hear both Mommy & Daddy's voices (although Daddy has to get close to my belly). Lucas can even taste the foods I'm eating, so now's the time to eat extra healthy.

Most nights around bedtime, Lucas starts his Tae Bo routine. :) He's a big kicker and it's been fun for Michael to get to feel him kick too! Lucas' eyes have now started opening too! I can't wait to see what color they are.

We're so excited to go for our 4D ultrasound this Thursday! This ultrasound is supposed to show a LOT of detail, so we're anxious to get a sneak peak at Lucas! We're just hoping that he's in the best position so that we can see a lot. We'll certainly post a picture once we get one.

I've been feeling wonderfully too! I think I'm one of THOSE moms...I just LOVE being pregnant. We're about to enter our 3rd trimester, so it's nice to feel like there's still time to enjoy the pregnancy before Lucas arrives. We're continuously asking our Father for wisdom to be loving parents to Lucas. It's CRAZY to think that we'll be welcoming this little boy in just 3 months! How wonderfully different our lives will be! I'll post more at the end of the week after our ultrasound.
