Luca's 19th week!

Happy 19 weeks baby boy!

The weekend of your 19th week of life was beautiful. We went to the Botanical Gardens and had entirely too much fun eating chocolate, decorating pumpkins, running through a maze, milking a cow, taking in the gorgeous scenery and being with great friends. You did a lot of resting that day, but little brother made sure to have double the fun for you both.                                

We've been rooting on the Cardinals and hoping they bring home a World Series...just for you!

This week, Papa Bear took you along to the game with his friend Steve. You cheered right along with them all night. 

On Tuesday afternoon we went to the game with Big Brother. It was so much fun! You had your first ballpark hot dog and watched oodles of fireworks. They made you jump and kick. I'm not sure if you were scared or excited...maybe a little bit of both. It was one loud stadium. :)

We were so thrilled to see the Cardinals win the series and have you there to experience it. Just another step closer         

Mommy and Daddy got to visit with a new doctor at Mercy this week too. He was very interested in all the research we've been doing. He was a sweet breath of fresh air and positivity. Hallelujah. He was willing to take a peek at your brain formation and give us some guidance and answer the dozens of questions we always have.

Have we told you how much we love you? These pictures always melt our heart. 

Look at how silly you are!

You always put on a show for everyone. You were a little sleepy on this day  (It was 8am and you aren't a morning person) but you still managed to give us a wave and play a little peek-a-boo.

You were very curious about all the news the doctor was sharing with Mama and Papa. Look at your little hand resting on your chin. 

We cant wait to kiss those toes!!!!!!!!

We were so HAPPY to hear that it appears you have every sweet little piece of your brain (Mommy and Daddy were right!) There doesn't seem to be any deterioration, which is a huge surprise. Your brain also appears to have split into 2 hemispheres! Beautiful news. :)

Mommy is going to write another post about the ultrasound for grown-ups to read later if they'd like. But, we just wanted you to know how proud we are of you. 

You are such a fighter.

We love you to the moon and back sweet boy- Mommy and Daddy
