A week to Remember...Week 28

Happy 28 weeks of life Baby Boy!

We have been SO BUSY getting ready for Christmas, having your shirt pick up, and your BIG Fetal MRI appointment this week.

As we were driving out to lunch on Saturday we had our very first encounter with.......SANTA!!!!
Oh it made you so happy!!! Mama LOVES Santa so maybe you were just feeding off of her insane excitement, but you were trying to kick your way out of her tummy to see him!
Here are some pictures of "you", Big Brother, and Daddy saying Hello. :)


We spent Saturday having lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings with Uncle Jason, Grandma Sue, and Cheeks. You and Big Brother had so much fun racing the race cars! You both loved pretending to go super fast! Vroom!!!


We had your shirt pick up on Sunday too! So many family members and friends stopped by to grab their shirts and see you. It was such a wonderful afternoon.




On Thursday we had your Fetal MRI and learned so much more about your sweet little brain and development. We met with a neurosurgeon named Dr. Elbaba and, again, with Dr. Vlastos. You have been doing such a wonderful job at keeping your sweet little brain intact. We are so stinkin' proud of you! We talked just a little bit about your birth plan and the day that you arrive. Its going to be a big day baby bear, so chill out on kicking Mommy's ribs and get some rest. Its just around the corner! Don't be scared though. Mommy Daddy, Big Brother and the world are cheering for you. We are fighting with you and are by your side every step of the way. But, most of all, if we've learned anything....its that we have God and our faith on our side. We are such a lucky family.

Luca was being a goof ball and not letting us get any pictures of his handsome face that day. However, he was in perfect form for everyone to see his brain. The doctors were impressed and, well, we were so proud of our smart cookie. He knows what hes doing in there! ;)

He also let us get a recording of his amazingly sweet and healthy heartbeat. We are always in awe of it and its strength. So much peace from such a precious sound <3



These are just a few of the warm wishes we got  for you on your Big Fetal MRI Day. We are so lucky to have so many people cheering you on!

THANK YOU for the pictures, messages, and phone calls on this big day. You have no idea how heart warming it is to hear your love and positivity for Luca and for our family. Jeff and I are so lucky and truly truly blessed to have you all on this journey. Your encouragement gives us such a push and empowerment and we are forever grateful. 



You went on some fabulous adventures too!

You went to the St. Jude's Marathon with Uncle Jacob in Memphis and you went to the 5K Hot Chocolate Run with Heather! We all know how much you love your chocolate, and apparently, your exercise :)

 



We love you to the moon and back baby boy...forever and ever. -Mommy and Daddy
