Luca's 30th Week of Life Celebration

Welcome to Luca's 30th Week of Life Celebration!  

On Saturday December 20th Luca turned 30 weeks old. 

We celebrated by having a sneak peek at him at Ultrasona, a local 3D ultrasound imaging center, with a few of our family and friends. 

No party is ever complete without yummy scrumptious cake. The cake was so scrumptious though, that it got eaten before we got a picture of it in full. And, yes, it was eaten by Luca. :) We are ashamed :( Ha!

The boy loves his ice cream cake and we were hoping a bite would get him to roll over so we could see him!

Here is a little peek into his ultrasound, recorded by Rachel's sister, Jessica. 

Luca's 30th Week of Life Celebration

Luca was "head down" and hiding for the majority of the scan. It was so beautiful to see him wiggle around and be able to share that with everyone there. He loved burying his face in his Mama and staying snug, so we weren't able to get any complete clear face shots of him. Even after cake and a little poking he did not want to move. In fact, he gave us this gem after Mommy rolled over to try and get him to turn...

Oye!!!!

But, as we've learned from previous ultrasounds, Luca has a way of knowing what he is doing. If he's hiding or burying his head....it's for a reason. So we just let him be. 

Ultrasona is letting us come back to finish a video of just Luca in his Mommy's belly. As soon as its complete we'd love to share it with you all! So stay tuned!

We got to briefly look at his profile and caught some sweet smiles and yawns :) Here is that sweet smile one more time... We just love it!

Afterwards we had a Sparkling grape juice toast to Luca and everyone else enjoyed their slice of cake.

We were so happy Ms. Shannon and her daughter Avery could join us. Shannon put on the Christmas fundraiser for Luca and has been such a cheerleader for Luca these past 7 months. We are so grateful for her and her wealth of love and support for Luca and our family. <3

We weren't prepared for the wonderful visit we got from these two. Check out week 29 to see their surprises for Mommy! We were so happy that Luca got to spend time with his Aunt Jessica and Uncle Greg. <3

Luca's Crazy Family :) 

Big Brother was not about to get his picture taken when there were toys to be played with and cake to be snuck and eaten. So instead of smiling, he chose to spit at the camera. 

Two year olds...enough said.

I know we say it a lot, but we feel we can never say it enough... Luca has the best family and the best friends surrounding him. We owe so much of who we are, what we are, and where we are to this incredible group of people and to all of you who are Team Luca Supporters. God is so good to us and speaks through all of you each day. 

YOU mean so much to us.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated Luca's Week of Life with us and thank you to those who sent us pictures that we can treasure and add to his scrap book!

We love to see Luca in so many wonderful places.
