Luca's Fabulously Fun... and eventful Week 34

Its your 34th week of life Luca baby and you are still in there cooking! Whew! 

We had a beautiful weekend this weekend so of course we wanted to spend it outside! 

 

We took you and Big Brother to downtown Saint Louis for lunch at the scrumptious PI pizzeria. Oh my word is it so yummy, and you sweet boy just loved it! You've really been getting into your fruits and veggies lately (finally, you are your mothers child!) so you enjoyed a big ol salad and then of course your pepperoni pizza. So Yummy!

 We then took you and big brother downtown to walk the Riverfront and to visit the Arch. We underestimated how chilly it gets near water and Mamas inability to climb the Arch's GIANT staircase. You and Big Brother wanted no such part in any of that. Then, the 3 glasses of water we had at PI caught up to us... so needless to say, our adventure was cut a wee bit short. We still got some fun little pictures with you though and made sweet little memories of visiting some of your home town staples.

   

 

That evening we had your wonderful 'Shower of Love' that your amazing GodMama threw for us. It was so perfect and amazingly beautiful. You had so much fun being spoiled by some of your favorite people. 

We will have another post full of pictures for everyone to look at all the fun and sweet mementos that were created for you! 

You've been getting lower and lower and Mama feels like you are about to fall out! Your contractions are picking up too. On Tuesday we had a bit of a scare and thought maybe your amniotic sac had ruptured or had a tear, so we spent the morning and afternoon at Saint Marys! Eeeks, what a scary moment. Luckily though, it was a false alarm and we were able to go home later that evening. Yipeee! Please stay put sweet boy. Pleaaaaaase!

Kisses from Big Brother, who loves you oh so stinkin' much. He cant wait to meet his 'Uca' in just A FEW MORE WEEKS!!!!

The next day we went to visit our wonderful Dr.Vlastos! We talked about our little scare from the day before, how our contractions were starting to become more frequent, how Mamas uterus is "irritable", and the already potential risk of going into an early labor with Mommy's two uteri . Its also getting very close (eeks!) to your delivery date... Dr.V, and the rest of us, are very nervous to take any chances of you coming any earlier than you are meant too. So, Dr.V put us on "Limited Activity". Apparently, Mommy needs to take on a much lighter load...stop lifting, bending, squatting, stressing, and reduce her crazy fun activity levels as a teacher of awesome 5 year olds, until you arrive. While Mama wasn't thrilled about the short notice of leaving her sweet little munchkins at school 7 days sooner than planned, we'd do anything to keep you cozy and snug until you are meant to come out. <3 We love you so stinkin much. So limited activity it is! 

We also got some cute little pictures of you while we there. Mama and Daddy cant wait to kiss those sweet chubby cheeks!

On Friday morning Mama, you, and Big Brother of course woke up naturally at the crack of dawn so we used it as a fun morning to take in some fresh air and get some yummy breakfast at a new place. 

This Mama sure loves her time with her boys. 

As we approach your due date in just two short weeks we hope you know how much you mean to us little guy. We are your biggest fans, biggest advocates, and of course love you to the moon and back... forever and ever. always.

Love,

Daddy and Mommy
