A Game of Telephone

So, last Thursday my team couldn't wait to tell the students that "Mrs. Lucas is going to have a baby in September"! Together we decided that we would play a game of telephone with the kids that have done ALL of their homework all year long. It was fun to see that kids' faces as the message went down the line! The video shows just the end of the line when the message was shared! ENJOY! :)

Stubborn or Content?

After our visit to the doctor yesterday Matt and I have to ask ourselves, are we having a stubborn baby or a content baby. The lil' Lucas looks great! Two kidneys, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, a beating heart, a stomach, a nice curved spine, ribs.... our little bean has become a baby! It was a relief to hear that our lil' Lucas is developing well and weighing in at 11 ounces! After finding out it was looking good we were anxious to hear the sex!

After moving from my back to my left side to my right side and drinking a kool-aid drink we couldn't get it to move it's legs. Katie, the ultrasound tech, was determined to find out what it is for us. Ultimately she was not able to get a good picture of the unmentionables, but with the glimpse she did get she is 80-90 percent sure it is a GIRL. It looks like PINK and BOWS for Matt's future. Should I teach him how to make piggy tails yet? :)

Next time I go to the doctor, June 8, my nurse practitioner said if I ask to see her she will take another look at lil' Lucas to confirm Katie's initial thoughts! Maybe we will hold off another month on the room decorations... I think I am going to go neutral anyways! We are just hoping she is just content in her position and this isn't the beginning of a stubborn life! :)

Below are some pictures from the utlrasound. It was hard to pick a picture where you could see her really well. I did the best I could! The first picture is of her whole body and the second picture is of her feet. Aren't the footprints cute?

Welcome

So... Welcome to our new blog. One of my colleagues introduced me to the blogging world and with the upcoming addition to our family, I thought this would be a good way to share what is going on in the Lucas family with our family and friends. Hopefully this will be easy to do. So far setting it up has been fairly easy. It is a good thing I am somewhat tech-savey. Thank you to my mom for suggesting computer and typing classes in middle school and high school!

Hopefully later tonight I will be able to post... BOY or GIRL! Keep your fingers crossed the lil' Lucas lets us see the unmentionables! :)
