Lucas and Mommy Pics

Hangin out and Taking meds

We are just sitting here watching the today show. Christina and my mother's are here along with Christina's sister. She is on the meds and the nurse is upping it up 30-45 minutes. There has been no real progression as of right now so we are just hanging out. We will keep you up to date on how things are going,but right now its just hurry up and wait!!!

Getting started

We came up the the hospital last night for Christina to get induced. Yesterday they used a foley catheter to help her cervix dilate. This morning they have let her eat some breakfast and have started her on Potocin to help get the contractions started. Right now she is 3 cm dilated and in good spirits. We will see how that changes as the day progresses.

Room Swap

Lucas has a new big boy room. We moved him from the bedroom that he was in to what was the spare room. I spend all of last weekend cleaning out all of the things that we had stuffed in there and setting up his new bunk beds. I also had to paint the room. It was yellow and Christina informed me that boys dont have yellow rooms. It looks really good and he will have more room to play. His room will be turned back into the nursery for Mitchel.

All is still going well on that front. Christina is doing as well as can be expected. She is already fellin as big as a house and is getting tired more easily. I am just hoping that all goes well and the last 15 weeks are uneventful and stree free.

Baby #2 Update and Hunting Trip

We have had an eventful Thanksgiving holiday. We spent Thursday with Grandma and Popa eating until we could eat no more. We then set out for Santee, SC. There were plans for Lucas to go on his first hunt and have Thanksgiving with Nanny and Nana.

Friday we got up early and drove into town. We met up Papaw to have lunch and see his new house. After which, the boys went down to the hunting land to set up the dear blind that Lucas and Papaw were going to hunt in that evening. Lucas was very excited to go hunting. I am not an avid hunter and have never really handles guns but my Father in Law is. He had three girls so this is the first boy and they like hunting together. They got all suited up in their camo about 4:30 and headed out. We heard a loud shot as it started to get dark, but when they returned they were empty handed. Papaw had shot at a coyote(and missed, we think) that was ruining their hunt. All in all they both had a good time and plan to do this many times more in the future.

As for Baby #2 we have decided on a name and it is.......

MITCHEL DAVID

Mitchel is a unique name and David is from Christina's father. Christina also had a doctors appointment on Monday and all is well. Everything looked good and things are on track. I will post more about the baby when information comes in.

Two Wheeling

Lucas has learned how to ride a two wheeler. He has known for about a month now but i am just now getting a little video clip up. He saw another little boy in the neighborhood that was his age doing it and he had to learn. Christina taught him in about 2 days. Next thing you know he will be getting his drivers license.
