Daddy Travels

Lliam and I dropped William off at post around 10:00 pm. on Monday. He arrived in Kuwait at 1:40 am. (our time) on Wednesday. He had a 4 hour layover in Ireland but other than that the trip was uneventful. He sends his love to everyone. He won't be able to contact anyone until he gets to Iraq. We just found out that he will first go to Camp Freedom 1, which is North of Baghdad in Baquba. He will spend half the year there and then go to Spiker for the second half of the year. His mail takes a bit longer to get to Camp Freedom so make sure you leave enough time for things to get to him.

Silly Boys

William and Lliam getting some last minute play time in. Lliam is really getting good at running and jumping.

Happy Halloween

After 30 minutes of the doctor pushing and pulling, me rolling from side to side, and Lliam yelling at him, we finally had to give up. This little boy was not going to move so we could get the pictures we needed. He even started opening and closing his mouth like he was crying or cussing depending on who you ask. We took pity on him and rescheduled for another day. This is him mid-cry. Not as cute as a newborn crying. Hehe.

Boy oh Boy

It's a boy!!!! Meet Lucas Eugene. We went in for our ultrasound and everything looks good. They said he was healthy and progressing well. He seemed big but not developed further than should be. Just a big boy... with big ears and big feet. Wonder where that comes from.
The doctor was trying to get all the pictures she needed and baby boy was not helping out. He decided he was going to curl up and didn't care what we did to him. The doctor ended up not getting any pictures of the heart so I have to go back in 4 weeks to get another ultrasound. Wonder where he gets the stubborness from? Hmmm... Other than that all was well. The projected due date is still February 28th.

Big Boy Room

We decided with the new baby coming we needed to do some rearranging. So we moved all the "baby" stuff into the hall room for the new baby and got Lliam big boy stuff. We chose a Spongebob theme so he could grow into it... plus Daddy really likes Spongebob. Grammy Cathy and Poppy gave Lliam the wall stickers. They are great. They can be removed without ruining the paint. I even got crafty and made his old toy chest into a bench with a comfy Spongebob seat. We are still shopping for a lamp to make the room complete. We put the mattress on the floor that way we didn't have to worry about him rolling out of a high bed. As soon as William put the mattress down Lliam jumped on it and started bouncing. Guess he isn't missing the crib. Lliam has all his books and toys in cubbies. Believe it or not he actually helps me pick up. As soon as we find out what baby number 2 is we will finish that room. It's like getting a new house with all the rearranging we have done.

Florida

We had so much fun going to Florida. William, myself, Lliam, Grammy Cathy, Poppy, Uncle Ben and Aunt Jackie were all there and ready to have a good time. We went to see Pirates Dinner show and My big Fat Grease Wedding Show. It was great. We also went to Orlando Zoo, Universal, Suessville, and Magic Kingdom. We really did have a great time. Lliam wore us all out. It took all of us just to keep up with him.
