An update on all things Sessler!

Since my last update...

Luke's room is well on the way to being a nursery. Rob has put together the crib, dresser and hutch (the day he and my parents brought it home!) and we have a comfy chocolate brown chair. Rob also spent a day building a closet organizer in Luke's closet (which is already filling up with adorable clothes, and yes, of course shoes too!!) The bedding is ordered and some accessories/decorations have been picked out and are just waiting to be hung up. We have to wait until the bedding gets here to finalize our paint colors and can't wait to pull it all together! It is so fun to just go sit in his room...I love it even though it's not finished!!

Luke has become a very active little guy---except when I call Rob over to fell him. I think he has stage fright, or is just teaching his dad patience already!! Luke can be kicking like crazy and as soon as I have Rob come over he stops and goes back to sleep! Rob thinks it's a good sign and that Luke will be a good sleeper when dad's around! We can actually see him kicking now too...which always makes me smile (although when it gets harder I know it will make me cringe!). He woke me up last Sunday morning at 6:30 am and I watched him kicking until about 8:00. Funny thing...I didn't wake Rob up to watch Luke's party because I thought if I did, Luke would stop and Rob would wonder why I woke him up so dang early! So it was just Luke and I...partying it up at 6:30 in the morning on a Sunday. Guess I better get used to that!!!!

Here are the most recent belly pics...

The truly official belly shot!

Now, what's truly crazy, is that I take care of babies in the NICU that are the size of Luke...and some are even smaller now. It's so weird to look at the preemies in the NICU and think "WOW! That's what Luke looks like and that's what is inside of ME!" Now I just keep telling Luke he can't get any ideas from those babies at work...he still has a long time to keep growing before he can come out and play!
