23 Weeks

Dear Friends,

I want to start off by saying Nick has now felt Lucas move and I've now seen Lucas move! What an amazing miracle I'm witnessing. He moves a whole bunch after I eat chocolate (as I've mentioned before), but it's literally like 2 minutes after I take a small bite of chocolate. It's nuts! The kid is a chocaholic:) I don't mind, though, because anytime I want to feel him move, I just slip a mini Reeses Peanut Butter cup in my mouth, and he goes to town. Well, I did this the other night and lifted up my shirt and I watched my stomach move!It was like a little something jutting out. I couldn't tell what body part it was, but it was amazing!

Nick loves to lay his hand on my stomach while we're watching TV at night. It's so sweet to see their little relationship growing already. This week, Lucas can hear our voices and Jovie barking. And it says that if we talk to him a lot, he'll recognize our voices when he's born! How amazing is that?! So, we talk to him all the time, even though we feel a little silly! It's also so cute because he moves right when I wake up and before I go to sleep like he's saying "Good Morning, Mommy" and "Goodnight, Mommy". Oh, I just love him like crazy ALREADY!!!

Also, some sad news....I couldn't find a papaya anywhere this week! Nick and I searched three different towns for one for my belly pic and couldn't find one anywhere! So, they must not be in season, so you'll have to wait til later this week to get another picture! We'll just skip Week 22!

Another little progress on the nursery...we got rid of the old lady gold fan in there and put up a new one. We're painting this weekend...so look at my Facebook album to see updated pictures! I love that it's starting to come together;)

Bye for now, but be sure to check out my beautiful cousin's blog to enter her giveaway! Caked
