MORE ULTRASOUND PICS (3D)

Here is our sweet little love muffin!! It's crazy but I can tell from these pics that he looks JUST like his daddy!  And check out his FOOT!  It is almost the length of his shin!! The ultrasound tech was amazed by how huge it was!! Doug always told me that when he was young he looked like a bookend or a perfect right angle because of his huge feet.. hahahaha..  He wore a size 13 at a very young age!  Looks like little Lucas (aka bigfoot) will be just like his daddy. :)

ULTRASOUND

OMG I'm so excited I got this video to load!!  Here he is.. :)  You can see his cute little lips moving.. BTW  - the small earthquake towards the end is me laughing. :)

REGISTERING

So I finally registered for the baby shower yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was sooooo much fun and I was there ALL day (approx 6.5 hours)... the people working at the store were making fun of me when they realized I was STILL there... I'm very thourough. :) By the end of the day I realized that I was the person I hated!!!! hahahaha!  You know, the one with the 8,000 page registry list! Seriously, I just get overwhelmed when I go to buy a baby shower present and have to sift through millions of pages to pick something out... who knew that when it came to be my turn I would do the same thing!!!

THE CAKE REVEAL

Last weekend we had our friends over for football and the big cake reveal.  Although we were just pretending mine was a secret Jenn's really was a secret so it was a lot of fun!!  And who doesn't LOVE cake at 9am!! 

MY FIRST CLOTHING CASUALTY

You know your ass is growing when you go to sit down and this happens:

LOL :)  not so funny that these were one of my favorite pairs of comfy pants but nonetheless still so funny. I sent a pic to my mom as soon as it happened and her response was the best part: "good thing you weren't wearing butt floss!"  hahaha - I love that she calls it "butt floss"

So aside from my growing caboose I feel like I have a lot to share since I haven't posted in awhile.. For the past two weeks I've been able to feel our little Lucas moving.  It is such an amazing feeling.. in the very beginning it felt like he was brushing the inside of my belly with a feather - it actually tickled :)  and now I can feel more prominent moving - no hard kicks or anything yet but it's a little harder than the feather.. It's definitely not consistent yet either.. I will feel him all day one day and then the next day not at all.. I feel like as I progress through the pregnancy everything is becoming more and more "real"... at first I almost didn't believe he was in there but then I got to see him on the ultrasound and hear his heartbeat which definitely made it real.. and then my belly would shrink and grow shrink and grow and I would wonder if he was still there but now it's ALWAYS there so I know he's in there somewere :) and then add that I can now feel him moving and it becomes SUPER real..

So I've picked out an inspirational picture for how I'm going to decorate the nursery... beachy chic 

And God bless my sister in law and her husband!!!  We went to their house last night and this is what they sent us home with: a tub overflowing with baby clothes, a crib mattress, breast pump, infant bath tubs, bottle warmer, receiving blankets, diapers and a few toys... and this is just the beginning!  We are going back for round 2 sometime soon since this was all we could fit in our car. We are soooo incredibly thankful and feel so blessed to have all of these items passed down to us.  Little Lucas will know who to thank for the clothes on his back - and it won't be mommy! hahaha :)  Here is a pic of everything:

IT'S A BOOOOY!

Secret is out!!  (Lasted 3 days... hahaha.. not bad)  His name is Lucas Jae Horning. Doug picked out the name Lucas (which I think is perfect) and then Jae is my Dad's middle initials. Here are some pictures of our sweet little son from the last ultrasound :)

If you're like me and have a really hard time figuring out what is what, here is some help:

He's looking right at you!  You can see his little hand in the top right and his body is the circle on the left (you can see his ribs and spine).
