My baby is 2 days old?

I find it funny that my little "Luke ticker" says my baby is 2 days old today :)
Wow.. I don't remember a thing about labor and delivery and I still have someone inutero kicking me lots and lots!
With both Josh and Matthew I was induced at 41+ weeks. We've all established that my uterus must be equivalent to Club Med. It must offer amazing amenities because no one has ever decided to leave it of their own free will. Rather they are forced out.. red faced and crying.
So next week I will see my doctor on Wednesday. He will assess how best to start the induction process and I'll either go in Wednesday at midnight or Thursday.
I'm feeling totally at peace with everything. I do honestly like the predictability and planned factor of induction. The rest I could live without. All that truly matters is a healthy, happy baby.

Josh will head to the ACCF Kids Camp Monday morning. Crazy to think when he returns he'll most likely have his baby brother to meet for the first time. I'm pretty sure I'll cry when he leaves for his first camp. I am so excited for him and I just know he'll have a blast. It's just hard to believe he's old enough to do things like this now!
We plan to love on Matthew and give him lots of attention while his brother is away. It will be a sweet time to give him our undivided love for his last few days being the youngest in the house.
I will be a new mommy once again, holding my sweet baby within one week. So exciting!!

Luke's nursery and a look back

I must say I LOVE how Luke's nursery turned out. It's almost complete with a few days to spare :) Ah, the plight of the third child. Please tell me we will someday get his baby book finished (and started) and he won't be our least photographed child.
I had the initial concept idea for the stripes and that was about all. I knew also what bedding we were going with. Brett did the rest. He coordinated the colors perfectly, did all the math involved and then all the labor. People love it and we keep hearing now calming of a room it is. My sweet Aunt is making a valance for the window. I also want to get a rug, some various decor items and soon his name will appear above his bed in painted wood letters.




This is big brother Josh's crib. So fun to have it back up again and waiting to be used....



And here is the same room 7 years ago. This was SUCH a fun room to do as well. I love the baseball bears theme and the great bi plane with Josh's full name written on the banner.



And last but not least is what Matthew's nursery looked like. Josh was under 2 when his baby brother was born. He also was REALLY into all things firetruck so that's where the theme idea originated. Brett made me leave the room while he attempted his first ever mural. I had no clue my husband was so artsy :)
The boys share this room now so there are bunk beds where the crib once was. They also are past the firetruck phase. Their vision now? A Star Wars room. My first reaction was no. I mean how long could this love of Star Wars really last? Then I lovingly remembered their Daddy who would probably be super stoked if I suggested a Star Wars theme in our bedroom :)
