I thought I’d add a quick update while Luke is resting (not sleeping, but rolling around in his bed counting, making animal noises, etc). Now that I am finally back on line and able to re-connect I’m trying to think of interesting stuff to include in this update. We are still in a waiting cycle for stuff to go through with the house. We got some good news this week that things are finally progressing but when it will all actually be sorted out, I’m not sure. We’re basically waiting on the bank to approve bids for companies to do the rennovations that the inspection said the house needs.  We also are trying to figure out what to do about getting a bigger vehicle. We need to decide what to do with one of our cars (sell it and how to go about it, or trade it) so that we can pay cash for something else. Our goal is to be a no car payment family. 

I am still “sick” as in I will vomit incessantly if not on my meds (and sometimes even if I am). Most foods still don’t appeal to me at all. I wanted steak so last night we used the gift card that the church gave Kevin for pastor appreciation and went to Outback. All 3 of us really enjoyed that. Luke can eat his weight in that delicious bread.  Steak and sushi (cooked, of course) are about all that are appealing to me lately. Not that I get either very often!

This past weekend we went to Vero Beach and saw Kevin’s extended family. We had a wonderful time and Luke got his first look at the ocean since he was 3 months old. He kept saying, “Ocean, Ocean!” He loved looking at it from a distance but got a little nervous up close. We recently took Luke for his 18 month appointment. Keeping him contained in that little room was an experience. I made the appointment for a Friday so Kevin could go with us and help.  Luke was talkative as always and the doctor was shocked when Luke said, “Bye Bye! Thank you!”  “Doctor” is one of his new favorite words, though, so it must not have been too bad of an experience for him.

The countdown is on now for Nov. 16, which is when we will hopefully find out if Luke is having a little brother or sister! We will be heading up to NC for Thanksgiving and will have family coming down for Christmas so it will be a busy few months and we are looking forward to them!

Here are some pics at the beach. I’ll post one highlighting my growing belly…although if I grow at the rate I did with Luke no one will be seeing anymore pictures in 2 months because there won’t be any!
