Luke's Arrival

Our doctor has scheduled a C-Section for October 26th. For those of you who don't know, some doctors will perform VBAC's(vaginal birth after c-section), which Joel was a c-section; and some doctors will not do anything but a repeat c-section.

Our's will do a VBAC, but Brian would prefer that we have a c-section. He is not super comfortable with the potential risks of having a normal delivery. I don't want to go through the recovery again. But I trust the Lord will work it out, even with a c-section. So if he comes earlier than the 26th, we'll try normal delivery...if not, he'll be here October 26th!!! 28 Days & Counting!

Big Boy Bed & Potty

So, we've officially moved Joel into his new room. It was bittersweet! I'm so happy he's at the age he is at, but I broke down in tears when I said goodnight to him Tuesday night(his first night).

We've started potty training by getting him a sesame street seat and a few books that we've been reading over the last month or so. He really likes to go to the potty because it's new and he gets to flush. Monday, he said he wanted to go potty and he actually went pee-pee this time!!! Very exciting!

Forts & Family Fun

Brian has been building forts out of blankets for Joel and he LOVES it!!! He likes to get in the fort and scream "Come In, Come In" until one of us goes in with him. Here are a few shots...



Labor Day was a little gray and rainy, but still good enough to enjoy the pool and a cookout with the Stivers and Yargers.
