Presenting Lincoln Samuel!!!

How adorable is that? I know you are all frantically awaiting pictures so I thought this would hold you over for a minute or two. Lincoln was born at 9:02am on February 12th, 2010. He weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces. He was 18 inches long and has a beautiful head of black hair. Mama, Daddy and baby are all doing great. We're hopefully going home tonight. Lincoln can't wait to meet each and every one of you!

No more "Just Kidding"

It's official. No turning back now. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers! Stay tuned for BABY pictures, not just belly pictures!

Baby says "just kidding!"

So, yesterday I woke up with lots of contractions and called the doctor. They had me come in to the clinic and then sent me to the hospital because they thought I was in labor. After being hooked up to monitors for a while, they weren't sure what to do with me! They couldn't decide if I was in labor or not. The contractions were pretty regular, but nothing was changing since I was checked out at the clinic. Then, they gave me some medicine to help me sleep, which would also help stop the contractions if it was "false labor," but wouldn't stop them if it was true labor. Well, when I woke up I was still having contractions, but they had slowed way down, so we decided to go home.

The doctor was like really sure I would be back in a few hours to have the baby since she decided she thought I was in early labor, but here I am, still at home, and still having some contractions, but nothing like yesterday. The doctor and nurse both think the baby will be born in the next week or so, I guess we will see! I'll post pics of our impromptu hospital visit, and of our nursery soon! Keep praying for us as our little guy makes his decision about being born!

33 weeks!

Yesterday we had a checkup at the doctor. Everything is looking great! My midwife said baby is head down, and she thought he was about 5 lbs. already! She said "he definitely has some meat on his bones!" Knowing that he is already weighing 5 lbs makes me a little scared! But, at least we know he's a healthy boy!

My mom requested that I post a new pic of myself, so here is one from last week:

Me @ 32 weeks.

We also finished setting up our nursery, for the most part. I will post pics of it soon. We are pretty much ready for baby! Can't wait to meet him! Only 6 weeks away!

A few pictures from Christmas.

The Lueck family at Christmas. Next year there will be a new member!

I got together with my high school friends at Christmas time. It was really fun!!

Keenan bringing in our Christmas tree in SC. It was about 10 ft tall!
Our biggest tree ever! I loved it!

Our Christmas tree all decorated and lit up. Beautiful! I was sad to take it down.

Happy New Year!

Hi! Hope you are all having a happy and wonderful 2010! It's finally the year when baby will be born! Yeah!

Keenan was actually able to come home for Christmas, so we got to spend our holidays with friends and family. It was very nice, but very cold up there in MN!! I was pretty much frozen for 2 weeks!

My belly just keeps getting bigger and I am getting more uncomfortable. It is no longer comfortable to sit in chairs, I feel the best laying on my side or standing. But, only 8 weeks to go!! I think I can make it! Also, I now have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks, starting tomorrow. While I was home, I was blessed to have 2 showers thrown for me, one in MN by my sister and sister-in-law, and one in Madison, WI by my dear friend Claire. Both were a lot of fun and I got some great gifts! :) Now I just need to get going on setting up the nursery, which isn't set up at all. The crib is still in the box! I also need to get going and take my childbirth classes-I need to find out what I am getting myself into. :)

I will post pics soon from my time at home. I hope you all have a blessed new year! I know we will!
