Les Geaux Tigers!
This isn't exactly what I had in mind for Sebastian's first big LSU National Championship game. He has already outgrown his LSU onesie so I had to take a picture of him with it unsnapped.

Birthday ~ October 20th!
And just like that, out of the blue, I'm told our baby's birthday will be October 20th! I definitely wasn't expecting to be given the actual birthday at this checkup, but we were expecting the doctor to induce between October 24th and 28th. I never thought it would feel so surreal being told your baby's birthday. Then the realization that I'm about to spend my last weekend pregnant set in, which made me feel nostalgic and emotional that my pregnanacy journey is coming to an end. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have my baby boy in my arms where I can see him and cuddle with him over pregnancy any day. I'm sure once he is here I won't have any time to reflect on not being pregnant anymore and will be purely focused on the present.

S is for Sebastian
What the baby name book, 'A is for Atticus: Baby Names from Great Books' says about the name Sebastian.
From day one this was the only boy name in the running. When I was five weeks pregnant and on a 12 hour round trip drive to Louisiana to pick up Nathan and Bella with Philip's sister, I had already made up my mind that if we were having a boy his name would be Sebastian Anthony. The middle name is also Philip's first name and a name I thought went great with Sebastian. Aunt Bingle seemed to like it, his Daddy loved it, and we never looked back.

Baby Bliss!
It's been too long since I last made a blog post, but what better way to start it up again than with the news of the arrival of a baby due October 30th, 2011! Of course we are excited beyond words and I'm counting all my blessings for this opportunity to experience motherhood to its fullest.
I confirmed I was pregnant on February 23rd, 2011 but had my suspicions that I was pregnant days before. At this point I was already 5 weeks pregnant.
At 12 weeks we got the first picture of our baby (whom I was affectionately calling Poppet). And this is our babies profile, arms in the air above the head and apparently very active.
Finally at 19 weeks and 2 days we got to find out if our baby was a boy or a girl...and what a surprise for me, snakes and snails and puppy dog tails, it's a BOY!
Everyone, except a few people, told me they thought I was having a boy. But deep down I was thinking girl. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the last four children born in my family have all been girls (Hayley, Hannah, Beatrix, and Charlotte). Nonetheless we are thrilled to be having a baby boy and can't wait to meet our little man.
We also got a 3D ultrasound at 19 weeks and 2 days. His head is slightly tilted to his left. Both of his hands are in a fist and he appears to be sucking on them. Sweetness.
As for baby names, the only name we had come up with was for a boy. We had been throwing around girl names, but we were not set on any of them. A few days after finding out we were having a boy we went ahead and finalized our name...
Of course I couldn't wait to get his name monogrammed on something, so I ordered a pillow slipcover from Etsy monogrammed with his name and birth year.
Yes, this pillow was really meant for the last name of a family and the year the family moved into their house but I figured I could use it to establish the year Sebastian entered our lives.
Here I am with Nathan, Isabella, and Sebastian's ultrasound photos. Before the ultrasound technician told us what we were having, Nathan's guess was a girl and Bella's was a boy. When the technician said boy, Nathan said he wanted to change his guess to boy. He certainly didn't want to lose that one to his sister.
We have four more seemingly long months until Sebastian joins us and I'm already anxious for his arrival. Until then, I'm filling my free time getting prepared for this little bundle of joy.
