Dominguez #2 (sweet pea)

Lindsey is pregnant! She's only 6 weeks, but I thought I would bring this blog back now. The name of this blog is Our Little Rasberry indicating how big Luke was when he was in Lindsey's womb... This little one is the size of a sweet pea. According to my baby apps, this little one's heart is beginning to beat mad his/her internal organs are beginning to develop. 

I'm supper excited! We've got another addition to our family on he way! I'm excited to see Lindsey and I grow as parents and as a married couple. I'm excited to see how Luke reacts to the addition of a baby brother/sister. He's going to be such a grata big brother. 

I feel blessed. Our family is. I complain a lot--about my job and lack of traveling. That's all nothing. Life changes. My jobl'll probably change. I'll have other opportunities to travel.

I'll keep up with this blog and remind Lindsey to write in it, too. 

Bye, for now. 

I Love You!!!!!!!!!!!

Its your birthday! You're 30! Words can't express how much I love you! I hope you feel special on the first day of your 30s. I'm honored to see what changes your 20s have brought--wife, amazing mom, I'm so excited to see what your 30s will bring.

So, its Thanksgiving, it's also your birthday. I'll see you in a few hours! Well sing happy birthday and we'll eat turkey (not in that order). Then heck! We'll even drink a glass of wine. A toast! To you!

Our Prize Pumpkin

I was looking back at Luke's baby blog, and this post specifically New Ultrasound Images. How things have changed! The post was written on Lindsey's birthday, November 28, in 2011. Two years later my questions about the color of his skin, eyes and hair have been answered. He's now much heavier than a pound. And he's grown from the size of a raspberry to the size of a prize pumpkin. Interestingly enough he loves raspberries and can eat many of them in one sitting. So, just an update, I was correct that he has brown eyes and his hair is curly.

Luke!

Haven't posted anything on this blog since our wonderful Luke was born. He's now 91 days old and he is beautiful! He's napping right next to me at this moment.

This morning I gave Luke a bath. He loves his bath times. I wrapped him up in his baby towel and he gave me the cutest grin.

I love my son so much. He and his mom are my world.

Right now we're trying to introduce the bottle. He's still getting the good stuff (breastmilk). The first day he didn't care for the bottle at all. But the second day was a different story. He took it pretty quick. He still doesn't like formula, but that's fine for now.

Almost There

Less than a month away. We will hold our little son. We have no idea how we're supposed to feel right now. We don't know what to expect.

We've taken one birthing class where our teacher explained to to us when to go to the hospital and what to expect as far as pain during delivery. (Lindsey's pain. I'll be in pain for her.) She also demonstrated what birth is going to be like with a little doll, some fake hip bones and a uterus made of yarn.

Little man, we're ready to meet you. You're going to radically change mine and your mother's lives. We already love you.

Countdown to B Day

Gosh.....Where to even begin?  We went to the midwife's a few weeks ago and we have another appt. this coming Friday and everything seems to be going by so fast!  Luke is growing and kicking harder than ever and although my midwife said I've only gained 6 ibs so far, I think that will be changing very soon, in fact after this week, I think it's safe to say its already in progress.  Just this week he feels like he's so much bigger, wedging himself into my right lunge and kicking me awake at night.  It's been hard but good if that makes any real sense. My hormones are running rampant and I am losing sleep more often, but aside from that, I know Luke is healthy and growing.  This week I have been sending out baby shower invitations and registering at Target, as well as at Babies R Us. Nausea is making a cameo appearance a few days lately which is not cool, but luckily its few and far between and does not last as long, nor is it as bad as it was at the beginning of the pregnancy.  No real crazy cravings right now, lately I've been wanting the usual.....pizza, mac and cheese and no broccoli lol and sometimes I really want fish and chips......odd.  That's pretty much the whole deal right now.  The countdown is on!!

55 More Days

This baby is coming! According to my app on my phone we have only 55 more days til little Luke comes. I'm not ready! I'm freaking out a little, I'm not going to lie. Lindsey emailed me the plan today for delivery date. This is real.
