BABY LUCAS: WEEK 10

This week the baby is the size of a prune and all of our parents have been informed of our big news!

Week 10! Officially 1/4th the way through the pregnancy and our last week before we will be traveling to sunny Cabo San Lucas! 

No new symptoms, however my nausea has been a tad stronger and my face is finally clearing up from the massive break outs I've had since being pregnant. Maybe my body is finally getting used to all of the new hormones? The lower part of my stomach is now hard! So I can officially "feel" the bump :)

At 10.5 weeks I was able to get an appointment for a blood test that will tell us the gender of Baby Lucas!!! It's a new type of test that looks for chromosomal abnormalities and also can see if there is a Y chromosome present. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who works for the company that got me an appointment last minute. I was hoping we would be able to do this and we will get the results when we return from Cabo!

I won't be sharing the news until we officially decide if we are going to have a gender reveal (since we definitely would want to share the news on here afterwards).

This past weekend Chris and I took a trip to Pottery Barn Kids to look at cribs and we both agreed on the style we want. We aren't purchasing it yet, but we decided to take advantage of the three-day weekend and make the drive since the store is about an hour away. 


We love how sturdy it is (solid wood) and that it will convert to a full size bed so it's a great investment that will hopefully last our babe until they head to college :)

When I first found out I was pregnant I had a million ideas on how to tell our family and friends the news. Pinterest and Etsy are filled with ideas and in the end we decided that the most important thing was to tell those we could in person. I did make a few of these wine tags that are a cute way to share the news.


We also made sure to take photos this week for week 10's bump. I'm really looking forward to bumping it in Cabo for 8 days! I'll try to get week 11 and a Cabo recap on the blog when we return.
