A Lovely Lewis Life

Joey and I have said over and over how great our weekend was. It was honestly one of the best weekends we can recall in a long time and I think it's because we didn't have any major plans and just kind of went along with whatever came our way. Sadly (for me) I didn't have my phone with me the entire time so I don't have a ton of pictures (also probably another reason I enjoyed the weekend so much) so many of them included in this post are from my mom or Joey. Friday our office closed early so I picked B up from daycare and we spent the evening (+ Joey) at my Mom's house. Beckett finally let my step dad and brother take him for a ride (or 100) around the yard on the lawnmower and he thought is was the greatest thing ever.

Beckett and her little girl Reagan love each other and had such a fun time playing in the water a...

This could possibly be my last update. If I make it to 39 weeks then I'll probably do one then just for my sake but I know I won't have a 40 week update because we'll have already met him by then! Sorry for the picture overload in this post. I haven't shared all of my maternity photos and I love them so much! I'm glad we took a chance on the weather this day and went ahead with them. I didn't want to be any further along (I was 33w3d) and risk the chance of either not getting them or me being puffy and not happy with the way I looked. Beckett was a DOLL and many of the pictures he's in were the result of him getting jealous that Joey was holding my hand or kissing my head, so totally unplanned. haha I'm so glad we have them!

The time has come for me to start getting things prepared for my hospital stay with Baby # 2 (even though the date is already scheduled, he could still decide to come early). We had our bags packed about 3 weeks before Beckett's due date, with a note on top of things we needed to pack at the last minute (make up, hair stuff) and though I'm still about 5 weeks out from my due date, I know it's time to start getting things ready. I'd rather have everything sitting by the door for a few weeks than to have nothing ready to go and be in a panic. When I was pregnant with Beckett, one of my sweet new momma friends (Hiiii, Kayla!) went to Target with me and helped me pick out what I needed to pack for my hospital stay. I was SO thankful that she was willing to help me because I had no clue what to pack! Of course I had searched the internet and read a million posts about what to pack but having a friend who had just had a baby a few months prior at the hospital I would be deliv...
