A "first" purchase for three :)

Your Mama couldn't resist......
The fall decorations are out everywhere including at a small antique shop just down the road. And there were three little metal pumpkins hand-made just for my three little ducklings.

Mimi and Mama had a lot of fun shopping on Saturday. :) And it was officially Mama's "first" purchase for THREE (instead of two) little darlings.
I can't wait to put these out on the front porch in just over a month. Your brothers are waiting for you so they can "pick" who gets what pumpkin :)
Mama is so excited for her Baby to be here!

Pre-op Appt....Check!

Can't believe it! For the first time ever, your Mama made it to her scheduled pre-op appt. This is all very surreal :)
Each pregnancy we've had these appointments scheduled but Baby always comes days (or weeks!) before! Not this little one! You are happy as can be in Mama!!
Blood tests are all done, special bracelet is in place (and can NOT be removed for the entire weekend!), all elements of the surgery have been confirmed, and every member of the baby OR unit is now giddy that on Monday morning, they get to be a part of a very big surprise :). You make people happy who don't even know you yet! :) We are set to meet our little Baby!
And PS....this bracelet scares just about everyone when your Mama walks in to a store. The Baby belly combined with the hospital bracelet makes everyone think I am in full labor right then and there. Hmmmm.....clearly these folks have never seen a preggo lady in actual labor :)

Mimi made it!

For the first time in Leonardo Baby history :), your Mimi made it to Raleigh BEFORE you decided to make your official appearance. :)

Mama and Papa are so excited to have her here. And your brothers are in heaven! Ga will be following in just a few days. We wonder if you will wait around for everyone to be here?!
Your Mama and Papa just can't believe how happy you are in there! :)

August 11.....comes and goes :)

Your Mama was SO convinced you were going to arrive on August 11!! And just as you surprised us when you came down from heaven after the doctors said you wouldn't.....Mama's 38 week mark came and went on August 11 and you are nice and comfy. Even your Papa was up all night expecting Mama to tell him we had to go to the hospital. But you have your own plan in mind. :) We shall see if you come this week, early, or if you, unlike your brothers, decide to wait until your scheduled arrival on August 18.
Whenever you do arrive, we will be SO SO SO excited to meet you!!
We love you!
