I am so thrilled to report that baby Liam is doing great as is his mommy, Lauren!!! Things were a bit touchy there for a while but the last doctor visit proclaimed that Lauren does not have placenta previa, as previously diagnosed! Praise God!
She had also been bleeding quite a bit, which caused a bit of concern but that to is corrected! And if that weren’t enough, she no longer has to have a c-section to deliver Liam! Wow! When God heals, he does it good! 
So our little bundle of joy is due to arrive in the first part of August. I’m so excited to be a
grandma!!! I’ve been trying to keep control of myself and not buying all the cute little outfits I see. Lauren said that between what she and Brian got and what her parents already bought, she’s concerned that Liam would even be able to wear any more outfits.
I couldn’t help myself though. My kids love plaid; so when I saw this little plaid onesie, I had to buy it.
The other problem I have with getting him any clothes right now is that we have no idea how big he will be. At 19 weeks he was measuring at 19 weeks 6 days. Brian was 9 pounds 8 ounces but Lauren was a bit smaller, so who knows how big Liam will be. So, I’ve got no clue, right now, what size clothes to buy for the warmer weather next year. I guess I’ll just have to exercise some control and WAIT! 
Brian loves Star Wars. A couple years ago I saw the cutest little booties and I HAD to get them. So they’ve been in my closet ever since. Lauren saw them one day and I had to confess.
And look! They match the plaid onesie!
On Easter Sunday, Mike wore a button-up shirt and nice tie. We were at my parents’ house after dinner waiting for the others to arrive and Mike started acting really silly. He and Mom told me I need to get a picture of him dressed up, because it doesn’t happen very often. Then the silliness really ramped up.
Even Sean got in on the silliness! (These were taken with my phone and are not the best quality, but it documented the occasion good enough.)
On Christmas Eve, my brother-in-law, Mike, told us about this cool deal that a local florist runs. Basically you go in and buy a punch card for $20. This punch card entitles you to one small bouquet every month, free.
Mike bought a punch card for me for Valentine’s day. This week he brought home the third one. They last pretty long, about two weeks or so, but then they are spent!
Here is the bouquet he brought home this week. Thanks Babe! And thanks Mike for telling us about this neat deal! (Yes! My sister married a Mike too! It has made the last 17 years very interesting. )
Well, I guess that’s all for today! Have a great weekend!
Until next time, God bless,
Michele ºÜº
