Now that we are expecting #2 it seems that we may need a new vehicle. My Escape will only hold one more passenger (and that might be a squeeze) with two car seats. Typically, this would not be a problem as it's not often that we drive with people. But on rare occassions when say my parents come to visit, we would alway have to drive separate (and they might have to rent a car). What a pain. We are considering the Ford Freestyle with seating capacity for 6. I most certainly DO NOT want a minivan or a large SUV. Any other possibilities?
And to think that not too long ago, I was all cute and sassy in a little red convertable Miata. Now I am trying to avoid the Caravan possibility. Never will I be so "Soccer Mom!"

Party Pooper Part III
Well my Pampered Chef party is next Tuesday. I am starting to think that it is going to be very poorly attended as I have had less than a handful of RSVP's. And I was only able to invite a little more than half of the recommended number of guests. I just don't know 40 people here well enough to ask. I wish that I hadn't planned on doing this. Just for a cotton picking knife that costs $25. Maybe it's not to late to, pardon the pun, cut and run.
If anyone could use any Pampered Chef products, you can order them at: www.pamperedchef.biz/adriastoner and use my full name as the party host and I will get the credit. No pressure. Only if you feel sorry for me and need anything;-).
The very perky rep called me to see how it is going and told me how excited that she was about my party. I only wish that I could share her enthusiasm. Ugh, I'm a party failure.

What skill
Lucas is officially a walker now. It is his primary mode of transportation. Check him out: http://www.thelomonacofamily.com/videos/Lucas_walking_down_the_hallway.avi

Flu shot
So it seems that Mike has the flu. We need prayer fast. I don't know how we will be able to take care of Lucas if we both have it. And I can't imagine what it would do to Lucas' weight if he got it. Plus, it can be very bad for me to get it as it could greatly harm the new baby. Maybe I should have gotten that recommended shot. Is it too late to get it if I don't seem to have it yet? Please pray for us!
Updates
Today Mike and I both feel like garbage--Mike has a fever and was up most of the night. I feel like I am starting to come down with it, or at least don't feel great on top of the cold that I was already recovering from and being pregnant and run down any way. Lucas isn't napping for some reason. He's up and peppy, much to our dismay.
In two weeks Lucas will be one year old. He now weighs 17 pounds and is in the 0.8 percentile for weight. We saw a nutritionist today and I learned that I need to start giving him more snacks to eat (2-3 per day on top of 3 meals). We stopped and got fatty things on the way home, too, like breakfast sausage and bacon. It's been a very frustrating process, all the trips to the doctor, all of the seeming reactions from certain foods, all of the weight appointments where he reads low yet again. I hope that the bacon and sausage do the trick.

Poke
Lucas has a new fascination with eyes. He has been jabbing his fingers into mine lately which is somewhat cute and a little annoying, too.
On Sunday, though, he did something that could have been very dangerous (what is with this kid and walking on the wild side?!). He poked a dog, a very large dog, in the eye. Just stuck his finger right in. The dog could have bit his hand off or worse. It hardly flinched and didn't even growl. Oh, my son.

Scare
Lucas could have gotten seriously hurt or worse today because of a mistake I made.
We came up the stairs and I had my hands full with him and my drink (just water) so I didn't close the gate at the top of the staircase. I usually go back and do this right away, but didn't because we got distracted and started playing in his room.
I was reading him a book and a little into it he crawled out of his room and down the hall. I had shut all of the doors and thought that the gate was shut so I assumed he was ok. I continued reading the book to him thinking that he would be back any moment. After a while with no sound from him, I thought that I should check on my mischievious son. What was he up to now?
My heart stopped when I turned the corner and saw the gate wide open and no sign of Lucas. Then I saw him teetering on the top step trying to go down by himself backwards. Shaking, I quickly scooped him up and thanked God that he didn't fall. I hate that I was so careless.

Girl Prediction
I'm going out on a limb here and predicting that I am carrying a girl this time. Maybe it's motherly instinct, or maybe it is that I already have a boy and wouldn't mind a little sister for him. Who knows? A little brother would be great, too, though.
My girl name of choice now is: Eliana Faith Lomonaco.
Eliana means God has answered me or God is Lord.
We would probably call her Ellie for short. Do you like it?

Napless
I have been hugely exhausted lately, and for some reason Lucas doesn't want to take his naps. It is killing me! Just sleep already, kid.
On a positive note, the other morning he slept in until 7:30 am. I forced myself to stay in bed to take advantage of it. So nice and unusual.
