We’re Having A…

By Courtney 55 Comments

This weekend was all sorts of fun, for plenty of reasons. We got to spend time with great friends, with each other, AND we got to share some fun and exciting news!

Sunday’s highlight was brunch with my college girlfriends. Plenty of delicious food and lots of time to catch up and chat about life.

IMG_5501

My, have those conversations evolved over the past 10 years!

Oh, and in case you missed it on the plate up there, that is one of my absolute favorite Cinnamon Chip Scones. I’ve been dying to make some, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity (aka, so they don’t ALL wind up sitting in my house for me to eat). Winking smile

I know there’s a bunch of you out there who love these, so if you haven’t tried them yet, promise me you will!

The highlight of our Sunday, of course, was our long-awaited Friendgiving. It was only planned about, oh, over 3 months ago, and was long overdue. But I’ll tell you this much…I think we all decided we’re going to keep the tradition going in January instead of November. Because, really, it was so nice to have something else to look forward to after the craziness of the holidays!

IMG_5447

Our friends Erica and Steve hosted this year, and Steve (being the master mixologist that he is) concocted up a delicious, non-alcoholic beverage for us preggos (since there’s a couple of us!).

IMG_5446

(BTW – I love their wine glasses – they were so cute!!)

And then, of course, there was the food. SO much good stuff…and this doesn’t even include the table of appetizers we had!

IMG_5450

I ended up making the cornbread (this recipe) and a crockpot spinach artichoke dip (this recipe) to contribute to the spread, and all turned out great.

Lucas was excited to see some of his buddies, especially his girl, Kaura. These two, I’ll tell ya…best buds!

IMG_5451

I made sure to take a little bit of everything, and it was all just so delicious. Having a turkey dinner in January makes it like, 100x better. Either that or I was just really hungry.

Next year, this crew of kids is going to be even bigger (especially since we were missing a couple on Saturday, too). We joked we’re going to need about 3 turkeys down the road just to feed all the boys!

IMG_5454

Then, shortly after dinner…it was time to have some fun.

IMG_5464

We didn’t go quite as all-out like we did with Lucas (I still love watching that video!), but our friends Kanika and Shaheen offered to pick up a cake to bring to Friendsgiving so we could share our exciting news with the whole group. Not only was the gesture incredibly sweet, but man, the cake was phenomenal (it was from Whole Foods, for the locals!).

So you guys want in on the big news too???

IMG_5467

Alright, alright. Winking smile

We’re excited to share that we’re…

IMG_5473

having…

IMG_5479

IMG_5485

<3 A BOY!! <3

IMG_5503

I guess I really do have some mama intuition! Smile

Lucas really couldn’t care less right now (and still doesn’t really get it, although he’ll still give the baby hugs and squeezes), but we’re so excited to be able to give him a little brother…a lifelong best bud!

IMG_5499

I’ll be sharing more details in my next bumpdate (hopefully tomorrow!), but for now, I hope you all have a fabulous day (especially if you’re enjoying the day OFF!) and I’ll catch up with you all tomorrow! Smile

Boy moms seem to have so much fun - I kinda want to have another boy, too, if we try again. That cake and friendsgiving spread looks phenomenal. Congrats again to you, Jay, and Lucas! <3

    Congratulations, Courtney! I had 2 boys and then a girl. I'll tell you, I really wanted to go for a fourth because I loved how my boys were "buddies" and always had a friend (they are 22 months apart), so I wanted my daughter to have the same thing. We even considered adopting so we could guarantee a sister for her. We never ended up doing either, and sadly divorced after 20 years of marriage. We are both re-married (well, I will be this year), and now she has FIVE brothers and still no sisters. LOL! Poor thing. Or lucky thing....lots of protection for this girl. My point is, it's AWESOME to have a brother buddy to grow up with - Lucas is a lucky little boy! My boys are now 20 and 18 and they are still buddies! (and I'm 43 wondering how I have these huge men calling me "Mom"). LOL!!

    Uh your friendsgiving - why was I not invited?! OMG it all looks sooo incredibly good. I have had your scones on my list of to make. I wish I had somewhere for them all to go if I made them too. That's what's so hard about baking - if it's in my house, I eat it all. Congrats on another little boy! I was wrong. I thought girl. But I was also wrong with what I thought my daughter was. ;) Guess I gotta work on that intuition thing! I would love another girl just because it would easier - we have all the girl stuff. I actually just put a box together of gender neutral clothing just in case for the next one. It's rather pathetic how much stuff we don't have! I would of course welcome a little boy too though.

    YEA!!! Two boys and brothers! I have 3 boys (and we had a 4th and then had a girl) but I so wanted another boy the 4th time. There is something special about watching little boys and their relationship develop. I think you said in a previous post that this will probably be your last baby and you are going to love that they have each other growing up. So happy for you guys!

    Congratulations! When I found out I was having a second son, it was such mixed emotions. I was so excited for them, but selfishly felt a little sad that I'd never experience having a daughter. Brothers have been SO much fun, though! It's so special watching their bond form. You'll love it <3

    Congratulations!!! Two boys will be such fun for you. I did read your post today and saw that you had mixed feelings - that is so completely normal and understandable. Allow yourself, without judgement, any and all feelings that come up. I have triplet boys and when I was pg, many people said 'oh there must be a girl in there' despite many ultrasounds to the contrary. I knew I was having boys - it felt right to me as I grew up with all brothers and almost all male cousins. When my boys were 2-3 I thought it would be nice to have a little girl - but we were done and ultimately I love having boys. (plus now they are teens and of course - everyone says how much 'easier' teen boys are than teen girls!)....I hope you enjoy your little bundle of love and seeing Lucas interact with his little brother :)
