Lucas Jacob Holcombe
I went in for my 32 week appointment yesterday and everything looks great with baby Lucas! He was measuring right on track, very strong heartbeat... Praise God. He is a very active baby. He moves ALL the time (even at night... fun fun!) Only 7 more weeks from today and I can hold him in my arms. Just wanted to update!

Update on the Family
It's been a while since I've given an update on the Holcombe bunch!
Savannah or "Fannah" as she calls herself is on a potty training mission. It's been 3 days now of using the potty on a regular basis. She's so excited to say bye bye to diapers and hello to big girl panties. Mommy is too! Diapers are SO expensive. We'll get atleast 8 weeks break from buying diapers, better than nothin'! She loves to wipe, flush and tell her pee pee bye bye. We use stickers and candy to motivate her (she calls them 'treats')
Her language has exploded the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how fast they grow in such little time. Her new phrases are "no more", "i do!" (very popular), "golf ball", "in a minute", and many more. New words pop up every day!
Her new interest is fire trucks! Her great uncle Chuckie took her for a ride on one of his fire trucks a few weeks ago when we were in Charleston for my cousin Heather's graduation/engagement party. Ever since then, she's been obsessed. We have a fire station close to our house and they told us to come by any time to let her visit and get inside of a firetruck. She did it today and was ecstatic. In her broken sentences, she says "fire" "hot" "whoo whoo". Then when we leave, I hear "more, more, more!"
She is getting very excited about her baby brother Lucas. So is Mommy! Only 8 more weeks. She knows exactly who he is and where he is. She loves to lift my shirt and kiss the baby. She tries to feed him through my belly button. heehee, and sometimes thinks she has a baby in her belly too. She went to my last doctors appointment with me and got to hear his heart, so she now says "baby" "heart" "beat beat". It's so sweet. She's really good with babies so we're hoping she doesn't get too jealous. She's such a great helper!
Lucas is growing every day and VERY active. He doesn't stop moving. He's been so healthy this whole pregnancy. We are so thankful and so blessed to be given two angels, one boy, one girl... God is good!
Brian is great! He's been working from home a lot which is super. He's such a trooper when Savannah wants Daddy to go EVERYWHERE with us, from the park to the play place to the grocery store and so on. She loves her Daddy and if you ask her whose baby she is, she says DADDY! She calls him "my Daddy" a lot. It's so sweet. We've really been enjoying the time together as a family. That's about it for now. I'll update more often now that I am on the computer more. Hope all is well with everyone.

1st OB visit for Baby #2
So, we had our first visit to get a sneak peak of Baby #2. Brian has had to be out of town a lot lately. His business picks up towards the end of the year. He's been working his butt off, but it is great for his company! He was very disappointed not to be able to make it, but he rarely missed an appt. with Savannah. I am estimated to be 5 weeks and 5 days along, so the ultrasound only shows the gestational sac and the little white circle in the middle is called the yolk sac. I just learned this today, but this is where the tiny embryo gets all the nutrition in the very early days. The baby was TOO small to show up this time, so I get another ultrasound next Wednesday. She guessed that my due date would be between July 17 and 20. How exciting! I'm not really feeling pregnant except for a little nausea and a little tiredness. I'm not expecting any big symptoms, if any, until the end of the week. Hopefully this continues, I'd be very happy. Well, I'll post more soon!

Surprise!
We just wanted to announce that Baby Holcombe #2 is on the way. This was a BIG surprise, but we couldn't be more thrilled. Savannah is going to be a big sister! The estimated due date is July 17, 2008. They will be 23 months apart. We go to the doctor in a few weeks and I'll post more soon. A wise man once told me that "children are the only gifts God gives you that you can take to Heaven with you." How true...

New to Blogging
Hey all!
Thank you for visiting our new blog. Brian, Savannah and I are so excited to have finally created our own BLOG! We are looking forward to keeping you updated on new and exciting things going on in our family.
A little update - Brian & I have been married now for 3 and 1/2 years. I am now a stay at home mommy! I quit my job at North Point Community Church in August to stay home with Savannah (now 15 months!). I loved my job, but I felt like I was really missing out on a lot. She is growing so much every day and I didn't want to miss another minute. I am also getting back into acting and modeling. We'll see where that takes me :)
Brian has owned his own company for the past few years. He and his partner run East Coast Industrial Services where they repair & erect manufacturing plants (i.e. cement and concrete plants). Their jobs range from large (building a plant from the ground up) to smaller scale repairs & safety improvements. He loves it. He gets to be home a lot with us, but he does travel a little during the year.
Savannah is now 15 months old. She is SO hilarious. Her favorite things are our 3 dogs. We have two Beagles, Bella & Baylee, and a new yellow lab puppy, Lexi. They are so sweet and are in love with Savannah. She is running around and is VERY busy. Some of her favorite things are to care for her babydoll, read animal books w/ Mommy, "drive" the car, blow out candles (over & over & over), play at the mall playground, take walk with her best friend Bugsy who lives next door, play with her other friends in the culdesac (especially Karla!) and TALK! Her favorite foods are eggs, cheese, goldfish, steak, raisins, tomatos, and just about anything sweet. She is a trip. VERY outgoing and friendly. She will wave and blow kisses to just about anybody. She loves to play peekaboo and climb up our stairs. She also loves to brush her teeth. In fact, she's obsessed with it! "ba ba"! (toothbrush) She has to have the water and toothpaste on it every 5 seconds. She will NOT wear socks or shoes in the car, but she will watch the same episode of Barney on repeat every time we get in the car.
Well, that's a little update. We'll post more soon. Happy blogging!
