Quotable Quotes:

This has been the funniest time around our house! The boys have come up with some wild things to say and some crazy things that they are thinking in their heads. I will update this throughout our pregnancy so that we have it all documented.

April 21, 2009- S said "will mommy's tummy explode and the baby just fly out?"
S- "will the drs just use a bunch of knives and cut the baby out?"
B- "I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE BABY!!!" (Daily he screams this one)


April 22, 2009- I was getting my bath and B walked in- not "hi mom" or anything- just a precious "How's our baby?" I told him that I was not sure how is he today and he said "Not me, the baby in your tummy!" (insert HUGE smile)

April 24, 2009- B is home with pink eye so why not get comfortable right? right! So I go get in my jammies since we will be home for the day and B says, "Those PJ's look good with the baby!"


More to come!!!

May 3, 2009- The boys are arguing about whether the baby will be a boy or girl and B says, "Has the gender been unleashed, yet?" We are assuming he wants to know if it is a boy or girl? I have never heard it put that way.... Just for the record, B wants a Girl and S wants a Boy!!!

July 3, 2209- S told his Grammy that "when the baby gets her he must be careful with her, because she is going to be pregnant." What he actually meant is that she will be fragile. We keep remind him how fragile little ones are!! TOO CUTE!

June 30, 2009- we had an ultrasound and the boys were thrilled to see their baby sister. S told us "that even though everyone knows I wanted a baby brother, I will be happy with a baby sister as well!"

B- told us with Sully that he did not want a baby sister and he got a brother! This entire pregnancy he has said he wants a sister- looks like he is right again!!!
Impressive!

July 13, 2009- when I got home from my dr's appt this morning....the boys meet me at the door screaming - "WHAT IS HER NAME, TELL US????" They are so excited about their sister.

July 13, 2009- S keeps telling everyone that when the baby gets her "she will be pregnant"- because we keep telling him that when the baby gets here she will be Fragile. He climbs on me and everyone tells him I am fragile!!! Too cute!

July 13, 2009- B found me looking at baby stuff AGAIN. "Mom, why do you keep looking at all of those girlie beds?" guess he better get used to it!

July 29, 2009- S came in one morning and was upset and crying. I said "what is wrong?" and S said through his tears' "will you still love me when the baby gets here?" ABSOLUTELY!!!!! broke my heart!!!! we are going to have to help him find his place in this family....always special!!!

Time to tell.....

It wasn't suppose to be exactly like this, but excitement took over and I spilled the beans. I planned on telling the boys tonight and to see what they thought until Grammy and Grandaddy showed up at Karate and tonight just seemed like the right time to tell everyone our big "secret." The boys are THRILLED!!!!!!!!!! Big brother is the most excited I have seen him in forever! He cannot wait to do this again! He was only 2 (almost 3) when the little man arrived. The little, soon to be big, brother is so excited!!! He is already asking if he can be there at the hospital when the baby pops out of my tummy? Do they use knives to cut it out? Will Mommy's tummy just exploded and the baby will fly out? What does he watch on TV!!!! If I wasn't so tired, I should probably pay more attention to that!!! My mom cried! She thought our little one would be the last of the grandbabies...but not quite! Todd's mom, MeMa, is thrilled as well! It is going to be exciting around here- never a dull moment! Now that they boys know, this will proabably be the longest 9 mths of my life! I cannot wait to soak it all up with them and include them in every moment! Oh, they are also weighing in on names and brother or sister!! We have a vote for a sister and 1 vote for a brother! We shall see!

The title

For those who know me, there is no other appropriate title! My poor family did not get a mom that cooks! It is just not in my genes. We eat out ALL the time and that seems to suit everyone just fine. It is still family dinnertime, we are all together! I am just practicing for when the new little one gets here- we will soon be two adults, two children and a high chair!!!

December 20, 2009

Sometimes we think we have it all figured out! Atleast, I thought I did! We were moving out of diapers, sippy cups, sleepless nights, and all the stuff that comes with little ones. We even bought the family fun car for the four of us! Then God smiled and laughed! I am sure He thought there they go again thinking they know everything! I will show them I am in charge and I have something special in mind for them. Well, looks like baby number three is on the way! We are so excited! To be honest, we were a bit shocked last Friday (4/10/2009) when I took the pregnancy test and it came back positive. So shocked in fact, that I went and bought another one to take again on Saturday! It has now sunk in and we are thrilled! We have two awesome, energetic boys who are going to be so thrilled when we share this news with them. I think I will wait a while or this will be the longest pregnancy in history! It is going to feel like forever since we found out we were expecting when I was only 5 weeks along! I will pray for patience as we go through the next several months.

Today our youngest brought a note home from school that the school has a confirmed case of Fifths disease. I had to call the dr and am going in for blood testing on Thursday. They want to confirm that I have the antibodies needed to fight it if need be so the fetus will not be harmed.

*Update- got the all clear from the Dr- I have been exposed before and I have the needed antibodies against Fifths Disease*
