We finally got to see our baby on Dec. 22. (And yes, since everyone keeps asking, we are further along with this one than we were with Elizabeth - our last baby). I was all excited about posting "pictures" - but our scanner is broken. Darn the luck. So you'll just have to believe me that we have the ultra sound pictures. That is one active little guy/girl. The baby kept moving and shifting and kicking...it was very reassuring and real nice to see. I don't know when we'll find out if it's a boy or a girl. For sure not our next appointment, but maybe the one after that. I was so pleased to find out that we can go to our same Dr., but to a different office (as long as we are not having an ultra-sound done). My OB is 2 hours away...and on these Wyoming roads in winter...not fun. But this other office cuts off about 45 min of drive time for us. Yeah-a-h! Jon's not sure whether to be happy about it or not. A closer office means less driving for him, but it also means that it's close enough that he doesn't get the ENTIRE 1/2 of the day off of work...it means we're done in enough time that he has to go back. :) Jon always comes with me because if I leave the kids with someone that's an all day job. Since the Dr. is 2 hours away (on good roads), that means 2 hours up, 2 hours back, plus the time in the Dr. office and usually a stop for something to eat. It's a minimum of 5 hours for babysitting. I hate to ask anyone to do that.
I thought it was SO adorable though. We've FINALLY convinced Topher that boys can't have babies. He was thoroughly convinced that the Daddies had the boy babies and the Mommies had the girl babies...like I'm going to let Jon get the credit for all that hard work I did. lol. Ethan hadn't said much until about a week before the appointment. He's convinced that he's also got a baby in his tummy as well. So when we were ready for the ultra-sound the nurse went and got Jon and the boys. They were thrilled to see the baby on the "TV". They thought it was so cool. Then when we were ready to leave, Ethan started to walk into another exam room (thankfully an unoccupied one) and started to climb onto the table. I said "Ethan, what are you doing? We're all done, it's time to go home." Then he started to throw a fit (not a big one, but big enough you could tell he was MAD). He said "MOM! It's MY TURN NOW!" and he pulls up his shirt to show his belly "It's time to watch MY baby on the TV." All the nurses had a good laugh watching me trying to convince him that there was no baby in his belly. Then the next morning I was feeling pretty sick so I figured the TV could babysit for a little while until I was feeling better. I pulled out the DVDs and asked Ethan what he wanted to watch. He searched through the DVDs for a while saying "Nope, it's not that one...Nope, not that one." Then he hands them to me and says "Mom, I want to watch the baby on the TV." I thought that was so stinkin' cute. So that's the main things that have been going on in our family.

How funny! My Jacob is convinced that if you eat too much you get bigger (fatter) and when you eat enough then you have a baby.
That is just too cute!
