Baby Brother!

Brycen came with me to my doctor's check-up today (the first one he has come to since the ultrasound) and on the ride there, I told him that we were going to hear Baby Brother's heartbeat (not exactly sure they were words we have ever used with him before since they were then followed by silence). On our way in, we passed by the curb that Brycen and I took a fall together on 11 weeks ago and Brycen remembered perfectly, "Mommy fell".

As we waited in the waiting room, Brycen sat on my lap so still and serious. He hates doctor's offices, always seems to be on the edge as to what is going to happen. They then took us back to a room and Brycen sat by himself and carefully watched them take my blood pressure and then my belly measurements--I started measuring a week or two small a few weeks ago (it will be interesting to see how this baby's size compares with Brycen's).

As soon as Brycen heard the baby's heartbeat though, his face lit up and he said, "Mommy! Baby brother!"

It's hard to know exactly how much of this is processing in his cute, big brain but if you ask him if he is ready for Baby Brother to come soon, he replies, "No, in a few weeks". And that's then he will hold, hug, and kiss him.

I'm due two months from today! And until then, you will find us outside in this beautiful weather.
