Lately Ethan has been really excited about the new baby. It is fun this time around because he is older and understands a little more than he did when I was pregnant with Emily. He makes sure to include the baby in his prayers every night. He has said and done quite a few funny little things that I thought I would share.
A few weeks ago he got new sandals. As he was taking off his old ones he put them aside and said "mom lets put these in a special place for the baby. Since they don't fit me anymore we can save them until I can share them with my baby brother." I thought that was really cute, but quickly reminded him that it might be a baby sister.
A few days ago Ethan told Eric that we should name the baby Ethan because he wants to share his name with someone. That wouldn't be at all confusing would it? Yelling Ethan and having them both answer.
The funniest was last night when we were just hanging out. Emily was patting my tummy saying baby, when she decided to kiss it. Ethan then said he wanted to kiss the baby too. I told him to go ahead. He did and then got this look on his face like he had a great idea. I was slightly worried and then he said, "I know what the baby would like. The baby would love to hear knock knock jokes!" So he got really close to my stomach and went on to tell the baby knock knock jokes. He has really been into knock knock jokes lately. One of these days I will have to post some of them. He makes up his own and they make absolutely no sense. I guess that is what makes them funny.
It makes me really excited for this baby to come. I think the kids will have so much fun with their new little sibling. I am sure Emily will have a little bit of a hard time. She still tells me all the time that she is my baby. Hopefully that won't change once another one comes. I tell her and Ethan all the time that they will always be my babies.
Just as an update, I went to the Dr. this week and all is well. It took a while to get the baby to hold still enough, but we were able to hear the heartbeat again. Right as the nurse would find the heartbeat the baby would squirm and she would have to move the thing around again and try to find it again. I still don't really feel much movement, but it was fun to know that the baby really is moving around in there. I also scheduled another ultrasound in 4 weeks. That will be the magic appointment when we find out what's cookin' in there. Boy or girl? What is you vote?

My vote is a boy! We need some more boys in this family! Unless I happen to get pregnant...then I should have a girl.
