The RockinRRanch

This morning we woke up to Jacob in bed between us. It stormed during the night. Jared had to leave for work really early. I woke up at 6am and did a 30 min run. Jacob woke up around 6:30 and Adam was up shortly after 7am. The boys ate breakfast in the van as we headed to my Mom's house. Jared was already there by the time we got there. Mom rode with us as we headed over to Mel's house and then to our ultrasound appointment. The boys were excited about staying with Aunt Missy. It wasn't long into the appointment that we found out we were having another boy!!! This little guy sure liked to stay curled up with his knees almost touching his chin. The nurse and then the doctor took lots of measurments to rule out any abnormalities. They were unable to get a view of his stomach so they had me get up and move around for a while. Still they couldn't find it which gave them concern for a blocked esophagus. They asked that we come back at 11:45 for another look. Everything else appeared normal. Jared dropped me off at the blood clinic while he and Mom headed back to get his car. He had to get back to work so Mom came back to pick me up. Then we went to Mel's house for a little while before going to pick Hailey up from school. When Adam saw me he said, "I miss you Mommy." Jacob ran over and gave me a big hug. They were having fun playing outside with Uncle Bruce and Max. Mel got to come in with me for my second appointment while Bruce watched the kids. They saw the stomach right away this time but still want me to have another ultrasound in a few months. The kids were eating lunch when we came back. On our way back to Mom's we stopped at Tim Horton's to celebrate our baby boy news. Mom and I got capuccino's and muffins and the boys got a donut. As soon as we walked into Nana's house Adam asked to watch the Baby Einstein video. The boys had fun playing with the big foam blocks and matchbox cars. Adam lay down for a nap but never did go to sleep. Mom headed over to check on Grandpa. Jacob played with the cash register and then played the electric keyboard. Papa got there around 4pm and the boys were excited to see him. Kenzie got off the bus around 4:30. Jared came there from work and brought blue/pink cookies and cider. Mel and her family and Vikki were soon there too. After dinner (thank you Mom!) Jared made the baby boy/girl anouncement much in the way he did here on the blog but using the tv. Jacob mouth opened wide and then came a huge smile. He is very happy to be getting what he said he wanted, another brother. I printed a baby picture for all the kids. Hailey and Jacob also enjoyed going thru all the ultrasound pictures and having me explain them. We headed home around 7:30. Had to stop at meijer for some groceries. As we walked thru the store Jacob asked, "Mommy how many more leeps (sleeps) til the baby comes out?" Tonight Jacob wanted to sleep with his head at the end of his bed. He fell asleep holding his picture of the baby.
