And Now... The Rest of the Story

We are so excited to be on our way to welcoming a new sweet baby into our home! It will be so much fun for Koy to have a sibling and hopefully we can teach him how to be nice to other kids before this one gets here.

I am 14 weeks + a few days and so that puts the due date on March 21st but I'm planning on the 28th to be safe. It seems like forever away some days but other days I'm nervous that we won't be ready for it. I know it shouldn't be that scary, but I'm more scared this time than I was with Koy. Maybe it's knowing what happens at the end. Yikes! Really though, we are super excited and Justin has even admitted he would totally be fine having a little girl. That was a shock to me because he's NEVER wanted a girl. I've felt better than I did with Koy and I wasn't sick much with Koy so I'm thinking it will be a boy... The Chinese think so too. :) Trust me, I checked a Chinese gender prediction chart. Those have to be 100% accurate, right? Ha.

There is one downer about the March due date. The baby will be coming during March Madness. Dang it! (Not that it matters to me... but to Justin, it might put kink in his plans.) I didn't realize it was due during March Madness until we were sitting in Stake Conference last weekend. I figured I could tell Justin there and he would be on such a spiritual high that he would be like, "It's ok babe! I won't even make you watch Sports Center and nothing about the sport will be mentioned. I just love you so much and you're the best and your happiness is the only thing in this world that will matter to me. We'll just focus all of our attention on you and the new baby, because I love you."

Boy was I wrong!

I leaned over and told him what I had just realized and his response was,

"I'll forgive you."

WHAT?!

I'll forgive YOU?

Yeah. He obviously wasn't paying very close attention to conference or something because he was not on the spiritual high I thought he would be on.

He's a terd and he'll pay for it later. I just haven't figured out how...



As far as Koy goes, he is doing pretty well with his glasses. He wore them last week for almost one whole day! I was so proud of him! He just looks so cute that it cracks me up. I think it's also helped to not force it on him to wear them too. If he wants them on he can have them and if not, he doesn't have to. He is realizing that they do help him see his books and toys though. When we read stories and we ask him if he wants his glasses on, he always says, "Ok." It's so cute! He's just so sweet but it kind of makes me laugh because a lot more people talk to Koy wherever we go now. He also gets more treats from the checkers at Macey's now... which is kind of bad because he expects he'll get a treat whenever we go shopping. Oh well. I'm also happy because his eye does look so much better when his glasses are on! Hopefully it keeps getting stronger so we don't have to do surgery. Woot!

Yay!! I am so happy for you! We are due the same month! Only about a week different! I am glad you have been feeling well. I am sure Justin will be fine ;0) If not, hopefully you will have lots of other help. And you're not the only one who checks the Chinese Lunar Calander. I cant wait to hear what you are really having. Miss you like crazy. Congrats!!!

I'm totatlly scared to have another one! Isn't that weird? You'd think it wouldn't be as scary since you already know what to expect but I guess ignorance really is bliss, huh? Anyway, I am way excited for you guys!

Did you really think he would be ok with you giving birth during March madness? J/K. I'm sure he will be very sweet about it! You are so funny!
