Our Little Boy is Still a Boy

This afternoon was our formal anatomy scan- scheduled of course, a few weeks late, because it just wouldn't be me otherwise. And before leaving for work this morning, Albert discovered that we had a majorly flat tire on the van...which makes two flat tires in a week. Seriously, who gets two flat tires in under a week? Moving on though, the tire was patched and I got to our ultrasound on time. Our little one is definitely still a boy and he was very active. I got to see him in 4D again and he was the sweetest thing. He puts his hands over his face at every ultrasound we have. The funny thing is, Sydney and I both also do this, anytime we are sleepy or ready to be left alone. It's crazy how he makes the same exact motions his mom and sister do already, before even being born. True to his nature at both 13 and 16 weeks, he still likes to try to burrow in whatever soft places he can find, and likes to lay face down. I am in love with him.

We are trying to find names for our list to take to the hospital when he is born. Kambree is pretty adamant that his name should be Sam, which is on our list, but is only one of the names on the list. But not according to Bree. She calls him "Sam" when she talks about him, which is totally opposite from Sydney who refers to him as "that boy in your belly."

In other news, it's movie night for the older kids and the little ones are having a camp out in the living room watching movies. Right now is The Land Before Time. I love those movies. Isaiah is not so impressed. Today, Alexandria asked me for a pen and paper. I told her not right now, because I was busy and couldn't watch Mia closely and if Mia gets ahold of any writing utensils, she writes all over herself, her siblings and any available wall space. Not good. Alexandria was less than pleased with my answer and proceeded to go on a very long winded whining spree. Sydney suddenly walked up to her, presented her with a sharpened pencil, glanced in my direction and said, "Just don't listen Alex. Just don't listen." Oh yeah. We are going to have lots of trouble with Sydney. I can tell now.
