This is probably not news to most, but we had our ultrasound on Monday and found out that we are having another BOY!!! He appears to be healthy, too, which is the real blessing. Steven is pretty pumped about having another son, and I have to admit it will be fun to see Eli and little D grow up together, just 2 years apart. We are going to call him David, just haven't decided on the middle name yet. He's quite a mover, that's about all I know about him for now. I do hope my Mom is correct in her prediction that he will have curly blonde hair, but if I have another one with stick straight blonde hair or dark hair and a double crown I will love it too.
We broke the news to Sadie and she took it very well, she has mentioned several times about my tummy getting bigger and when I told her that the baby was going to grow and grow until it was time for him to be born she smiled really big and said "I can't wait!". As for Eli, I think he's in denial. Whenever I ask him where the baby is and try to point to my belly he just looks around the room and behind me like, "what, I don't see a baby!". He is talking more and more these days, trying to say more than is understood but nonetheless it is cute. He loves his books and gets very animated when we read the same ones over and over. Sadie is into her puzzles and pretending, as well as her all time favorite - bossing Eli around. She thinks she outsmarts us when she finds him an appealing toy only so she can play with the one he currently has. They are cute little buddies though, for the most part. I had sent her to her room the other day for a bad attitude then went upstairs because I couldn't find Eli. He had accompanied her to her room and when I stuck my head in the door he waved and said "Bye Mommy!" then shut the door in my face. I guess they're sticking together, for now.
I remember being pregnant with Eli but overwhelmed with love for Sadie and thinking "can I possibly love another child like I love this one?" Of course, I discovered that I can, and do, love Eli just as much as Sadie. So this pregnancy is exciting, when I actually take a breath and have time to think about it, because I don't wonder if I'll love David like I love the others. I know I will! And what a sweet blessing from the Lord. Praise HIM from whom all blessings flow! Goodnight all.
