Tyse is getting so excited for this baby to come. Every day he asks how much longer. I hate to break to him that we have 5 more weeks to go, because he doesn't think my body can hold the baby that much longer. Just yesterday we had a great little discussion...He keeps lifting up my shirt and saying "Wow, mom, your belly is getting HUGE! That baby better come soon!" with a big emphasis and arm gesture with the huge part. And then yesterday he added, "if the baby doesn't come soon, he is just going to pop right out of your stomach like a big balloon. Just POP! like that". I think he thinks it is like a special effect on power rangers or something- I swear he hasn't seen that halloween movie where the alien pops out of the girl's stomach, but that is the visual I could see running through his head. Boy, the things imagination can do for a mom's self esteem. He is also getting way into the naming game- just yesterday he was sitting on the couch "reading" the baby name book and saying, "how about this one, mom" and then making some nonsense word up. He thought he was pretty grown up. It was pretty funny. I guess that is what we get for just reading him the crazy names out of the book that no one actually names their child. He has a DEFINITE opinion on what we should call the new one- he wants to name him TY. I tried to explain that Ty is a little close to his name- Tyse, but I think that's the appeal. He is alright with a few of the other finalists as well, but sure loves to make faces and complain at others.
Poor Emitt has no idea what is about to happen. I have been trying to help him get used to a baby- we gave him one of Kent's old cabbage patch dolls for christmas and I have been trying to get him to hold it and feed it with a little fake bottle and teach him "baby," but at this point he only calls it "cat". Every stuffed item we have is "cat." Tyse never liked stuffed animals so this obsession of emitt's is a new thing for us. It is so cute! At any rate, we are lucky that he has become quite the daddy's boy as of late. What a sweet little tyrant he is becoming!

When I was pregnant with Colby, Hailey told me I was "huge-er" than daddy and I was even huge-er than her. Gotta love their honesty. Now, I will be honest and tell you that you look GREAT! You're absolutely beautiful pregnant. I can't wait to see your new hair! :)
Kent had a cabbage patch doll? That's pretty funny!
Gotta love little kids' honesty! Samantha went through a phase when she was younger that everything was heavy....especially mommy!
Oh the innocence and simple mind of a child. Wyatt keeps talking to other people about the baby in my tummy. I guess since I have been pregnant twice in his short lifetime, he thinks there is always a baby in there.
I saw the picture of you on shayla's couch, and that was the first thing I thought was "She looks great!"
I love that Tyse wants to name the baby Ty... he just wants someone to be just like him! And Emitt with the cats... made me laugh out loud! :o)
Avery regularly tells me (in a very excited voice) that my belly is getting bigger! Thanks a lot Avery.
