Big news all around!

The biggest of all the news is that my baby is officially no longer a baby.  My little boy now wears his big boy pants morning AND night.  We switched over from pull-ups to underwear about a week ago and he hasn't looked back since.  I am shocked!  And sad... he really is no longer my little buy, but rather my big stud as he likes to remind me.  He has grown, both physically and emotionally, so much in the past month.  The things he says to me takes me by surprise.  For instance...  I was dropping him off at my sister yesterday so that I could go get a much needed massage.  I told him that I was in a hurry and he would have to go up to the door by him self.  He promptly jumped out of the car, closed the door and then turned around to say to me "goodbye mommy.  Have a very good day at work today.  I love you so much!"  I guess he just assumed I was of to work again.  Where does he come from?

The next big news is that we have scheduled our BIG ultrasound for December 1st.  I am very anxious, not only to find out what it is but also to make sure that everything is okay.  This pregnancy has been filled with so much more fear than the first one.  I guess it's the fact that I know so much more this time around.  In my profession it amazes me that these little guys ever come out perfect.  I thank God every day for my healthy child.  As for finding out what the baby is we have devised a plan so that Dan can be involved.  Or rather, Dan has devised a plan.  I am not be allowed to see what it is during the ultrasound.  The sex will be written down and put in an envelope.  Then an "impartial third party" will first inform Dan.  He will them call me and let me in on the big news.  I know, sounds like a process, but I am excited to have Dan involved in it!

Here are a few pics from today.  Let me remind you that it is only 9 in the morning and, yes, he is already outside in the 40 degree weather.  He is all boy!

Yes!  I did pull out the Christmas Decorations already.  K-Warm is playing 24 hour Christmas music, so i can have my decorations out!
