While you were in Mommy’s Tummy…

Mommy and Daddy were so happy and  figured that  the pregnacy would go smoothly but boy were we wrong. Mommy was sick pretty much from the start.  I had morning sickness but it was more like all day sickness and it was AWFUL.  Luckily the first couple of months we didn’t have to travel because it was the slow time for our business.  But as soon as March came around we were off and that all day morning sickness was joined by motion sickness. We tried everything possible from pill, motion bands, teas, vitamins and nothing worked. Mommy’s new best friend was the toilet. Daddy would feel bad becasue he couldn’t help me or make it better.  After a while I kinda just got used to it and tried to eat only things that wouldn’t be so bad the second time around.LOL. While all this was going on you were getting bigger and bigger in Mommys tummy and my tummy was getting bigger and bigger so you would have plenty of  room to stretch out in.

You were due during our busiest time of  the season. So we weren’t sure where exactly you would be born and Mommy worried about this all the time.  Your original due date was July 17,2008 and I always said over and over “wouldn’t it be great if he was born on the 4th of July” but your dad was routing for his birthday July 1. I told him no way, I’m the one doing all the work you don’t get that joy of me having him on your b-day.LOL. But of course if it had happened that way I would have been just as happy and thrilled as I was the day you did arrive.

We had more ultrasounds done. This time 3-d ones because we wanted to know the sex. I knew from the moment I found out I was pregnant with you that you were a boy. But, we needed some proof before we could start telling everyone. Your daddy was very happy you were a boy. He was excited to tell your grandpa he was having another grandson.

Let’s go back to when Mommy and Daddy realized we had a special gift on the way

We were so excited and nervous when we first found out our family would be going from 2 to 3. I think mommy was a bit more scared than daddy only because he stayed in a state of shock for a while.:) But once it finally sunk in good, we were over the moon.

We kept it to ourselves for a little while just to make sure you were growing strong and were healthy and you were. The first time we heard your heartbeat mommy and daddy both cried. It was so beautiful. And still to this day everynight when your sleeping mommy lays her head down on your chest and listens to your precious little heart beating away  and it sounds even more  beautiful as you grow.

2/24/09 On your way to help grandpa feed cows!!

You looked so cute. You very a very good boy that day and had fun helping grandpa feed the cows. You also got to sit on grandpas lap on the tractor while we all took lost of pictures. You weren’t to sure if you liked that idea to much. So daddy came and got you from grandpa and then you and mommy watched daddy and grandpa finish feeding the cows. You had a good time that day and mommy got some cute pics of you!!
