I'm having withdrawals

My Mom just got to go to Disneyland with Addy and Cohen (I'd link it, but their family blog is private. Addy and Cohen are my youngest brother's children). I loved hearing about their trip. She said they had a fantastic time and loved making new memories with them.

So with all the Disney talk, I'm missing it like crazy. I never really felt like this about Disneyland until I had kids. I have great memories of going there as a child with my family, and once with a school group. But, something changes when you can see the excitement in your own child's face.

Max fell in love with Pirates last time and repeated the song for almost an entire meal.

Then turned the park map into his treasure map. With trusty Mr. Smee by his side. (I'm pretty sure I posted this before). He sang it during his "hunt" but apparently I didn't get that part on film.

We have since printed and learned the correct words to the whole song. I often hear "Mom! Can you get the words?" We sing it frequently.

We miss you Disneyland.

Hopefully we will see you soon!

Our boys are just soooo good!

We took a trip to the library this afternoon and as soon as we got home we found each of the boys doing this:

They were quiet and content for almost ten minutes. It was so great.

So great, in fact, we thought...

...let's...

...have...

...another....

And then we thought, 'Gosh, boys are so easy, clean, nice, kind, soft, gentle...let's have another one of those too!'

So we are. See for yourself.

Yeah, no mistake.

All boy.

Big boy.

Maybe even a man.

Erik is so proud.

We didn't find out the gender early for Max or Alex. I decided I wanted to know this time to be more prepared. I'm so glad we found out. No regrets. It's fun knowing early. (And now, I don't have to wait 5 more months thinking, it could be a girl. Pshhh.)

We told the tech we had two boys at home already.

Apparently the baby heard that and here's what he thought.

(She kindly deleted the line that said "FLIPPING OFF HIS FAMILY". haha. Kidding, of course.)

In fetus voice: You think those two are bad....heh..heh..heh....just wait Mommy.

Stinker.

We are happily expecting early February. I've been feeling okay. Yes, some issues. Mostly gone for now. (Except that stupid sciatic nerve. The pain is one thing but it's really embarrassing when your happily walking along and ...whoops...down she goes!) We have new insurance meaning new doctors and hospital. So it feels all new again. It is nice to have appointments 5 minutes away rather than 45.

So I'm about halfway through. I look like I could deliver tomorrow. No joke. I'm a  little concerned about what I will wear towards the end. I've almost outgrown most of my newly purchased maternity clothing. And no, not just belly...we're talking all-over chub. And the pregnancy nose is already here. Not just for the smells. But, it's...just ...so...round... and big.

Yay for babies!

Just had to add this. I was reading over the post and Max come up to me asking me what I was looking at. He saw the ultrasound picture and says "Oh, the baby. How cuuute!"

Then he rubs the back of  my head, stares into my eyes and says, "Mom, you look like a beautiful princess."

Um, okay. I'll have another boy!
