Happiness came in 3's

What an amazing few days I've had. First of all to kick off my Monday morning was an ultrasound for baby #2 at 8 am. The moment the screen popped up I knew that I saw boy parts. The tech told me that he was going to start with the head and work his way down. After that he asked me what I thought the baby was. I told him that I was positive before hand that it was a girl, but I was pretty sure that I just saw boy parts. He said, "Really? I didn't see anything." Everything looked great at the ultrasound and when he got to determining the sex, he asked us if we could tell what it was. Definitely a boy! We're so excited that Anders will get to have a little brother. Now if we can only think of a name...

This is our new little "Thinker." He'll be here in September. I can't believe how much this ultrasound picture looks like Anders' ultrasound picture. We're so blessed!!

At 5:30 on Monday afternoon we had Anders 3rd birthday party.

I cannot believe that my little baby is turning 3. Unfortunately though I guess he's really not a baby anymore.

He was so excited about the Jeep that he got for his birthday. And VERY cautious at first. But two days into it he seems really confident about it.

 

The cutest thing I saw was when he took our little friend Oscar for a ride and after seeing him jerk around when he'd get started, without prompting, Anders put his arm around him and held onto him (even though he was in a seat belt) to make sure that he was okay. He's such a compassionate, sweet and caring kid.

Anders just finished up his first semester of pre-school. He was able to go up to USU's Child Developement Lab. He absolutely adored it and cried almost every time he had to leave school. One of the comments that his teachers made was the same that I said above. She told me that she's amazed by his compassion and if anyone in class starts crying or gets upset he's the first one to run over and try to make them feel better. I'm glad he enjoyed it and I think it was a good experience for him but, I'm still debating on whether we're taking him back or not.

Are you as blown away as I was that they were able to get a picture with this many 2 year olds sitting in one place? Wow!!!

And our 3rd exciting thing for the last few days? My new nephew (son of my favorite little sister) was born yesterday. The doctor told her on Monday that they would start her Tuesday morning. Well she ended up in full blown labor by herself at 3am on Tuesday morning. By 2pm, my beautiful, tiny little sister (have you seen her? She's seriously tiny) gave birth to an 8 lb 9 oz baby. I'm so amazed by her! This is Anders new cousin Axl.

He's so beautiful and we love him to pieces!!!
