Today - Feb. 21st

Today has had it's up and down moments. We wake up at 6:00 am to the phone call saying - no school. We are having another ice storm. I thought this was supposed to be Southern Illinois. As we are getting ready, Braelyn starts having to run to the bathroom every few min. I think you get the drift. As we are getting ready to leave, we discover that the cat is just not sick - it's dying. AHHHH! Ryan and I went to the dr's appointment this morning leaving the kids in Tayloran's care. The dr first thought the baby was a girl. This baby was very uncooperative. It had it's legs closed tightly. After looking for several minutes, something popped up from nowhere. It's a boy. The dr is 95% sure it's a boy. He looked for a good 15 min to be sure. He called another dr in to look. The baby was just not very active. that's good - hopefully not another busy one. Ryan is over the moon with excitement. I'm just depressed because I have already gained 12 pounds - yes, 12 pounds. I was and am still in shock. It must be a boy! The girls were very kind to their mother. I only gained the 25 lbs with each one. We got to see 5 fingers on the hands, etc. Everything with the baby looked great. I have my thorough ultrasound Mon. at the hospital. We'll let you know if the boy is still a boy!!!! And if you are wondering about the status of our kitty. Poor Brownie - may he rest in peace.
