On Saturday, we told our kids about the "news". We went to the kid's favorite restaurant, CiCi's. Dad informed them that something was about to change their life. I unzipped my jacket enough so that they could read the words on my red shirt. "Baby makes the belly go round." Marshall's face immediately turned to the biggest smirk I have ever seen.
Marshall's words:
I really want a boy, no one else wants a boy in my family. Sydney says if it is a boy it will be called Carlos. Dad secretly wants a boy, but if you ask him he will say "I want a girl". Mom does not care, she just wants it to be healthy. If you ask me...I would say every one is happy. Peace Out!
Sydney's words:
I think the baby will be a girl. I think the baby's name will be Carlos. Marshall would like to name the baby Jason. I am very happy that we are going to have a baby. I will be a fantastic big sister. I already know Marshall is a good big brother. He will take good care of the baby. I am happy if it is a boy or a girl..either way I will take good care of the baby.
After lunch, we registered at Babies R Us and went shopping. Marshall got to scan the items and enjoyed being in charge. Sydney looked for anything "monkey". It was a great day for our family. We have so much love to give.
I am excited about the role that both our children will play in this pregnancy. They have already made it so much fun. I love their questions and input!
