Saturday "The Special Day" February 13th

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!
