My body can't sit still even when I want it to....

Last night I wasn't feeling my best. I think I may have some sort of stomach virus that's working itself out of my system right now. So after making dinner, cleaning the kitchen, bathing the boys and getting backpacks ready for this morning I plopped my butt down on the couch for a 5 minute breather. Ayden and Jameson were already in their room watching their 15 minutes of Scooby Doo before bedtime. I'm sure that if I had closed my eyes, I would have fallen asleep immediately.

As my body was slowly starting to relax I heard a little boy's breathing to my left. I opened an eyeball and found Ayden staring down at me.

Me: What's up buddy?
Ayden: I want to be by you. (He's been saying this a lot lately)
Me: Let's snuggle for a few minutes before bedtime.

Ayden got all snuggled in next to me with his head on my belly. I had the TV off so I heard nothing but his sweet breathing and there was no movement except for me running my fingers through his hair. All was calm. Next thing I know he bolted up and was looking at me with a very perturbed look on his face.

Ayden: SIT STILL!
Me: Baby, I'm not moving.
Ayden: I was talking to my sister, duh.

Hmmmm. I guess I had been enjoying the moment with Ayden so much that I didn't even notice that Ava was bouncing around in my belly like a gymnast. Apparently the need to be by me was now gone because he got up and pouted his way to bed. Oh well, it's not like I can help it:)

Ayden's take on the situation

I couldn't wait to pick up the boys and tell Ayden that he was going to have a sister! Because he had just woken up from a nap (he doesn't wake up well), I wasn't exactly greeted with the enthusiasm that I had been expecting. So on our way to get an emission test (one of the downfalls of living in Georgia...emission tests and ad valorum tax), I asked him again....

Me: Ayden! So aren't you super excited that you're going to have a sister?

Ayden: Yes, but of course now I ONLY have a sister.

Me: (not entirely sure what he meant) But Ayden you have a brother too. We're going to keep Jameson.

Ayden: Awwwwwww!

Me: Now you'll have a brother and a sister (said with probably too much enthusiasm).

Ayden: But I thought brother just go away now.

Hmmm. Apparently Jameson grates on his nerves more than I thought. And here I thought they did so well together!

My mom is going to try and scan our latest ultrasound pictures in with her home scanner. Hopefully they turn out better than the attempts at work!

He cracks me up...

Here's a snippet of our dinner conversation tonight:

Me: Mimi, I think Ayden is cute.
Mimi: Well I think he's adorable.
Me: Well I think he's precious.

Ayden: Well I think you guys are nuts!

Yup, we're probably both nuts....but we're crazy in love with my little man!!!
