Alex & Evan meet their new partner in crime

The boys have been very curious about my growing belly over the past few months and Alex has been notorious about reminding me how big my belly was getting. It seemed like every night when he saw me, he would say - "Mommy, it is getting bigger and bigger!" or "Mommy, when will you be skinny again?" Thanks Alex...

So when the boys found out that the baby was coming last Monday - they were definitely excited. We dropped them off at Mary's around 6:30am and told them that when it was time to leave Mary's they would (hopefully) have a new baby brother. Alex said, "Go on to the hospital mom, let the doctors take care of you". He must have known I was nervous... He then said, "Come here mom, I just need to hug you". Just what I needed to make it through the day!

Tim ran home to get them and brought them up to the hospital to meet their new brother. Just as we expected, they were excited for five seconds about the baby, but they really were excited about the IV machine, the transformer-esque bed and the contraction monitoring machine. We told them if they kept touching things, the doctor would be in to give them a shot. That worked.

They are being good brothers and have now starting telling visitors to not touch the baby - wonder where they got that?



Just chilling... Waiting for my brothers!
