Happy Birthday!

That's what Joel was saying to me all day long, and then Jesse would echo, "Birthday, Mommy!". It was quite sweet. We also wrapped up a long week of VBS this morning and everything seemed to be a great success.

A special part of my birthday was having the ultrasound this morning. I think I was in such shock (and focused on getting to church for VBS) that Zac and I left the doctor after the ultrasound but then got a call while we were in the car telling us that we still had to meet with the doctor. Oops! We turned around and did the second part of our visit. I thought the ultrasound tech told us we could go... :) There was one view of the baby's heart we couldn't see (he is quite the mover and shaker) so I'll have a repeat ultrasound next month just to check it out, but they aren't concerned. I will be a fun memory to have received the knowledge that we're having another little guy on my b-day.

I would like to officially note that Zac was super dad today (a very wonderful present for me). He held my hand through the ultrasound, let me go out shopping with my mom, installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom (I told him that was the gift that will keep on giving), fixed our bathroom door, and lastly, did major potty duty today.

Potty duty, you ask? Well, we had a difficult afternoon around here. Joel wet his bed, for the first time ever, during his nap (it was our fault, we forgot to remind him to go beforehand). Zac was here when he woke up and did the whole mattress, sheet, clothing cleaning. Then Jesse went pee on the floor while I was running their bath water. Then after the bath, while I was getting his diaper out, he pooped on the floor in two places in Joel's room (also not his fault, he must have had an upset tummy because it was the 3rd time he pooped today--and we aren't talking little, hard pieces). My dear husband cleaned everything up, with very little drama, I might add. What a guy!!

Joel served me birthday cake, the boys helped me blow out the candles, and I received some wonderful presents for myself and our new little baby! My parents, and bro and sister-in-law came up with little Stella, too. That's here in the pics with me. A great day, indeed!
