A Positive Step Forward

Yesterday, in my quest to be as positive as possible, I went to BabiesRUs and purchased a new Ultrasound frame. I felt so good about doing it and just the act made me very happy and excited. We have gotten the Ultrasound Frames for all the babies. Asa & Lexi's were both hung up in their rooms w/ the HPT wand on top. I kept Johnny's HPT wand, but we didn't purchase the Ultrasound Frame until after he was already born and not with us any longer. In fact, we bought it on the way from the hospital to the funeral home to make his arrangements for cremation. This time I was determined to get it now.

When I got home from work, John and I filled out the frame with the Ultrasound date (2/9/2010 and the Due Date 9/16/2010 and picked out which picture we wanted to put in the frame. After that we decided instead of having them in their respective rooms, we would put them all in the hallway. I felt better about this because obviously Johnny isn't with us and I didn't want his to be put somewhere else in the house. They should all be together. John did a perfect job of putting them all up at the end of the hall. 2 on top and 2 on bottom, along with all of the HPT wands on top of each frame.

Of course, Asa doesn't miss anything so he noticed them right away. I held him up and showed him each ultrasound picture. "This is you in Mommy's tummy, here is Lexi, here is Angel Brother (Johnny) and here is the new baby in Mommy's Tummy". I asked both Asa and Lexi if they would like a new brother or sister and each replied "yes". I asked them what they wanted. Asa want's brother, Lexi want's a sister and then Asa said he actually just wants a Octopus. So funny!

I love them both so much and I can't wait to see how much another new baby is going to enrich their lives. They are amazing and I know they will love this new baby as much as they love eachother.
