Baby Polzin

Jim prevailed, and we didn't find out the sex of Baby #2. Believe me, I tried pretty hard to change his mind, but he kept saying how great it will be when the doctor announces what it is when it's born!! Yeah, yeah - the planner in me disagrees, but I'll let him have this one. Anyways, here are some pictures of our 2nd little bundle of joy! It looked like the baby had it's feet up by its head the whole time. The ultrasound tech said he/she is very flexible!

Ben dancing at Badger Family Fun Day

My little gangster...

Ben and I went to Family Fun Day yesterday at Camp Randall. Jim was there promoting his book. Ben had a great time playing games, getting autographs, running on the field and as you can see, dancing!

Badger Family Fun Day

SO Big!

This is how Ben measures how big he is. Looks pretty accurate!

My Sweetheart

As you may or may not know, Ben is convinced that I have a baby sister in my belly. Well, yesterday, I found out why he wants a baby sister. I was putting Ben to bed, when he said he wanted a baby girl (again). I asked why he didn't want a baby boy and he said, "Because a baby girl would be just like you, Mom. Then we'd have 2 girls and 2 boys!" Awwww...

He's also has been telling us how he loves us all the time - and out of the blue. We can be in separate rooms, and he'll yell, "Mom!" I'll say, "yes, Ben?" And he says, "I love you!" Not sure what's going on with this kid, but I'm liking it. Is it wishful thinking to hope that this behavior will last through adulthood??? Yeah, I guess I'm not that naive.

Can you sing Y-M-C-A??

My smart little boy

Today, Ben and I went for a bike ride (Ben rode his bike while I walked along side). He was slowly pedaling up a tiny hill, when he slowed down to whine, "Mom, I can't do it!" I gave him a little push and said, "yes you can!" He pedaled 3 more times before he tired out and whinily said again, "Mom - I CAN'T do it!" So, I said, "Ben, I don't want to hear that you can't do it. I want you to say, 'Mom, I can do it!'" So, he pedaled about 5 more times and then said, "Mom, I..." when I hastily interrupted him to say, "Ben, I said I didn't want to hear that you can't do it!" But then Ben said, "But I was just going to say, 'Mom, I love you.'" Oh, that smart little boy knows just the right buttons to push. Where does he learn this stuff??
