You know Ali! We took Ty to his 2-year check-up today, and the doc was like "Whoa, big boy!" He's gonna be a great big brother!

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. Chani is 12 years older than Ty, and she is awesome with him. I'm anxious to see how Ty reacts toward Caitlin. We're going to try to encourage him to "help" us a lot, so that he feels involved and protective of her.

I love babies, especially when I can give them back to their parents...haha. Actually I think it is awesome to watch the older siblings with younger ones. Watching my own girls together has been a real eye opener!

You just scared the crap out of me Momo! She can't come this week...or next week - I still have stuff to do to get her room ready! If she can beat up Ty (the Tank), then I will be very, very happy!

This is when I was 33 weeks for my son. He was due on June 27th. His birthday is day after tomorrow...seven weeks early. Better than his big sister though, who showed up 10 weeks too soon!

I bet Ty will be great with her. She'll probably be beating him up!

I know - it is kinda trippy. The other thing that was kinda trippy was seeing her practice breathing during the sonogram. How can they breathe in there with all that fluid? She did though. Thanks Pete!

That is one trippy image!

"...get our shit together and pack a bag..." - yeah, that sounds about right for anyone that's expecting. Good luck and congrats!

At this point, we're not worried. I think Lori just wants this to be over with ;-)

Oh those 3/4D things really creep me out.

It's like she's gonna get me.

Glad to hear the black eye isn't real. You can always send me the jpeg and I can Photoshop that right out for you. Its never too early for a little retouch! Wondering if your wife is worried and/or stressed about Caitlin coming early? Honestly, my wife and I go back and forth on having another kid all the time for that very reason....not sure we want to go through that again.

Yes - the attention thing is hard, and Lori is understandably tired. I try to make sure he is entertained ;-)

Awh.. I so miss having a pregnant belly.. Though I know at week 33 your not in the awh phase anymore.. your in the "when will I feel less like a planet again?". I remember how hard is was being pregnant with the second when my oldest just wanted non stop attention. It is hard work. :)

It's definitely different this time around for us. Having a toddler around that needs a lot of care distracts (me anyway) from the pregnancy. I rubbed Lori's belly all the time when she was pregnant with Ty, but not as much this time. I'm really excited for Caitlin to come, but it's not the same kind of anticipation. Much more relaxed this time around.

Oh, it won't just be Ty, but I'll be glad to get some help!

I remember when we got close with Zane. The anticipation was draining. I don't know if it'll be the same this time around.

You are so right about the boys that like her having to deal with Ty! I totally wish my twins had an older brother (or 3) to look out for them when they're in school. All we've really got is Baby Daddy and a shotgun :S (Kay, no shotgun, but I'm sure he's got one picked out)
