Jacob's First Braves Game

Today we took Jacob to his first game at Turner Field. We were all excited because it was the Braves Vs. the Red Sox and Jacob's first game. Being the brave parents that we are, we took him to the 1:35pm game-- right during nap time! Anyone with a two year old knows not to break this cardinal rule. We arrived around noon and found our seats. It was 97 degrees at the field today, but we sat in the Golden Moon Casino Pavilion where it was shady and breezy. Earlier in the week we sat by the field for the Yankees game and I nearly melted! Jacob was so excited to see the field up-close. We watched the ground crew prep the field for the game... Jacob thought these were the baseball players and couldn't figure out where their bats were! :) When the game started he went wild. He kept copying Jason, yelling out whatever Jason yelled. I'm pretty sure he was the only two year old yelling "Come on, Tommy!" to the pitcher and "Base Hit, B-Mac". It was cute! Jason took this fabulous picture of me... you can kind of see the beginnings of my baby belly.

Jason gets really into his baseball!
Around the fifth inning, the fun was ending though! He was so tired and got a little cranky. So, me being the mom of the year, decided to take him to the concession area to find some ice cream. When we got up there, he broke free from me and took off running. So, here I was five months pregnant, belly flopping, chasing after him with bystanders amused. Finally an usher stopeed him so that I could catch up. I was not a happy momma! Needless to say, we left before the first pitch was thrown in the sixth inning!

Monster Mini-Golf

Yesterday, we went to eat dinner with friends, Brittany and Cole. We hadn't seen them in a while and were SO excited to see them. Brittany is expecting her first baby and is about 8 weeks ahead of me. However, belly-wise, we were very close!!! My belly is getting so big, so fast, with this baby compared to my pregnancy with Jacob. Thankfully, I haven't gained as many pounds as last time, but I am definately poking out there!

After dinner it was raining, so we had to change our plans from going to Mountasia to play putt-putt golf, to going to an indoor putt-putt course called "Monster Golf". We weren't sure what to expect, but it was cute. Jacob had a blast. He didn't quite understand that you aren't supposed to pick up your ball to move it closer to the hole! But, at an average of 8 strokes per hole, none of us minded! He may be the next Tiger Woods.

Or if golf doesn't work out, there's always basketball! This child is definitely Jason's son! :)

It's a... GIRL!

On Saturday, we went to Baby's First Images in Alpharetta to find out the sex of our new bundle of joy. Jacob was convinced that Mommy was having both a boy and a girl. Jason and I were both thinking that it had to be another boy. (Jason was REALLY hoping for a girl though!) When we arrived, we went straight back to the ultrasound room. We got to see some great images of our new baby...except that she was being very shy! Finally the ultrasound tech was able to get a good look and was convinced that we are having a girl. We are so overjoyed to add this little lady to our family. She waved at us during the 3d ultrasound and we saw her sucking her thumb. She is very active already!
