It's a...

Wait let's back up.....

Way back on my birthday in October, Stephen gave me a Tiffany's gift card to go pick out anything I wanted (i got a super pretty double banded ring). On the card it said, "Let's go for another baby....Jocelyn wants a brother!" SAY WHAT?

We had been talking about it but always saying we would not try until Jocelyn was at least 1 or her health issues were somewhat under wraps. Looking back I find it funny that "Jocelyn" asked for a brother!


At my 16 wk week (actually 15wks and 3 days) appt I told Steve to stay home with Jocelyn as it would be a pretty uneventful appt based on Jocelyn during that time.

So you can imagine how surprised I was when the nurse (our favorite one) said, "so are you going to have the dr tell you the sex today if she can tell?" My reaction was sort of shock. I said, "what? she might be able to tell?" As I remember with Jocelyn our doctor wouldn't even guess until our full anatomy scan! So then my mind started to race as I realized Steve wasn't with me. Do I call him and see if he and Jocelyn can come down to the drs now? Do I not find out? What to do!

So as I waited for the doctor it all the sudden popped into my head! I will have her write it on a piece of paper if she can tell and take it home to Steve and Jocelyn so we can all find out as a family!

So the doctor came in and explained my plan! She did the super fast ultrasound and started to walk out the door. I said, "wait, so could you tell?" She said, "OH YEAH-I'm getting an envelope!"

Ekk I was so excited!

So off I went home with envelope in hand! I walked in the door with a huge smile on my face. Steve said, "WHAT? did you find out!?" I said, "No, but this envelope knows!"

We got ourselves and the camera ready and went to find out if we were having a boy or girl this time!

Of course Jocelyn was very curious what all the excitement was about! She was right in the action as always!
The doctor put an ultrasound pix with a sticky note over it saying, "Baby Davis"....
The we took the sticky note off to reveal the wording, "Baby BOY!" It's a BOY!!
Jocelyn was studying his picture very intently!
She carried it around the house all night saying, "Baby!" and then would point to it!
With No prompting at ALL she went to her phone! We were laughing so hard! It was as if she knew that we needed to call all our family and friends!
"Hey Brody, I'm getting a brother!"..or so I imagine this is what she was saying!
So that night I baked two blue cakes and iced them with white icing so you couldn't see the blue cake part. Then we took one over to Steve's parents house....

and had one with my mom and Aunt Cherie!
All grandma's, grandpa's and great aunts were very excited!!!!!!!!! Can you tell? HA!

So yep, baby boy to debut 9/30! Woohoo!!!!

The Beach and making cupcakes

Jocelyn is saying, "bye bye" to the beach about 2 minutes after we arrived!

I forgot to load up these beach pictures we took in San Diego as well.

Now she is asking for her shoes..
and back to the car!
Some random picture's of Jocelyn helping me make cupcakes one morning!
First time licking the wisk!


Exahausted after that apparently..."ni-ni" with her baby!

Sea World

We took our first trip (probably of many) to Sea World this past weekend! They are having an amazing deal for teachers to get in free. We saw just about every other person there using this deal too! They could also get a guest in for free and then of course Jocelyn was already free! So we were super excited to take advantages of that!

We stayed at The Dana in Mission Bay since we got another good 50% of deal on their rooms. They also have a shuttle that takes you to Sea World and picks you up..again for Free! Their hotel is surrounded by the bay and so we also could walk to the beach! Except Jocelyn wasn't so excited about getting sandy feet and kept asking to put her shoes back on!

We saw the sea lions first!

Then we saw the sharks. Jocelyn was very confident until she got to this part of the exhibit! She wasn't so sure about sharks swimming above us!
Now off to the shows! We saw the Pets Rule first. Which Jocelyn was more concerned about eating her peanut butter crackers! She definitely acknowledged the cats, dogs and birds but after that she was unimpressed.

So before the dolphin show, Blue Horizon, we had Steve get seats and then I waited outside with Jocelyn until the very last minute. She still was ready to leave, waving "bye bye" to the dolphins well before they were ready to be done. But we managed to keep getting her back into the show! Thankfully it was only 25 minutes long! But it was a really great show!




Jocelyn was really excited when she saw this guy after the show! But as we got right next to him she got super shy! She did give him a high five though!
Yay penguins!
Off to the Artic...
Woohoo....
The polar bears....
this one came super close to us!

under the sea.....
Love this picture that Steve took!

Elmo's world..la, la, la la, Elmo Worlds....


"neelmo" as Jocelyn calls him! We actually have never watched Elmo's world. We have a few books and a stuffed animal or two. But I've never heard her actually say his name. So wouldn't stop pointing him out whenever she saw a pic of him! So funny!

There was a photo opt to take a pix with Elmo and Zoe. We stood in line and Jocelyn kept saying, "bye, bye" as she waved to them. If we asked her if she wanted to take a pix with them she said, "no!" while shaking her head. But we decided to wait it out and see if she would be OK. Thankfully she was Ok with giving them both high fives and a fist bumps. The photog put Steve and I on each side of Jocelyn as we all took a pix and all that was OK with Jocelyn! But any other contact was not! She made that clear!
You can even tell in this pix her face is a bit distressed giving Elmo a fist bump!
Bye Elmo!!!
What a tired girl!
After a nap we took a long walk on the bay!
Happy girl with her chips!

There was a ton of bunnies in the grass that would let Jocelyn get pretty close before they hopped away! Bye bye bunnies...bye bye Sea World! What a super fun, relaxing weekend!
