The big reveal was a family affair. TJ & Grandma joined Mommy & Daddy for the ultrasound. All this time, TJ had said he was getting a baby sister, but on the way to the hospital, he changed his mind and told us all, "Um... I think it's a boy." And boy was he right!
We weren't sure how TJ would do during it, but he was awesome! He was very excited to see the baby, and he talked excitedly about his baby brother. He even asked Daddy if the ultrasound tech was a doctor. Frankie told him yes, and TJ turned to her and said, "How you gonna get my baby brother out?" TJ lasted about 20 minutes before he got bored, and he and Grandma left the room to go play.
The little guy is quite the mover, just like his older brother. It was so fun to watch him squirm around. He's also very healthy, and everything is growing just as it should. For that, we are grateful. Since TJ his named after his Grandpa, we've decided to name his baby brother after Daddy -- Robert Frank Martin, Jr. For now, we'll call him Baby Frankie. Although, we had to explain to TJ his name isn't Boy like he had been calling the little guy.
Grandma was able to stay with us for a few more days after the ultrasound. Unfortunately, she was here for the five straight days of rain in the Bay Area. We couldn't get out to do much, but that didn't matter to TJ. He had fun staying home with Grandma, playing cars, drawing pictures, playing puzzles and tearing the house apart! We did manage to get out of the house to show off TJ's new gymnastics skills and have Mickey Mouse pancakes at the Blvd. Cafe. It was a great visit, and althought TJ was sad when Grandma left, we're excited because we'll be in Colorado in just a few weeks to celebrate Christmas early.
