BOY have things changed :)

Well, it has been several week since my last post.....and Baby Berryman has been with us for almost 7 weeks.......and Pokie was a BOY and his name is HENRY WILLIAM BERRYMAN! He is simply adorable and the greatest joy and Jake loves being a big brother and has adjusted VERY VERY VERY well :) I was really worried and stressed over that issue more than I needed to be :) But HENRY arrived on MAY 18TH 2009 at 9:28 am weighing 7-14 (much smaller than we thought) and 20 inches long - he had a little hair and looked JUST LIKE JAKE! Everyone says he either looks like Jake now, or like my dad :) I have so much to say so I will post again soon :)

counting down

2 more days before the new baby arrives....we are going in monday morning (may 18th) at 6:30 am to prepare for the c-section. i am excited but very nervous....i just want jake to be happy and alright with the soon-to-be changes in his life..........

jake is actually getting over a cold right now and i hope he will feel better by monday :) he has given us his "blessing" on our baby name choices at this point.....callie and henry....so we'll see on monday what it will be - soooo exciting!

still busy as ever at the berry patch - had the last BIG school group today - now i have 2 days to "relax" before pokie arrives :) jake likes strawberries this year - last year he picked them but would not eat them.....he is waiting for bluberries though...his fave food that we grow on the farm...he likes the "plump" ones

2 weeks to go

Only 2 more weeks before Pokie arrives :)

Jake is constantly making us laugh and amazing us with the things he says. Today, he got in trouble for hitting and was upset with Steve. He said "Let's go talk about it, Daddy" and led him to the table, and sat down to talk! I have not had a chance to ask Steve what Jake said after that :)

Open full-time at the berry patch - busy times!

Jake is wearing a size 6 "underwears" :)

3 more weeks

Just 3 more weeks until Baby Pokie arrives - wow! Hope the weather cools off before then....it is April but has been 95 degrees the past 3 days!

Jake is now drawing stick figures and can write a J for Jake :)

We plan to officially open at the berry patch this week :)

jake updates

Jake went to the doc today and had his blood pressure taken (93/66) and peed in a cup. He weighed 43 pounds and was 42.5 inches tall. He's off the charts, over 95% :)

He just grabbed my cell phone and said he was "texting"-

He turned 3 this past Thursday, April 16th, and had a Scooby Doo party theme with his grandparents and cousin Taylor-

Baby Pokie arrives via c-section on May 18th - 4 more weeks!

jake's 4th easter

Today, Jake celebrated his 4th Easter and he's only 2....I think I explained this neat trivia in an earlier post :) But wanted to make reference to it again!

groundhogs and plants

Today, when Jake was in the bathtub, he made a comment about the plant that is growing in a pot next to the tub. It is old and has always had brown leaves....Mommy does not have a green thumb like Daddy. Anyway, Jake said "that plant looks kinda sad" - it was cute :) And then he watered it, hoping it would "perk up" right away - and was sad when nothing changed in the plant's appearance.

Yesterday, after Jake had played hard, he was sweating. I made the comment that he was "sweating like a hog" and he later told me he was "sweating like a groundhog"..... I like that expression much better!

Baby Pokie has been moving lots and lots lately - he/she is scheduled to be delivered via c-section on May 18 at 8am - I am super excited :)
