Today, Tim, Randy and I were going to the doctor since I needed to go to my bi-weekly appointment to check on the baby. It was still awestrucking that we were in the third trimester! We were in the final stretch of the game as I thought was baseball talk. We were on third base and now we just had a couple months before we were on home base and had baby Hannah with us!

Since the boys had no school, Randy had asked if he could go with us. Since I saw no reason that he couldn't (Tim didn't either), we allowed him to go with us. While we were at the doctor's office, we were trying out having Brad and Mark being home alone. We knew things would go well since they'd probably both watch TV or do stuff in their rooms or go to friends houses (which was allowed if they left notes on who they were going to see).

"Mom, do you get to have an ultrasound today?" Randy asked.

I shook my head. "No, honey, I'm sorry. Not for a few weeks. But, do you want to get to hear her on the Doppler?"

"Yes, please!"

I smiled. "If the doctor says okay, then it's fine with me."

"Thanks, Mom!"

I kissed his head and put my arm around him. Now, we were just waiting for Tim to get here so that we could go to the doctor's office. I was experiencing the normal pregnancy pain at this point and I was starting to leak in both private places. Both were uncomfortable, but it was under control. After the baby would be born, I knew it'd be gone, so I wasn't worried.

"Ready to go?" Tim asked as he quickly massaged my shoulders.

"Yep. Randy, are you?"

"Yeah!"

I smiled at him and kissed his head again. Running to the station wagon, we ran (Tim and Randy did. I waddled) to the car and Tim held the door open for me. I got in and Tim shut it after I was in the car. Tim kissed my head and let me try to sleep in the car.

"Dad, if the baby's a girl does that mean you'll have to go to ballet?" Randy asked. "Will we?"

Tim nodded. "Most likely, your sister will be in dance, but you'll like it."

"Probably not, but okay."

Tim chuckled. "How are my queen and princess doing?"

I laughed. "Hannah's making it hard for me to sleep, so nothing's new."

Tim laughed. "Poor thing. Are you keeping Mommy awake?"

We laughed and pulled into the doctor's office. Tim opened my door and held my hand as we headed into the doctor's office. He signed us in and we sat in the waiting room for my prenatal appointment. Randy was bored so Tim lent him a sports magazine and I started trying to read a pregnancy magazine. The time seemed to fly by since I saw the nurse walk over.

"Jill Taylor," The nurse called with a smile.

I saw with a smile that my weight was 167 pounds. I was normal weight for my term.

The appointment was quick. We did a urinalysis and checked my vitals along with the Doppler.

"That's cool, Mom! I love hearing my baby sissy," Randy smiled.

"My healthy little girl," I smiled.

...

I laid on the couch with Athena at my feet and Apollo laying on the floor beside the couch protectively. When Mark walked over, Apollo barked protectively and stood in front of me. With a chuckle, I beckoned for Mark to come here and had Apollo get down.

"Mom, what's 28 divided by seven?" Mark asked.

I chuckled. "Four, honey."

"Can I talk to the belly?"

I laughed softly. "Go ahead, honey."

"Hi, Hannah. I don't really know what to say but hi. I hope you like it in there and I hope you'll like me."

I chuckled. "Honey, the baby will love you. Go do your homework."

Mark ran off happily and Tim went to rub my belly. Apollo growled at Tim but sat down and acted like a guard dog towards me. Athena would come up to let me pet her, but she'd avoid my belly.

"Hello my queen and my princess," Tim kissed me. "How are the both of you?"

I laughed softly. "Hurting and tired."

"Aww, my poor women. Can a massage and a kiss for both of you make it better?"

I laughed. "It sure can."

I turned around and Tim started massaging my back. I moaned happily and he kept massaging it. His hands were a little chilly, but hey, that was okay. Right now,I was flaming hot.

"Daddy loves you, Hannah," Tim kissed my belly.

I smiled and kissed him. "And I love you, Tim."

...

"Mom, can Randy and I talk to the baby?" Brad asked.

I nodded with a smile. "Sure, honey."

"Hey, Hannah? Guess what its's doing outside? It's raining. No need to be scared though! Your big brothers are here! We won't let anyone hurt you and you can always come to us when you're in trouble!" Brad smiled.

Randy nodded. "We're here to make you and Mom feel better."

I kissed both of their heads. "How did we get so lucky to have such brave boys?"

Brad grinned. "I dunno. I love you, Hannie."

"I love you, Sissy," Randy hugged me.

I smiled. "And Hannah loves both of you."
