I went to my OB today for my 33 week appointment. All is well and I'm excited to be nearing the end.
It is also Joseph Cooper's 7 year old birthday today. We went to see the movie Ice Age 3. The kids thought it was the best one. I fell asleep through the middle! Oops! Luckily, it was dark in there. Here is a picture of him when he was 3 and a half. Joseph is my only child that chose his own birthday. My water broke on its own 18 days before my due date. He came out a healthy 8 pounds. I remember when we were deciding on what to name him, Jared and I were sitting in my post-partum room discussing it. None of the names seemed to fit him. And right as the nurse was about to come in and collect all the paper work from us, I said, 'What about Joseph?' And Jared said, 'Joseph. That's it!" And right at that moment the Holy Ghost filled the room. I asked Jared if he felt it. He said he felt it too. It was such a special experience that I will never forget.
If you ask Joseph what his favorite memory of what it was like when I was pregnant with him he will tell you the story of how I burped and burped and burped his whole pregnancy long. And these weren't just little belches. These would impress Vance, for those of you who have ever heard Vance burp. Joseph loves that he did that to his mom!
