Oh Boys!!

On April 4th we found out another sweet little boy will be coming into our lives!!!  His name is going to be Michael "Sawyer" Rigby.  Michael is after his awesome daddy and Sawyer we just loved.  Mac and Sawyer will be into lots of mischief growing up together.  My prayer and hope for our boys is for them to be kind to everyone.  I want them to be the boys that are little gentlemen and who take up for kids that are being bullied or singled out.  I want them to see people for who they are.  I hope I am always the Christian example that I need to be for them.

I grew up with brothers and it seems that I will officially be out numbered by boys the rest of my grown up life.  There maybe a third chance for a little girl, but even so we will still be out numbered.  I LOVE LOVE having a little boy!!  Little boys are insanely crazy about their mommy and to think I will have TWO that way makes me eager for August to arrive.  My ultrasound pictures were not as clear as they were with Mac, so I really cannot tell a whole lot about this little guy.  He is super active and was actually punching at the ultrasound machine for most of his pictures.

 Oh Sawyer you are already, so loved and we cannot wait to bring you into this crazy world.  Mac has already cleared a path for you and I am ready for all the peculiar things you boys do like chew on grass, eat dog poop, pick up dog poop to help mommy...., pee everywhere, and play with bugs and worms.  I am sure you will add to this list and it will all make me love you even more.

 

P.S. Please have blue eyes!!

Sweet daddy moments

Mommy and their sons definitely have a very loving and neat bond, but a father and son relationship is so exciting to watch! I am daily watching our little man evolving into his father. I have really been blown away with how many things he has taken interest in that are just like his daddy. I will say Mac may not have gotten much from me which is totally fine, but he definitely has momma's personality!! The most out going little boy around! I just love it and even on days when I would like a second of silence I embrace it because I work with to many sweet boys whose moms would love to be in my shoes.

In saying all this I wanted to document a very special moment for daddy today. If you know my husband then you know he goes to Home Depot almost daily. Mac was in there at like 2 weeks old. Mike is very handy and always "needing" something. Today he came in and said he was going to Home Depot. Mac screamed "daddy daddy I want to go to pepot!" We both got so excited! Mike has probably been waiting on that moment since he knew Mac was a boy. I love my boys!!

You know you're a Speech Pathologist when...

A couple of months ago this was posted in our monthly speech meeting.  I loved it and had to share!  Every bit of it is true and I feel my fellow SLPs will feel the same!  I honestly feel I have one of the best jobs in the world!!!

 

 

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A SPEECH PATHOLOGIST WHEN......

 

 

*You speak entirely in acronyms (just ask my husband).

 

*You are the only adult who still plays with bubbles on a daily basis and enjoys it.

 

*You could easily do language therapy with the items in your purse.

 

*You understand that "ship" and "sip" do not begin with the same sound.

 

*Friends and family ask you to assess their children and you already did it mentally without them knowing.

 

*You genuinely enjoy your job everyday!
