The 10 week countdown!

It's official Sawyer will be here by August 22 first thing in the morning unless I go into labor before where I will attempt a vbac unless my doctor advises otherwise.  This pregnancy has flown by and I am now off for the summer.  I feel very fortunate to have these last 10 weeks to soak up every moment with Mac as an only child.  He is super excited about his little brother and I hope this continues once he arrives.  He hugs, kisses, and talks to Sawyer daily.  Last week he told him to "Get Out!" Hahaha Mac is full of personality!!

This past month was busy wrapping another school year up and preparing for the start of another in which I will be out the first three months.  I told everyone not to do anything for us since this is our second boy.  No one listened because they said it's my first baby in Texas!  I had two cute showers thrown by the wonderful people at my school and our speech path group for the district.  I feel so blessed to work with so many people who have made Texas feel like home!

For my first week home with Mac we have been swimming, to the zoo, had a picnic, and tried out our new library!  We are going to Austin this weekend for Father's Day.  Mike wants to try out the number 1 BBQ joint in Texas! It should be a fun adventure and he is very deserving of his special day!! I can't wait to see if Sawyer will be a Mike clone too.

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!!
