Summer Time Fun

I feel so lucky to get to work full time with a job I love and have all summer off to soak up my family and friends!  This summer is super special since it is my last summer with Mac as my only... Oh me such mixed emotions.  This summer has been full of going to the zoo, train museums, pool, beach, splash pads, and play dates.

                               Mowing grass with daddy for the first time! He loved it!

Happy Birthday America!!

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!!
