Just keep waiting waiting waiting

I am 39 weeks today and I am so thankful for this healthy smooth pregnancy, but I am also sooooo ready to have this baby in my arms. I know Dory doesn't say waiting, but that has ran through my head lots this week. Lol I do not remember being this ready with Mac. I think it has a lot to do with a. I am more confident now with babies b. we have no idea what Sawyer looks like, and c. Last week I was 2 cm and 80%! I just knew he was coming last week.

I cannot wait to see Mac meet his little brother (tears form just imagining this moment). I cannot wait to really savor the itty bitty time. That is something I do not feel you do as much with your first because you are so terrified. I cannot wait to hopefully be successful breast feeding again. Selfishly I am ready to lose this weight and workout again. 30 extra lbs makes it difficult to be a fun mommy!

Mac had an atypical umbilical cord, so we had a really good idea from all the ultrasounds what he looked like. The only ones I have had with Sawyer were to confirm and the 20 week. Now do not get me wrong I am beyond thankful for a healthy baby, but I have never been good with waiting on presents! Ha

Mac came at 39 weeks and like 3 days, so hopefully history repeats itself. If you know me well you know I am very organized and a planner, but with pregnancy I love the excitement of going into labor unexpectedly. I know weird! I secretly hope for a cool water breaking experience. Lol.

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.
