Recap

These two were snapped just seconds apart- what a good helper :)

Playground in NC-he looks so grown up!

Jetskiing in the pool- it has a motor and a water gun!

Fireworks on the boat! He loved it!

Well, our trip home from NC was great- Sawyer was very well behaved. He was SO glad to be home with his toys, dog, and daddy :) He got a new bubble mower for being such a good boy and let me tell you- the kid LOVES the thing. "mow mow MOW!!!" and then, "bubbles! BUBBLES!!!" what could be better. My mom also brought over my old american girl baby doll (which happens to be asian lol) and my old doll high chair for Sawyer to play with. He was excited to see the "baby" and to point out its "eyes" he also still likes to see pictures of baby Henry- so Im hoping this means he is going to be a good big brother in 6 months! And really 6 months dosent seem like nearly long enough anymore to get all the things done I would love to have finished before adding another child to our family- but perhaps that also comes from my total lack of energy/motivation. Im literally counting down these last few days of my first trimester. I honestly can say I am not a first trimester fan- is anyone? Give me a huge belly and being able to not tie my shoes over nausea and fatigue any day. The good news is the end is in sight and honestly ive had things pretty easy both times. And the exciting news- my baby bump is starting to show! Ill only be 13 weeks tomorrow but my bump already looks like it did when I was 16 weeks with Sawyer. I guess you do pop sooner the 2nd time- even people at work have commented on it, and thats when im wearing scrubs.

And our wedding anniversary is coming up soon! 3 years :) Guess we have been busy in 3 years ;) We contemplated what to do/going somewhere but to be honest staying home just sounded so nice- I havent been home for a weekend (and working dosent count) since... um May maybe- I dont even remember! So we havent decided what we are going to do yet.

And I never had time to say anything about 4th of July, but it was great- we were down at the lake, which was a good thing because I heard the weather at home wasnt very nice. Sawyer LOVED the fireworks- we saw them both the 3rd and 4th. He points up and says "boom, boom, boom" and he STILL talks about them and laughs. And Uncle Ben got Sawyer an inflatable jet ski- with a motor, and he rode that around the pool. We had a lot of fun- only a few more weeks and we will be there with our friends!
