Spring is here!

We have had spring fever bad around here, so we are so glad that the weather is finally nice! Dawson LOVES to play outside, and I think he would stay outside all day if we let him. He got a little tricyle for his birthday last year, and he finally learned how to ride it. As much as we love this spring weather, we are even more excited about this summer! We have 2 beach trips planned, and we can't wait!! Dawson has been every year since he was born, and he LOVES the beach! We do an annual girls "Mommies and Babies" trip in July with a few of my friends and our moms and kiddos. It is always a blast! This year myself, David and Dawson are going with our friends Aaron, Andrea and their adorable baby Addison, in August. We are counting down the days until we are on the beach!

I had my dr's appointment yesterday, and we got to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat! It was 158, and everyone keeps telling me that is a "girl" heartbeat! I would love to buy sweet dresses and big hairbows, but I would also love to have another little boy to love on and play cars with! Regardless, we just want a healthy, happy baby. Dawson has decided that he wants to name the baby "Shark", and I have no clue where he got this from! He went through a shark phase around Christmas so maybe that is resurfacing?!? I guess for now I will refer to the baby as "Shark"! It is better than calling it an it, I think!
This was my attempt to get Dawson to smile and take a picture while he was eating his snack! Bad timing on my end!

He'd Rather Have a Dinosaur


Dawson has some really big news!!

He's going to be a BIG BROTHER!!! His shirt says " I am going to be a big brother, but I'd still rather have a dinosaur!" I tried so hard to get him to stand up so I could get a good picture of his shirt, but he is too much of a busy body these days! Little brother or sister is due October 31, which is also Dawson's birthday! What a crazy coincidence, right!! My dr. said he will do a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks though, so we are thinking sometime around October 22. I have already been to see my dr., and I get to go back next week to hear the heartbeat! We are all so, so excited, and can't wait to meet this new little addition to our family! I can't wait for Dawson and his new little brother or sister to grow up together and be the best of friends!
