Funny Dawson

There have been a few things Dawson had said over the past month or two that I keep meaning to write down, and now I am finally getting around to it!

1. One day as we were driving in the car Dawson blurted out "Mom, does Jesus have a pee-pee?" Talk about taking me off guard! I was able to remain composed and answer his question though.
2. I make Dawson sit down to go potty bc lets just say that if I don't, I have quite the mess to deal with. I told him that when he is 5 years old he can stand up to pee. So one day he turned to Tyler's sister, Kaitlyn, and asked "Kaitlyn, are you old enough to stand up to pee?"
3. One night Tyler's mom made breakfast for dinner and it was so yummy. Dawson wasn't too impressed though, and said bluntly to Tyler's mom. "I'm kinda bored of this dinner. I don't really like it." Ha ha ha. He definitely keeps us laughing!

Pregnancy, and New Things to Come

So I have to admit that this pregnancy has been my hardest. I don't remember my pregnancy with Dawson being hard, and with Addy I felt great as soon as my morning sickness was gone. I think the fact that I have a 3-year-old, and a 1-year-old this time around is a big contributing factor to the pregnancy being difficult. I am so at the point where I am ready to be done! I have about one more week (I have been given a couple different due dates so I'm guessing it will be another week or so). I think the main thing is that I am ready to feel comfortable again, and to be able to bend over, and to just start getting back into a work out routine. I feel so big when I am not working out regularly. Anyway, I guess that's enough complaining. I am very excited to meet this new little guy! I am very nervous about having three children under the age of four, but I know it will be worth it. 

I don't think I have mentioned yet that I am no longer going to be giving birth at a birthing center. Tyler got a new job a few months ago and we decided to go with a provider who was covered by his new insurance. I chose another midwife named Kathy Mark who delivers at Ogden Regional Hospital I am still planning on having a totally natural birth though, and my midwife is very supportive of that, and so is Tyler. I am actually very excited for that experience, and I feel prepared and ready for it!

As for new things to come, in the Fall our lives will be changing yet again. We have made the decision to move back to my home town of Hampstead, NC, and build a house. I am excited and think it will be a really good thing for our family, but at the same time I am nervous. I have really loved Utah! I love how everything is so close and convenient, and that there are always lots of kids around for my children to play with. I have learned so much living here, and I think it will be fun to incorporate the things I have learned into our new life in North Carolina. It still doesn't seem real that we will be moving there! It will be nice to live near my family, but we will obviously miss Tyler's family a ton. I feel like I have learned so much from them, and I am so grateful for them!

Summer Fun

The kids are lovin' the splash pad this year. I have decided I am only going to take them in the mornings from now on though, bc there are waaaayyy too may people there in the afternoon.

On Memorial Day we went to the Gateway Mall in SLC, and went to the splash pad there and the the Clark Planetarium. It was a fun day!
