A lot has happened to our lil' family since my last post in February! Every month something new is happening it seems. But let me just say this right here, right now. I have never been happier in my life! I wake up and go to bed everyday completely content, blessed, and happy with where I am, where Blake and I are in our life and in our marriage. This is how life should be.
Since February Blake and I moved from Lexington, across town and into Coral Canyon.
Our new place is sooo much better than our townhome. No stairs, no walking yards from the parking lot to our house, no more tiny patio and no more dark rooms. Our new home has a garage, every room has big windows, we have a nice backyard for the babies, and it's just all around bigger and brighter and prettier :) Our new church ward is super friendly and a lot more welcoming then our last one. I'm very grateful.
Also, funny thing, when my siblings were younger my Mom had a friend who would watch them, over the years they kept in touch and come March I realized that we had moved right across the street from my Moms old time friend! And she's one of the sweetest women I have ever met. We love you Cindy!!
A month after we moved in to our new place Blake and I learned that WE'RE HAVING A BABY !!!! We found out the end of April and are due December 31st! At 16 weeks we found out we're having a BOY!! Shortly after we discovered the lil' bean was a boy Blake caved we agreed on the name
Sawyer Scott Thompson
how do you not fall in love with a handsome name as such?!
I'm six months along now and I feel as if the next 3 months are sluggishly going to creep by. But thank goodness it's the holidays because those will help with my anxiety. Not to mention the Thompson family vaca we are going to be taking mid October! Gah!! Can't wait! I'm at the stage in my pregnancy where my ribs constantly hurt from pressure, my sciatic nerve in my lower back thinks it's funny to act up only during work and bedtime, and the exhaustion, grumpiness and lazy days are my best friend. I'm also at the stage where I can feel every move my baby boy makes (including his amazing kicks to my organs. I have the excitement to put together his nursery, I can enjoy watching Blake get excited over buying him his idea of 'handsome' clothes, i.e. Hurley, Nike, LRG etc. Which he will go to every TJ Maxx, Marshals, and Burlington in Vegas just to get the best 'deals' on his name brand clothes haha. Ultimately he lets me make the big decisions, which crib looks better, which rocker is comfier, which bottles are best. All of which I know just as much as he does. But he doesn't care, just whatever makes me happy.
Along with falling more in love with our baby everyday, I am falling more and more in love with my Babe everyday. My full grown 27(tomorrow) year old babe. My admiration for this man grows more and more with each little thing he does. When we lay on the couch with our hands on my belly and wait for his kicks. When we lay in bed and talk about how we think our stud will look and what his personality will be like. I secretly hope he has Blake's ears! I love him when I spend all night working on Sawyers painting and even though it's a wreck and I'm a wreck he still tells me it will turn out beautiful. I love that he has been to every one of my appointments with me 100% including doctor visits and treatments at the hospital, he is always there (even if he is stealing my Oreo's). I love how we share the same hopes and fears for our bundle. I love how he calls me beautiful even when I am wearing sweats, covered in paint, no make up, rat nest hair and I am equivalent to a baby whale. He still loves me and I love him even more. Most importantly I love the faith he has in me that I will be a good mother to our child. He believes in me and my abilities to be a Mom even though everyday I doubt myself and wonder what I got myself into. He is my rock and if he says I can do it, I know I can. Not only am I blessed to be having his child but my child is blessed to have him as his Daddy.
Other news:: Blake got a new job! Yupp, that's right! Working for the city of Saint George! He started a month ago and so far it's exactly what he likes. His partner is great and his shifts are awesome! 6 am to 2:30 :) so perfect! Starting October 1st I'll be going part time at work and working almost similar shifts as him. This is an amazing new stepping stone in our life and I'm excited to watch Blake progress and be happy with his new job!
This past year has been so filling and sooo new but It's an adventure I would never trade for anything! Like I said before, this is how life should be! And I couldn't be happier!
Xoxo: soon to be a Mama Thompson!
p.s. hopefully we'll be getting internet at our house soon so I won't have to post every 6 months at the Library :)
