Like Father, Like Son

Read loves his Daddy. It is very sweet to see his excitement when David comes home from work. When Daddy is home, Read is his little shadow. It is amazing that at such a young age, they learn and mimic the examples around them. Just tonight, Read was trying to help Daddy load the bicycles in the truck. The other night, he was trying to fertilize the grass--just like Daddy.

I love this picture. Read went and found a magazine and then joined Daddy on the couch. It was taken back in Dec.-Christmas Eve. David loves his hair in this picture! It was Christmas Eve Morning. We were all just chillin'!

I am grateful that though he is Daddy's little shadow, during the day when David is at work, Read makes me feel loved. He saves his favoritism for when David is home.

Little one on its way!

It is difficult to imagine but our clan is expanding! This new little one will be joining our family in Aug. We had our 20 week ultrasound today. We did not find out the gender. I had always thought it would be fun to have a surprise when we had a boy and a girl. Well, we finally have both so here is our opportunity. It has been so tempting to cave in. There certainly are advantages to finding out early. Thankfully, David has been on board with the idea. I ultimately decided I would regret not waiting.

The ultrasound was still exciting and always a miracle to see the little life growing inside! The technician was amazing and very talkative. She was very supportive to us waiting and said we would avoid the area all together. This little one looks great and my placenta is great this time so we are going to try for a VBAC. The Doctors are very encouraging and say I am the perfect candidate. On the way out, the technician did say, I do know what you are having!! David was intently looking the whole time hoping to accidentally find out! She said she went so quickly by, we never would have known! So crazy not to know right now! Looking forward to Christmas in August!!
