Some Thoughts I'm Having

It's only about 2 days before baby Marshall makes his arrival. I am excited to hold my precious little boy in my arms at last but I can't help thinking about my sweet Gavin.
I'm sure this is normal. I am sad for him. He has no clue how much his little world is about to change. He has been the center of our lives for so long. He has gotten all of Mommy and Daddy's attention. He has been spoiled.
These past few days I find myself giving more hugs and more cuddles and being more emotional when I watch him. He is so special and such a good boy. We have been truly blessed by having him in our family. He is so smart and loving and kind. He is definitely Mommy's little buddy and Daddy's playmate! We have so much fun together, the three of us.
I have always known that Gavin wouldn't be our only child but the transition is making me very emotional. And although I will miss our little family of three I know that becoming a family of four is what God wants for us.
I am excited for Marshall and so is Gavin! Every night when Gavin says his prayers he asks Heavenly Father to bless baby Marshall and then gives my tummy hugs, kisses and "moochies" aka Eskimo kisses. My prayer is that Gavin will adjust well and that I can be a good mommy to both Gavin and Marshall.

A Night at the Ball Park

Back in May Eric won some tickets to the D-Backs game!! It was so much fun! They were great seats. Gavin did a lot better then we thought he would and he loved it. The people behind us kept yelling at the players and then Gavin would repeat what they said. It was so funny. Every one around us was laughing. And of course we had the token drunk couples in front of us to keep us entertained as well. There was lots of laughes and good time even though the team lost. I hope we can do it again soon!
