Almost 25 Weeks....

and I cannot wait for Scott Gregory to get here! As I continue to grow, and feel Scott moving more frequently I get more and more excited about having another baby. I have been doing a lot of thinking back to Will as a newborn, and that incredible time Patrick and I shared with our little boy. I know this time it will be so different, but just as incredible. Expanding our family to 4 is such an exciting thing. I cannot wait to see Will with his little brother. I cannot wait to see Patrick with his new son. I cannot wait to hold Scott in my arms and see what he looks like. I look forward to seeing our boys grow up together and realizing their differences, and what qualities they both share. Being a Mom is truly the greatest gift God gives us women, and I feel so blessed to have another little boy joining our family.

Now, I need to get moving on getting the world ready for him. I have got to pick out bedding. We have got to get his room painted, and decorated. Maybe I am not quite as ready as I thought...

Happy Mother's Day!

We used Mother's Day as an excuse to get the Williams side of the family together at my parents house on Saturday ... it seems like as all of us cousins get older and busier we see less of each other. It was a great afternoon full of kiddoes, fabulous food (always when cooked by YaYa), and family.

23 weeks down...

and 17 to go! Woohoo! Things are going well with the pregnancy. I am growing, and can tell Baby Scott is too. I am starting to "see" him moving through my belly more often. He does not really have a routine yet, he has random times where he will be really active, and then will be very still for while. He definitely reacts to certain foods though .... mostly sugar (which I should stop eating so much of!)

Will is doing great. He is really learning things right now. He identifies the letter W anywhere he sees it ... and calls the M an upside down W. he is able to identify several letters and numbers and we are working hard on relating letters and sounds. He tells me all the time, "W says w, w, w, WILL!" Too cute. Another thing he is really into right now is Play-Doh. He wants it out ALL the time. Unfortunately, he has also picked up some not so great habits at school. He has said a few words I don't like coming out of his 3 year old mouth. It is apparent some of his friends must have older brothers and sisters. He also has a friend, Joshua, that he is so excited to see every day. Funny thing is that Joshua's mother and I worked together last year. We are planning to get the boys together over the summer.

I really need to take some pictures of Will. He is getting so big! I am amazed every day that my baby boy is no longer a baby ... and he lets us know that constantly. I sure am glad another baby is on the way!
