BIG Brother

We were so nervous about having our second child. We were scared that Mason would be jealous and have animosity towards to Mazy. That is the fullest from the case. Mason adores Mazy! He is such a helper. He always ask me if he can babysit her. As I went to get their change of clothes I asked Mason if he would "babysit" her. This is what I saw when I returned! Mazy also adores Mason. She is always watching what he is doing. Getting her to sleep is a challenge because she wants to know what Mason is doing at all times.

Radiator Springs

We were driving to Union Station and we were in a dilapidated part of Kansas City. Mason says "Mom, are we in Radiator Springs?" For those of you that do not know that this the town where the movie Cars takes place. My little man is such a thinker. I truly enjoy having "adult" conversations with him. I am so thankful for my time off to spend with the loves of my life!

Memorial Day

We really try to make my parents a part of Mason's life. This is not super easy because he has never met them and does not really understand where they are. It is days like this that make me happy and sad at the same time. We visited my parents at their graves. We cleaned their headstones and planted flowers. I love and adore the time I get to spend with my family. Here are a few pictures from our day:

38 Weeks

Just wanted to give the world an update on our baby girl. I went to the doctor yesterday for my 38 week appointment. She said that I am dilated and even effaced. However, the baby has not dropped yet. She seems to think that once the baby drops I will go into labor. She also mentioned that she thinks I will deliver within a week. We will spend this weekend preparing for our baby and our move.

Lovin' Life

I know that it has been a long time since I have blogged. Life is going by way too fast. Right now I am in the process of closing out a school year, packing up a classroom, moving to a bigger house and I am 37 weeks pregnant. To say that we are busy is an understatement.

After attending a retirement party then Emma and Gretchen's preschool graduation I rushed home to put Mason in bed. I truly almost cried that I was only able to spend about 15 minutes with him tonight. I just hate how busy May is. I cannot wait for life to slow down. Oh wait, will it ever?

ALL ABOARD

We all know how much Mason loves trains. For Christmas he received a train conductor costume. Normally he will put it on for a few seconds and want to take it right off. Tonight he wore this around the house searching for train tickets. He was also shouting, "ALL ABOARD!" I love this guy!

Baby Name

I am officially 33 weeks today! This morning Steve and I created a list of things we need to do to prepare for this blessing. We listed things like wash clothes, get diapers, etc. I then mentioned we should probably decide on a name. This has been a topic of discussion since January when we found out we were having a girl. After Steve and I were married we discussed baby names before we were even pregnant. We both liked Mazy for a girl. When we were pregnant with Mason we did not know if he was a boy or girl. We liked the names Mason and Ty for a boy and Mazy Jo for a girl. Well we all know how that turned out. :)

When we found out we were pregnant with a girl this time I thought it was a given, we would name her Mazy. It was not that easy. Steve was not on board as much as I was with the Mazy. He really liked the name Rosie after his Grandmother Rosalie. I loved Rosalie but did not like Rosalie Jo. The name Jo is a Freeman family tradition. My sister and I have the middle name of Jo. This is after my Aunt Joyce, who is my Mom's sister. Needless to say, Steve and I were not on the same page. After many discussions and prayers for guidance to name our daughter we have come to an agreement.

As of right now, our daughter will be named, drum roll please...............

Mazy Jo
