Little Model and Big Mama

So I have been told by my mom every day this week that I need to post some pictures of Sydney. She is getting so tall, and acting so much older. She says so many funny things and loves to have her picture taken so that she can pose. When she answers yes to something that she has done instead of saying, "yes" she says, "I did." That doesn't seem funny, but it is. For example when Nick got home from work on Friday and saw that the dvd player was broken he asks Sydney, "Did you break the dvd player?" Sydney answers, "I did." It's funny to me. One of her favorite things to say is "probably...and then the answer to the question." She is having fun telling everyone that we may be naming our baby Hudson Dean or Sawyer Dean, it's up for debate and vote. It's been Hudson for so long, but I'm also loving Sawyer. So any opinion is welcome. Sydney loves to pose, read books, swim, play with friends, pretend, and help in the kitchen. She is a little Betty Crocker. As for the big mama. I had friends say, "you need to post some preggo pictures." I haven't posted any since I was 24 weeks and here I am at 35. Wow how time has gone by. I'm getting super exctied to have this little guy get here. In the past two weeks I have had two showers and received a lot of great stuff. Most of the big stuff we already have because of Sydney, but I forgot how much little "stuff" you have to have when a baby comes. We are getting excited for Granny to come visit, a little vacation shortly after the baby comes, a visit from Grandma, and then a vacation home to Utah where we will be blessing the baby in Cedar. Our summer is pretty much full, and the time will fly. We are still having pleasant enough weather, but the heat is coming. I go to the doctor on Tuesday and she will check me then to see what, if any progression has occured. Hopefully we will have some good news. I want him here in 4 weeks. Nick is doing well at work and is seeing a lot of traffic. It's still crazy to me that he is controlling planes on his own now. He's doing a great job and is getting ready to get some more certifications in the near future. Only 9 more until he is completely done training. Seems like a lot. We are also hoping for some good news this next week because the FAA and the controller union have gone back to negotiations for a new contract, and we know it's only going to get better. How much better? We don't know but we are really excited to see. Enough of the boring chatter here are the pictures.

Ok seriously? I could scream at you! You look so great! How could you think you look too big... I think I'll take it as an insult because at 35 weeks I was just as big if not larger...haha... ok I forgive you:)

Sydney is a ham! I can only imagine how grown up she is acting. That sounds like fun:) By the way, I'm digging on both those names you've chosen... I kind of like Sawyer most... I like how it flows with Sydney. Sawyer and Sydney, Sydney and Sawyer!

We are too anxiously awaiting a change in the FAA contract:) Hope it's fabulous. I swear it's all these boys talk about. Tim's learned to not say anything to me unless there is real news to discuss...LOL!

Anyhow, I'm so glad you posted pics (finally!) and we miss you all like crazy. Talk to you soon. Seriously!

P.S. I'm not sure this post is long enough, so I wanted to ask you one quick question- Does it hurt your ears when a penny hits the floor of the pool (underwater of course)? LOL.

I think you look adorable pregnant! Why can't we see your face? Sydney looks so grown up. Like she's 16 or something. I agree with Christine about the flow of Sydney and Sawyer but with my lisp it comes out Thydney and Thawyer Thtaples. Oh well. Thanks for the pictures. I'm excited to see all of you in 26 days.

You're so gay, uncover your face! Jk because I totally understand how you feel. You look great though! I love both the names... They are both super cute. I've always loved Sawyer!

Holly Erhard said...

Oh my gosh! Hudson is the name we have picked out for our little guy also! That's funny! I can't believe how big Sydney is now it is soo crazy how fast they grow up. And you look GREAT for being preggo! I can't believe you covering your face! SILLY!!

Katie said...

Your so funny with the paper in front of your face! You are looking great though. Sydney is getting so big and her hair is so light. You must be spending lots of time at the pool :) I know quite a few people with Hudson and it is cute but for that reason alone I think I would go with Sawyer if it were me. I like it the best.

You look awesome Laurel!! Seriously... so so cute. And I can't believe how long your hair is.. that freaking grows like a weed! Sydney is such a doll.. I showed Spencer her modeling pics and he made me send the pics to his phone that instant so he could have them as wall paper... Love her! She's a major blondie. Okay so 34 days... 4 weeks.. I am incredibly jealous.. but way excited for you! Can't wait to see you guys!

Love ya!

Laurel you look so cute. You aren't even that big. Sydney is so freakin cute. She could be on America's Next Top Model with those poses. I love both names. Can't wait to see you.

Sarah C said...

You are a nerd! I can't believe you covered your face! I choose Sawyer. I like Sawyer and Sydney. Or Sarah, as I have said before it works for both girls AND boys.

Carli said...

Laurel, uncover your cute little pregnant face. I better see another picture on here soon. Even though I get to see you all the time, everybody else wants to also. Don't you have that baby before I get home. Love ya!!
