Our Family

The Shaw Family

Doug & I were married on October 6, 2005 in the Salt Lake Temple. We are currently living in the Dallas, Texas area. We have two sons, Gavin Douglas born September 18, 2009 & Liam Robert born October 14, 2011. We are so happy to be a family of four & love our boys so much! It is always one adventure after another in this house.

Just a little somethin...

So Gavin made a card that we wanted to share with all our family & friends.
{You might want to click on the image to enlarge it so you can read it better}



That's right folks. We are having another baby! We couldn't be more excited about this addition to our family. I am 14 weeks pregnant & am feeling about the same as I did expecting Gavin. Sick every morning & randomly throughout the day. But at least I do know that it will subside eventually. We have had few ultra sounds but the pictures are not very clear. It is so fun hearing the heart beat & knowing that all is well so far. Now it's just the waiting game until we find out what we are having. Any guesses? It would be easy to have a boy because they would only be 25 months apart & I already have everything, but there is a little part of me that would love a little girl. Who knows?!

Yay! Congrats Rachel & Doug :) You guys make adorable babies! I am guessing it's another boy!

Congratulations! For some reason I wasn't expecting this. I usually start to get suspicious but you got me.

Congrats!!

Anthony and Kristie said...

Congratulations:) I am so excited for you guys. I am betting on a girl. You are so good at making girl accessories for everyone else's girls, now I think you are going to be accessorizing your baby girl:)

Mackenzi said...

Congratulations!! That's so exciting! So funny, I had a dream the other night that I came to visit you, I was playing with Gavin and you told me you were pregnant! Haha. I think no matter what you have with your second baby it's perfect. Because like you said if you have a boy then it's so fun for Gavin to have a brother and you have everything, but if you have a girl it's new and you have one of each! :) Congrats again, hope your morning sickness goes away soon!

How Exciting! So Happy for you guys! Hope all is well!

Jayson and Julianne said...

Hooray!!! I couldn't be happier for you, Doug, and Gavin! That is so exciting. I agree with Kenzie in that either boy or girl is so fun. Fun for Gavin to have a brother close in age or fun to have a girl, because it's new and exciting. I hope you feel ok and I can't wait to hear what it is. I am glad that we will be going through the "2nd child" together. Our lives were too in sync for this not to happen :) Lots of love!

Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you. It would be fun to have another boy cause they will be the best of friends. But EVERY girl needs a girl!

We are super excited for you. A girl would be great so that you would no longer be outnumbered but most importantly we pray for a healthy baby and mommy!

Crescent said...

COngrats!!! I wanted to ask you....not because you look like you are pregnant AT all or because you act like it, but just because of our little conversation in Toronto a few months back:) Makes a girl curious you know!! I am so happy for you! And I hope you start feeling better soon! XOXO
