What I have to look forward to

I have several things to look forward to in the next few months. You never realize how much faster time flies, when you have something to look forward to. At least, this has always been the case for me.

1. Adam returns home from his business trip Sunday - It's too quiet around the house when he is gone. I miss adult conversation during dinner and after Mason goes to bed. Not to mention that every time Mason wakes up in the morning or from a nap, he asks for Dada. I love that he gets so excited when Dada comes home and that the two have a special bond. It just breaks my heart telling him Dada won't be home, because he doesn't understand.
2. First appointment with Dr. Finberg next Thursday - we get to hear the heartbeat and have our first ultrasound. While I'm excited, I'm a little nervous going to a new doctor. I was a patient with my previous doctor in Houston for the past 15 years.
3. My parents coming out for a visit in September - My mom called this week to finalize the dates. Adam will be in Houston for business before they arrive and if everything works out, they will take the same flight to LA. Mason not only will get to see his Daddy, but his Mimi & Granddad.
4. The Fall - I'm not a fan of the cold weather(I'm a summer girl), but I love the Fall/Winter for the clothes. I will have to explore my options this year, since I will be 4-6 months pregnant.
5. Finding out the sex of the baby in November - will it be Evan or Taylor?
6. Flying home to Houston for a 7 week visit mid November - After much discussion, we decided I would fly home early for Thanksgiving, so that I can help plan my mom's 50th birthday party the week before and stay thru Christmas. It just made sense to stay the entire time, instead of flying back after Thanksgiving and leaving 3 weeks later for Christmas. Although I will miss all of my friends here, it will be great to be with family during the holidays and not having to feel rushed to see everyone.
