Children are a Sweet and Precious Gift

Okay, lately I have just heard enough when it comes to parents talking about their children. On TV, in the community, everywhere! I just have to get on my soapbox for a moment and get some things out there in the open!
The number one BEST thing that has happened to Kyle and I since we got married has been the birth of our daughter, Ava. This experience has been incredible. My love grows daily for the Lord and for my husband and daughter because of this terrific blessing!
I am so tired of hearing parents all over the world complain about their children! Lack of sleep, lack of energy, go go go all the time, potty training, teething, etc., etc., etc.! I am surrounded by kids who have parents that seriously don't care enough to feed them, keep them clean, discipline them, meet their basic needs, and love them. It breaks my heart! And what breaks my heart even more is listening to parents who have perfectly healthy children, who are able to provide for their children, and have their basic needs met.....complain about being a parent! If you are a parent, or are about to be a parent, or someday want to be a parent....please don't complain about petty things! Love your children, care for your children, teach your children the Gospel, and Praise the Lord for your children!
I look at Ava and my heart swells with love for her. I have never in my life felt such joy and praise be to our Mighty God! It is my prayer that parents all over the world will take a look at the big picture when speaking of and thinking about their children.
That's it!

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner!  But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl.  To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever.  Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery!  Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery.  First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles.  And then the VERY worst part started.  Waiting.  Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am.  It took forever.  I was...

My Lovely Baby Bump!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day. Even though I haven't gained any weight by the doctor's scale...it's definitely growing. There has been a request to see the baby bump, so here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! This is me today at 16 weeks.

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...
