Blessed

Having so many days off of work has really given me a lot of time to reflect on just how blessed I am. How blessed WE are. The Lord is good, all the time, and I just want to kick myself when I sit still and realize how He has impacted our lives, and how ungrateful I am. I think about all the complaining I do on a daily basis and I realize that there is nothing to complain about.

The Lord has blessed me with an amazing husband who I have so much fun with. He's blessed me with an incredible baby girl, who makes me smile and makes my heart melt. He's blessed our family with health and has provided for us financially and physically and every other way. I should constantly praise Him and glorify Him and tell others about Him. But I don't always do this, and it's frustrating. Many times I get caught up in worldly things and routines and schedules and that's not good. I'm really trying to change. I am so thankful to have a Christian husband who can encourage me to do better.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you spend during your day complaining and grumbling, gossiping and talking bad about others? What about putting yourself down? I am the queen of all of this as much as I hate to admit it! All of these things are from Satan. How does he sneak into our lives so easily?

So, as I said before, I'm working hard to change. I want to catch myself, and instead of falling into those sinful ways, I'll try to turn whatever is being said or thought into a positive and remember the perspective I have right now. I am blessed. So blessed. All of these blessings are from our perfect Savior. I need to glorify our awesome God in all that I do and say.

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...
