The Excitement Is Growing!


I will be 11 weeks pregnant Thursday and I feel like it is slowly creeping along. Don't get me wrong, I am trying to enjoy each day of this pregnancy because I wasn't sure that I would ever get this chance again. We've had to wait so long after Kaleb and Kami due to lack of insurance and bad timing with all our moving. Then, when we finally decided it was a good time and we had a really hard time getting pregnant. Now, it finally happened! I praise God for this opportunity everyday. I am just so anxious to meet my new little one. I am excited to see what God has given us. I can't wait to start picking out pink or blue blankets and onesies.
Kami is so excited to be a big sister. She wants to rock and sing the baby to sleep. She is so sweet! I think she will be such a big helper. We found some pjs that said big sis and I couldn't resist! She is so proud of them!

Kaleb is doing so well in baseball. I am so exited to go watch him play. He wants to practice every chance he gets. He has decided he is going to teach the baby how to play baseball "even if it's a girl!" I think when the baby finally gets here he will do so awesome with it.

I honestly have to say, I have the best hubby in the world. He gets me whatever I am craving (and you never know what that might be with my evening sickness!!) and brings me a drink just because. And, he has still been patiently putting up with my moody behavior that I hope goes away soon!! Tim really is a good guy and I love him to pieces. He is such a great dad and I can't wait to raise this baby with him too.

God has totally blessed us with everything we need and pretty much everything we want! He is good all the time, all the time He is good!!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!!


I love baseball! Actually our whole family loves baseball. The only thing that could make it better is watching my son play it. He is playing for the Braves this year and they have the cutest little uniforms. He started machine pitch this year and his first game was last night. And although it was a complete chaotic mess, I love watching him play.

They lost terribly, but Kaleb got a base hit and he caught a grounder in right field. He had another game tonight and it went so much better. They won their game and played so well as a team. Kaleb got another base hit tonight and scored a run. He got a chance to play 3rd base and left field as well. It is so fun to see him cheer for his team and learn how to be a good sportsmen. He is making new friends and learning new skills. He has a coach who use to play minor league ball so he has alot of great things to bring to our team.

We have 18 games this season and Kaleb is sad he has to miss a week of games to go to the beach in April. How funny is that! He'd rather play ball than go build a sandcastle! I really look forward to the rest of the season and watching Kaleb improve. I'll be updating you on his team throughout this season.

Selfishness


“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Phil. 2:3-4)

I read this verse today in my weekly marriage builder email by Jimmy Evans. I was so touched by this verse. I really have not been the easiest person to live with since becoming pregnant. Between the nausea, tiredness, and scare of losing the baby. I've blamed my crazy behavior on the pregnancy and my raging hormones. When you're pregnant you typically get this attitude of "I am sooo important because I am carrying this new life" and occasionally go overboard. I know I should be giving it to God and praying this verse. I have the most amazing, caring, loving and forgiving husband and I am grateful God gave him all to me. I want to be more bearable the rest of this pregnancy. I still have 30 weeks to go and I know I need to try harder to be the wife Tim deserves and the mom my kids need. I pray you will read this verse and really think about what it means. I challenge you to try and apply it in your life this week.

What's new at the Adams' house!


Tuesday we went to pick up Kaleb's new glasses. He is not thrilled to have to wear them. He actually hates them. Tim and I have tried to convince him it's no big deal. We both wear them and 3/4 of his friends do too. He is afraid people will laugh. I don't want him to get his feelings hurt, but I can't protect him forever. So for now, we are taking it one day at a time. He does look really cute and super smart in them though!



I have been anxious to buy something for the baby, but don't want to spend alot of money. So, I decided to be brave and make some burp rags for our darling. I really am not great with a sewing machine, but am learning and can't wait to do a blanket next.

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait!


We have some GREAT news!!! God has answered our prayer and blessed us with baby #3. We had a sonogram Monday, March 8 to determine the due date and it looks like our bundle of joy should be here around October 21. That means I am already almost 8 weeks along! We are so excited and and can't wait to meet our new addition. We did have a brief scare last week because the dr. couldn't find the baby, but everything turned out fine and we are praying for a successful pregnancy along with a healthy baby. Please join us in our prayer. The kids are so excited to have a new brother or sister coming. Kami will get to be a big sister for the first time and she is ready to take on the position. Kaleb can't wait to teach the baby the ABC's and Yankee Doodle. Tim and I feel like we are starting over with this one now that Kami is almost 6 and Kaleb almost 8. That's ok, we are up for the challenge as well. We are just taking it one day at a time for now but I promise to update you all on our progress. Expect many updates on Adams' baby #3!
