Baby #3, are you serious?!?!?

Yes, you have heard right... baby number three is on the way!!! We are beyond excited! To say this baby was a surprise would be an understatement. We were very set on just having two but the Lord is seemingly saying that we are not done! As shocked as we still are we are so excited and feel so blessed that we are going to be parents to three children. What sweet gifts from God they are!
We haven't had our "official" first appointment yet, although I did have to go in a few days ago for some pain I was having. At that appointment, thankfully, they found nothing to be wrong, just chalked it up to my muscles being so, and I quote "stretched and tired" (nice)... that I was just feeling the stretching of the baby. But after insulting my stomach muscles ;) the nurse told us that this little one will more than likely be due at the end of October (no exact date yet). We go back in March so hopefully we will know a little more then! We can't wait!
P.s. I will take any and all suggestions on how you Moms of three survive from day to day :)

Let it Snow!

So this is from forever ago... but we had a snow day not too long ago in Mobile! It was wonderful! Ryan is OBSESSED with weather - so he had the tv on the news almost as loud as it would go just waiting for them to say it was fixing to start snowing in West Mobile. It finally did snow, but it did not stick :( We had such a great time running around like crazies in our front yard! Garrison loved it and said "I'm going to eat this snow" over and over and over, Allie-Parker wasn't too crazy over it but she was a champ and did not fuss even though she had about 5 shirts on.
After it stopped snowing at our house, we decieded that it would be a great idea (sarcastic) to drive to Mt. Vernon during naptime to see more snow and build a snowman. Being honest here, the drive was just horrendous, the babies were not very happy... but once we got there it was so worth it. We built two snowmen and had fun playing with Gigi, Aunt Celeste and Mimi. Thankfully the ride home went a lot smoother... we stopped and got a "box juice" and all was good again with Garrison :)

The redneck snowman, complete with Hunters orange hat, Garrison loved him though, he would just stare at him and laugh and say "How are you snow man, you cold?" Hilarious.
Right before I got smacked with the snowball Ryan is holding...

Please note Garrison's outfit, I was totally unprepared... I have plenty of sunscreen, bathing suits, etc. but obviously no winter gear for my children!
