What Day Is It?

I understand now what happened to all my friend's bloggos when they had more than 2 kids! Ha. We are LOVING Hadley, of course. I have just now started to get out of the house. Went back to church last week, got my hair done this weekend, Hadley spent her first weekend away, etc. There is not much to report because all I ever do is stay here. I change two in diapers, feed 3, 3 times a day (more for Hadley still) sometimes I forget about feeding myself. Oh and I have to feed Vance too. :) 

I went to my first GNO since baby#3 was born. Celebrating one of my best friends 40th birthday. 
I've been thinking about turning 35 alot lately. It is my next birthday and I seriously can not believe I am that old. 

When I look back on my life I am satisfied with all I have done so far, but I can not help but feel a sense of panic. Turning 35 is halfway to the grave. Realistically it is middle age. There are still so many thing I want to do and places I want to go. I want to go SSOOOO many more places. 

I feel like these days the only place I go is Walmart. Seriously. 

Anyway Hadley is a doll. Emery has been acting out a little. Drawing on walls, homemade slip in slide, using the word "freakin" you know normal 4 year old stuff. 

Jesse is Jesse. :) 
Today I cleaned like a mad woman and of course went to Walmart. That's about it. 

Days are flying by and I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Hello Spring!





Easter weekend was such a fun and exhausting holiday! All five of us headed to church for the first time since Hadley was born (obviously Benji has been going and most of the time Emery, but I've been home with Hadley and Jesse). We made it all on time and all dressed, BUT we had to get up at 7am to get it all done. Ha! It felt so great to be back at church and see all my church family. I was ready for a break though as soon as I got there, haha i felt like I had run a marathon getting all 3 kids to their classes.

After church we head to Georgia to see our families. The past few Easters they have come to see us in SC, so this year we headed home. The kids had a blast with all their cousins and we got to spend time with both sets of family. LOTS of good food and sweet fun.

Hadley has fit right into our family, just like she's always been here. I am enjoying her so much. I've had a few hairy moments, days, this week. Emery's been on spring break and the weather, you all know, has been cray cray.

We are all looking forward to warmer weather and spending hours outside in the sunshine.

These Four Walls

First off let me start by saying, the 3rd baby....by far the easiest one yet. I'm not sure if it's luck or just how it is with all 3rd children. Hadley is doing awesome. I LOVE having a baby to cuddle. It has also made me appreciate special time I get alone with Emery and Jesse. All 3 are so unique and are so special in their own way to me. 

Today Emery and I went shopping together. I see alot of money and alot of time being spent between the 2 of us shopping together. Girlfriend loves shopping!




Things have been great here. Though I am getting soooo tired of being stuck in the house. I've decided Easter Sunday is our "coming out" party. I just can not sit in this house any longer staring at the same walls.

I have gotten some things done around here that I normally wouldn't have time for, but I am ready for a schedule and a life again. We all love having a new baby in the house! Yay for Hadley Carrie Ladd!

I'm Late, But I Can Not Stop



I know, I know, I know. The end of season 3 has not escaped my snooping ears. So I've heard what is coming....BUT I Just finished season 2 and I am so obsessed with this show. The best series since the first 2 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. And that is saying a lot coming from me. I am hoooooked. and I don't really have time to be hooked on any T.V show.

9 Days! Brain in Overdrive


Thankfully I have amazing friends and family and they have all set me up with the last minute things I need for Hadley. My GNO girls gave me a super fun diaper shower and I got a ton of wipes and diapers. SOOOO thankful for them and the love that we all have for each other. I seriously prayed for decades for a group of friends like this one. most of them have 3 kids too, So we can all be crazy together. :)





 This weekend we headed to Gainesville to celebrate Asher's FOURTH birthday party. For real y'all, my sister throws the best parties. This year it was a circus theme. SO FUN. Emery and Jesse had a blast and I enjoyed all the circus food a little too much.

Jesse has his 2nd birthday coming up on the 23rd. I have GOT to get prepared for that before Hadley comes and I've also got to get Emery's valentines ready for her class, since I will be in the hospital still on Valentines day. I really am so excited about having another squishy baby in the house. The only anxiety I really have is that she comes out healthy, no issues and gets to come home with us on time.

I constantly feel so undeserving off all the good things I have in my life. I can't believe God is allowing us to raise yet another one of his children. On top of all that I get to parent with the BEST husband on the planet. I seriously mean that. I try not to over emphasis all he does all the time because I realize not everyone has that. But he does more than I ever deserve. I'm trying to rest and relax these next nine days before major surgery and a new baby!
