Life As We Know It

Life is a little crazy for our little family right now.  I am still on bed rest...going to the doctor tomorrow and specialist on Wednesday.  I keep hoping for really good news but things haven't changed much.  Thankfully I have started to feel Carson and Harper kicking a little in my belly and it's amazing how those little kicks can fill my heart with hope that all will be okay.  I know people are afraid to ask me if I am scared.  Am I scared?  Yes I am.  I am scared out of my mind.  BUT, I do have hope.  And, I know God is in control of Carson and Harper, their health, and their life.  I know the Lord has already picked their birthday.  

My days have been filled with magazines, movies, lots of TLC, and more TV.

We have tried to keep life close to normal for the boys.  They have been amazing with this adjustment.  They love to play outside and ride their bikes at Granny's house.  On this pretty morning, we didn't even make them change out of their pajamas.  I love to sit outside in a chair and watch them play...never knew fresh air would feel so fabulous!

Oh what fun two little 3 year old boys can have with a bucket!!

The boys have discovered Legos at MeMe's house.  She saved all of the Legos from when my sister and I were little.  These 30 year old Legos have provided hours and hours of entertainment for our boys.  So fun!  Nathan and Jordan have built countless Lego spaceships, racecars, and castles.  I'm pretty sure Bryan has enjoyed these Legos just as much as they have too!

Bryan had the day off of work today so he took the boys to run errands for one of their special boy days!  They were gone from the house for about 5 hours so I got lots of text picture updates on their day.

Stop #1: Haircuts.  I'm pretty sure N and J are the only 3 year olds that actually like to get their haircut.

The best part about a haircut...the lollipop!  Nathan picked this lollipop because "it's like the Riddler because the Riddler has that on his tummy."  He cracks me up!

Stop #2: The Tailor - had to pick up Daddy's dress pants.  It still cracks me up that Bryan wears dress pants and a tie to work every day this year.  I had gotten so accustomed to his athletic shorts and gray football t-shirt with all his years of coaching.  But, he sure is handsome all dressed up for work each day.  

Stop #3: Home for a quick pit stop.

Stop #4: Lunch at Chick-Fil-A!

Stop #5: Target - Oh, and yes, Bryan took their picture with a stranger's car because the boys were convinced that it was "Snotrod" from the Cars movie!  Jordan said he even had his "snort" on the hood.  So funny!!

Daddy found some great Spiderman shirts for Superhero day at school!

And none of my three boys can go to Target or Walmart without visiting the toy aisle.

I stayed home today and watched a lot of TLC, read some magazines, played on the computer, and that's about it.  Life as we know it is not very normal right now.  I will be 18 weeks pregnant on Wednesday...praying that the next 18 weeks go quickly and smoothly while we wait for our sweet babies to arrive.  God is taking very good care of us and proving himself to be sitting on His throne.  We are learning what it means to be totally out of control and live one day at a time.  Thank you for praying for us and with us.  We are so grateful to all our friends and family that have brought meals to our house, devoted countless hours to our boys, sent emails, cards, come to visit, and so much more.  Ya'll are helping the days go by and are keeping our spirits up.  We LOVE you.
