Baseball and Babies!

 Playing baseball with the boys is never dull.  Eli and Cullen are both built for sports and we believe they will be successful in whatever they choose to play.  

For now it is T ball for Eli and Cullen... well he pretty much goes for whatever Eli likes ;-)

The evening was beautiful and the perfect setting for belly pics and baseball!

Cullen is pretty good at hitting the ball and has cute running form

Eli could work on his pitching, and well, I could work on keeping my facial expressions a little more flattering while focusing on hitting the ball.

E & C are competitive but playful.  Eli was a little rough on the above tag out though.

Love Cullen's facial expressions, I know he gets them from me!

Daddy's turn to catch while E pitched to C, then daddy and finally Daddy assisting Cullen.  Both Matt and C hit the ball.  

Ok, so I got a little distracted while they were playing and decided to take a few pics of myself.  1st, grey hair check and my suspicions were right, they were sprouting out everywhere! 2nd, belly shot, I may have only been 5 weeks pregnant but I knew there was already a belly forming.  3rd, "belly shot" again, I'll look back and think I was CRAZY for thinking this was a belly!  4th, God's beauty!  I love love LOVE his creation.  

Photo shoot ensues... randomness but fun!

Worn out and heading home!  Matt and I have two very handsome little boys

Ugh, adorable!

Pregnancy Story:

Matthew and I are having our THIRD baby!!!  Although we were trying we were still genuinely surprised when the pregnancy test read PREGNANT!  

Thursday morning= 1 day late, but I was certain that lateness was a fluke.  To put my mind at ease and move on to the next month I decided to take a test.  My mindset when I took the test Thursday April 19 at 6:35 a.m. was negative... the test would be negative, my mood would be negative and Matt and I would have to wait another month for a baby.
Wrong :D 

I wish I had waited for Matt to be around, but I didn't think that there would be a positive.  It wasn't worth it to me for him to see me sad.
Thank goodness God had already written a different story than the one I had made up in my head...

The timer took forever to stop flashing on the test, so to waist time I started getting ready for work.  Probably 5 minutes later I decided I'd glance at the test to affirm my negativeness.  

DOUBLE TAKE!  I shouted with joy and thankfulness and started crying with happiness (a rarity) because the test was not negative... it was most definitely positive!  We were pregnant!  God had blessed my womb with another baby and member of our family.  

Overjoyed sums up my entire being at that moment.  

I called Matt and couldn't contain myself, I rushed through telling that I woke up expected negative bla bla bla but it was positive... "We're having another baby; thank you God!"  

I wanted to announce it to everyone that we were pregnant and had matt start taking pics that evening.  We took the boys to the practice at the field at the high school.  Seemed like a good enough spot to start taking pics to me.  Matt was a team player.  I'm happy with them, but much more happy with the photo shoot I did a few weeks later with one very talented Mrs. Jennifer Wildey.  See her blog/ website for great photograpy.  She is going to document the pregnancy and we will make a book of them... I am looking forward to all the fun we will have.  

Goal #1 = stay in shape! 

Boy or Girl Boy or Girl... Who cares!
