Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 2008 is a year that we will never forget... our engagement, planning a wedding, Derek's transition to Continental, Derek's call from SWA, Derek's furlough from CAL, first months of marriage, changes with Zane, pregnancy, etc. It's been a whirlwind in the Adams household to say the least. Of course, we wouldn't have changed a thing. God works in ways that we do not always understand at the time. The Lord has truly blessed us in so many different ways through situations we never thought possible to see any sort of bright side from. His timing is always perfect.

We had a wonderful Christmas, and Zane enjoyed every minute of it :) Of course, I think our Dads (both Zane's Dad and my Dad) are enjoying Zane's Wii just as much (if not more) as Zane is. Miss Addyson doesn't know it yet, but she also had a wonderful Christmas. Her Grammy and Pa-Paw showered her with presents on Christmas.

We also enjoyed the Zoo and Monster Jam last weekend. Surprisingly, I probably got the biggest kick out of Monster Jam. I was one of those fans’ that was loud and jumping up and down through out the races. I actually jumped too quickly out of my chair, and we think I pulled a muscle in my stomach, LOL! Good Times!

Not trying to turn the mood upside down, but we did get some news that wasn't the most uplifting part of our holidays. Miss Addyson appears to have small cysts on one of her kidneys. Supposedly this condition is hereditary. The impact of the cysts really won't be known until she makes her appearance. We spoke to our pediatrician who couldn't give us much insight until she is born. My doctor is also making an appointment for us to see a specialist that will hopefully be able to help us better understand everything. We have another u/s scheduled on January 26th to have a better look at her spine and heart, since the last u/s she was not in the right position and had no want to move for the technician. Please keep her in your prayers, and I'll update everyone as we get more information.

Zane's Bike Ride without training wheels

It's a girl! (19 weeks pics)

I know, I know.. it's been a while since I've posted anything new.  As a lot of you already know, we are having a little girl.  We are excited.  I have to go back for another u/s so they can get a better look at her spine and heart.  I'll keep everyone posted.  

Also, I posted a picture of our tree.  It's specialized with the "star" that Zane made at Awana's and our ornament that Kathryn and Chip got us from Houmas House (where we got married). 

13 Weeks and Counting...

I know that I haven't been very good about keeping this updated.  Here are the pictures of the little bean's progress in my tummy.  I'm not sure how well you can tell from the pictures, but my tummy is growing.  We have an appointment and it's another u/s, so we are excited to see the little one again.  I will keep everyone posted!

Our Doctor's Appointment and T-Ball

I just wanted to share a picture of our little bean from the ultra sound on Friday.  It's really blurry b/c I had to take a picture of the print out from the doctor.  We were so amazed at how much the baby looks like a baby, lol.  I know that may sound strange, but when I saw Zane for the first time he really just looked like a bean.  This picture you can see the little head and body!  Such a blessing!

Okay, so it took a lot of nerve.. But I'm going to take weekly pictures of my ever growing baby bump.  This is something that I wouldn't do when I was pregnant with Zane, and I really regret it.  So, for this pregnancy I'm going to show off our baby growing, instead of trying to cover up my growing tummy.  I'm still shocked how much my belly has grown though.  They say that you start showing a lot earlier when you've already had a baby, but this is ridiculous.  Of course, I guess it could also be the lasting effects of Ike ;) 

I couldn't get away without posting a picture of Zane too!  These are from his T-Ball practice.  Such a cute little baseball player!

 

We're Pregnant!!!

Hard to deny 4 positive tests...

   Is it just me or does he look scared?!?

No Faint Line Here...

My 3 Boys during Ike...

     My New Hair "Do"

Yep... Zane is going to be a big brother in May.  We obviously didn't plan for this little bundle of joy, but we are really excited.  We have an u/s scheduled on Friday Oct. 3rd, and at the appointment we should get our "official" due date.  Besides this evening, I've been feeling pretty good the past couple of days.  Before tonight, Monday was the last day that I felt "woozy" and not too hot!  

Also, yesterday I got about 10 inches cut off of my hair!!!  It needed it in the worst way.  I'm so upset that I didn't even think of donating my hair... Derek mentioned it when I got home and I wanted to kick myself.  

Last but not least... We survived Ike just fine.  Our power came back on late yesterday afternoon :)

Awana Cubbie...

Zane got his vest today at Awana Cubbies Club. Woo-hoo! See little man in his new vest...
