It's a...

BOY!!!

Yeppers, another boy.

We are excited and can't wait to meet this little guy!

He is going to LOVE his older brothers.

And, they are going to LOVE him.

And, he is going to be one tough little one.

And, I may be crazy for a few years. 

3 kiddos, I mean, 3 BOYS, 4 years old and under.

(insert crazy Momma face)

So, if you just happen to run into me, at Walmart with mismatched clothing or 2 different shoes and dirty hair, 

at church with an attempt of makeup but really looking like Fulton applied my makeup, 

sleeping in the soccer field parking lot incoherent because I'm lost and lack of sleep,

 or unable to finish my sentences, 

just excuse me for about 1-2 years.

(or longer if needed)

I will be a mother of 3 boys.

We will be in the trenches..

Just trying to survive.

:)

And, trying to keep them all alive.

As well as ourselves.

No, ha, I'm really kidding. 

Well, not really, but trying to make humor of the road that lies ahead.

Many many many broken bones.

Many fights.

Many holes in walls.

More wrestling.

More football in the house.

More basketball.

Endless grocery shopping.

Fighting again.

Soccer again.

Stitches.

ER visits.

More wrestling.

You moms of boys, I need help. I need advice.

I was one of 2 girls.

This is completely different.

(My mom will sometimes look at me and say, "You girls didn't do stuff like this.")

Ha.

I know I am truly blessed.

The Lord has chosen, yes, chosen (humbles me to my core) me to be a mother of 3 boys.

To hopefully carry on a legacy of Christ.

Hopefully be leaders of their families.

I'm not sure why.

What does He see for our family?

But, I praise Him.

I DEFINITELY cannot stay sane and do this alone.

I NEED HIM daily.

Help me be resourceful:

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” 

~Ps. 32:8

Help me listen:

“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.” 

~Matthew 13:16

Give me strength:

“He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak.” 

~Isa. 40:29

Help me be joyful:

 “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Protect them, so all who love your name may be filled with joy.” 

~Ps. 5:11

Help me be faithful:

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord’s work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 

~1 Cor. 15:58

Help me be sacrificial:

 “Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him.” 

~Eph. 5:2

Because there is only one:

“There is only one person like you in all of this great big world

And you are just to God made you to be whether a boy or a girl

Whether you are black or white or some beautiful color in between

No matter your shape or size you’re as perfect as anything I’ve ever seen

Your mom and your dad they are so glad you are a part of their family

There is only One who loves you more

He is your Father in Heaven

He is the Lord”

 We love you little one.

You are truly a gift.

I love you.

Your Mommy

ok, i am ready now...

So..... my many failed attempts to start this blog are quite funny to look back on. I gues, without further ado, I will begin this blog (again). Since beginning it in 2007, i think? (wow, that's embarrasing) Well, we moved to Gardendale from Tuscaloosa, and began my first job as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I loved it, enjoyed it. Became pregnant and Ridge was born June 1, 2009. He is a healthy thriving young 3 year old boy now! (I hate playing catch-up). July 27, 2011 our second healthy boy was born, Fulton, who is now almost 11 months old. Life is crazy at the Wiggins house. I do well if I've brused my teeth by lunch and we won't even talk about showers lately. (I've gotta come up with a better system.) Anyway, no holding back, I will be real here. A lot of my friends have blogs and I have always wondered, "How in the world do they have time to do it???" Well, if I'm already struggling with brushing teeth and showering, adding this to my list may quarentine me to my home forever and you will never see me out! Ha No really, enough about that. I'm one of those people that can't start working out on a Wednesday. I like to begin something new at the beginning of the week, and oooh, even better, at the beginning of the month! So, the idea of starting a blog stressed me out thinking about it because I thought, "I have so much to catch up on!!!" "Where do I begin?" "Day 1 with Ridge?" "I didn't document any of his month to month except in the old-school baby books and that is so sparse as it is, and, "oh no, now Fulton is almost 11 months, blah, blah..." I can't worry about playing catch up. It won't happen and IT IS OK!!! I will start at this point in our life and if my children ever ask, (which they probably won't), "Mom, what happened while we were little babies, why did you not really document that?" I'll say, well, mom doesn't really remember a lot of that anyway. We were too sleep deprived to remember! No, really, these documented memories are for us to enjoy one day when you're older and probably more for me than anyone else. So, here's to you boys, this is for you!!! I love you more than I can ever express here.. So, here we go. Take 5?!?! I don't even know, I lost count.....and I still don't know how to do this. This picture is supposed to be centered... ha!
