Long time and feeling better!

It feels like a long time since I have blogged! When I found out that I was pregnant it took a while to swallow the fact that I will be having 4 children and 2 of them under the age of 2! I also had awful sickness and didn't even want to be on the computer. I am now feeling much better. I have more energy and have my appetite back!! That is good since I really like food. I had the hardest time going to the grocery store, because I felt like I could get sick just looking at food. We defiantly ate out allot.... not good for trying to be wise with money! I had laid my coupon clipping to the side and am now ready to get back into it. I almost feel like I am starting over.

Game on....or maybe not!

Albert and I just joined our coed softball league at church! Very exciting.. huh! We where getting everything finished up with signing up and ordering our shirts on Monday when Monday night .... I find out I am pregnant! I am slowly digesting it! I think I cried for about an hour! You see this one will be my fourth and my youngest child is only 10 months old and I didn't have any plans of having another one for a while or even at all! But, I guess God has a different plan for us. So for now I will be a cheerleader on the sidelines (with the other pregnant wives.. lol) cheering for my husband and our church! Now that the complete shock has wore off I am excited. I know that children are a gift from God! Maybe God thought that Gaven would need someone his age to play with. I don't know! God is in control
