Update

It's been awhile! 

Let's see what has changed...

Logan went to Ranger school and came back....and returns soon! 

Ben is now 14lbs 5 oz 27inches...yes 27... long! 

We have had many great visitors! Some first time to GA!  

I rode a roller coaster for the first time since ... I don't even remember when? Holy moly did I feel old! 

I am starting an exercise group called Stroller Strong Moms and am constantly fighting my asthma, pregnancy is a rough one to bounce back from! 

Mostly I have learned a lot about motherhood. How most days you feel like you need a redo button but other days you feel like a rockstar! One thing I have learned is to hold my mom friends close, especially with Logan gone so much. A glass of wine and a few laughs can go a long way after a hard day! 

I've also decided to start a few sewing projects so be on a lookout for pictures of those! 

Fussy

When your baby is fussy and…

You finally get them back to sleep and the dog decides to chase their rawhide bone across the wood floor like its a ball…at 4 A.M.

You get done feeding them, they are finally drifting to sleep and POOP

Sometimes driving to Starbucks is the only solution to everyone's problems.

You start thinking a shirt with one spit up spot is "clean"

Your house is clean when the dishes are done, never mind that dust bunny in the corner…

Sleeping in late is 9:00 A.M.

You would do anything to get your child to stop crying including making noises that sound very much like a wild bird.

But then….he smiles and the world is perfect again.

2 Months 2 Fast

Wow! Has it already been two months?! Feels like yesterday I found out I was pregnant and I still cannot believe I have a son sometimes. Crazy. I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything. This weekend I was busy busy busy taking pictures and running errands so Logan spent a lot of time with Benjamin. Most of which was "male bonding" over the xbox but hey it still counts right? He is such a good daddy and I have fallen more and more in love with him after watching him with Benjamin.

Back to the xbox…so I wanted to get Logan a game to surprise him, well they didn't have the game for his 360 but did for the new xbox one... so I came home with a xbox one. Which to say it lightly Logan LOVED. Well this xbox one world is new to me, and the whole idea of talking to the xbox sort of still freaks me out. Although I like to talk to Logan like he talks to his xbox, for example "LOGAN OFF" or "LOGAN GO HOME" for those of you who actually have one and know what I mean…Logan is not as amused. Dinner plans have also been made through xbox live with our friends the Bigelow's …again whole new world.

Other than that I have started a mom "bootcamp" shout out to Jessica Farmer for leading it! I am beyond excited for the results and have become more motivated to eat healthier for not only me but my family. Also if I come out at the end of a month with a 6 pack that wouldn't hurt either.

Love to all…until next time

Love My Family

    Have I mentioned I love my family? Some moments more than others I stop and realize how blessed I am. A moment lately that reminds me daily of how blessed I am is when Ben smiles. I. Love. It. Sometimes its a random, I just look down and he's cheesing, and sometimes I have to do something ridiculous to make him smile. It also makes for great opportunities to practice my photography skills.
    Many of you know I used to be a teacher and do have a degree in Elementary Education. When I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom as long as I possibly could. Soon after I was bored out of my mind. Going from constantly working to nothing at all. Good golly…and I thought I spent too much time Pinterest-ing before, whew! SO I decided to use my talents a little more wisely and pick up my camera again.
   With that being said I am trying to build my "portfolio" because although I do have an adorable baby, dog and husband…I do want to take pictures of others and eventually start a business. Scary thought! For now I am accepting anyone who wants their family/children photographed (For free!) My goal is to do primarily lifestyle so I will come to you or find a pretty location:) My dear friend Caitlynn Bryan and her Hubby Nick (Who photographed my wedding, while she was a bridesmaid) will probably get 10000x phone calls so here's a lot of kudos in advance for your patience. LOVE YOU!
   On another note I get to visit Indiana in a few short weeks!! It will be just B and I because Logan will be training, blah. BUT I will be staying for a week. If you want to see us just holler and we will see what we can do. I am beyond excited to spend Easter with my momma and I am sure she will be in full Grandma mode, spoiling my child, but that's just fine with me. Also excited to see my other half/bestie Randa, she knows me better than most people and I miss her tons.
    I hate I miss some key moments with  family, that means you Murry's wish I was  there for you today. Love you all!
   Here is one more picture I took lately…this is what our Sunday's look like now a days

Love to all…until next time

    When you have a baby suddenly going out into public becomes an event like none I've ever experienced. Not only does it take about 20 extra minutes to get out the door, but when you get out into that big world (where people smell clean and look put together) then you have the random people who want to comment about your baby…so here's a few comments I've heard: 

Awwwwe is that a baby?! (while looking at the car seat, I mean what else is it going to be??) 

LOOK AT THE BABY OMG LOOK HOW CUTE!!! (lady if you wake him up with your baby talk I'm going to make you ride in the car for 20 minutes until he falls asleep again)

How old is he?! (um hold on let me do the math, what day is it again? ) 

Is it a boy or a girl? (does he have pink on? no) 

Then there is the sweet comments like: "Awe such a handsome man" or "Look at that sweet face" all in  a calm voice, you know they have kids! 

In all fairness most everyone are super sweet but I definitely have learned what not to do around new babies, things I was totally oblivious to before. I do have to admit I have gotten better about the "what ifs" like what if he poops? what if he wakes up? what if he cries? …really he's a baby and if people stare they stare! My favorite is when they stare while I am wearing the moby wrap. Some day I am going to go into full out dance mode, pop, lock and drop it style, and really give them something to look at! 

I also find myself buying things "for Ben" for example the movie Frozen and possibly the soundtrack too…

I have been doing some redecorating as well. I love decorating and have found a way to "recycle" things around the house using spray paint to give it a new look or rearranging picture frames. Some day I will be the next Ty Pennington! 

Logan has been doing training lately making for late nights. I am so grateful for the new friends I have made here. Lunch and dinner dates with my sweet friends definitely make those long day and nights go by faster. It is finally starting to feel like home here in Georgia.

Love to all…until next time

      I have tried to blog before …and failed. So when I proclaimed to Logan "HEY! I'm gonna start a blog!" His response was "Um isn't that what Facebook is for?" Here was my thoughts: I wanted a space to share our family's adventures that was not Facebook or Instagram (I refuse to Twitter, if you have sent a request to "follow" my profile, that's still out there somewhere in cyberspace, sorry... No can do!) I wanted to share more than a line or two in a status or random picture that may or may not end up in your newsfeed. If you are fine with a status or random picture that's cool too, this is just for the hardcore Adams' family followers (that means you Mom!). 

     Just about one year ago I made the move to Georgia to join Logan. Best and hardest decision of my life. I left my career I had worked incredibly hard for and lost some friends a long the way. Although some will never understand, for me and my family it only made sense. My oh my how life has changed! I would not trade a day I have spent with my new and precious family. 

     Yesterday Benjamin was officially 6 weeks old! Is this for real?! I cannot even look at pictures from when he was born without crying. He was so little! Recently he has started balding and looking more and more like a little old man, I love it. He is also VERY smiley in the mornings making getting up easier for this Momma (mornings are not my thang). You may be wondering "How's it going being parents?" well so far I can tell you we have eaten more PB sandwiches than I care to admit (easy to make and mastered making them with one hand) and for myself: coffee, lots of coffee. I missed my caffeine. We both love being parents though and the stereotype of "Your (social) life ends when you have kids" was so not true for us. Yes, we had almost 20 people at our house yesterday…BOOM. Really though, Ben just adds awesome-ness to our lives. 

So to sum this first blog up: Life is good! Here's to blogging! (Please don't judge my grammar). Love to all…until next time.
