Here is his story:
September 18, 2015.
I was dieting. The kind of dieting where you are super motivated and the feeling of hunger only confirms that you are cutting back. Well, I had been doing this for about 2 weeks. Usually, when I diet, I lose weight really quick especially the first few weeks. Well, we were getting ready to go to a graduation party and all of my pants felt so tight. I knew I should be a little bit bloated because it was time for my period. I sat in my room and just felt like crying. I was in one of those moods, too. One of those that you feel like hiding under a blanket and going to sleep. So, I pulled myself together and put on a pair of comfy black pants and complained to Phillip the whole way there that something had to be wrong with me! I was sitting in Carey Hilliard's and it hit me that I was 8 days late. I was very bloated. I was very moody. Oh dear Lord. Am I pregnant? My thoughts quickly left as my 11 month old screamed at Brodie demanding his cup.

Saturday, Sept. 19th.
Me and the kids were at Walmart picking up a prescription for Brodie and we were about to meet my mom for lunch. I was at the check out line at the pharmacy and as I turned around the pregnancy test was glaring at me. I told Cheyanne, "I'm 9 days late, I'm going to get one just to make sure." I couldn't be pregnant. Paisley was 11 months old. It took me 2 years to get pregnant with her. I was done having children. Two was perfect. I check out and tell Cheyanne to watch the kids while I go to restroom. Miss priss says "take your test since you're going!" So, I listen to the 15 year old and take it with me. I take and there it is, 2 lines. I don't remember much next. I somehow made it to my car and loaded the kids. Well, Cheyanne probably loaded them because she knew I was shocked. I called Phillip...he was shocked too.
This was WAY different than finding out with the first 2. I was anxious and desiring with my whole heart with Brodie and Paisley. This pregnancy was unexpected and not planned...not desired. I felt happy, then sad, and then scared all at once. Poor Paisley...she didn't have her time as the baby. Poor Brodie...two babies in the house. Poor me.....I wanted to lose Paisley's baby weight first and I wanted to get in shape and I wanted to have two babies! Then, I felt this wave of guilt hit me. How dare me??? This is so unfair to this baby. He/She deserves the same excitement as the other two. So, I had my 10 minute melt down and then I became excited. I called Amanda first....she was shocked and happy. She is so much like me. Silence and laughter filled my ears. Then I called Dustin and told him. His words were my strength and I'll never forget them. He said automatically "You are building the best life for your children." I thought to myself "Yes, I am!" My brothers and sister are my best friends, the only people in this world that fully understand me, and my life shared with them has been the best. I'm giving my children siblings to do life with...what a gift. I told Brodie and he laughed. He said "No you dont mama."
We met mama at Chili's. We had our usual greeting and she talked to the kids. Brodie said "Gamma, Gamma! Mama has another baby in her tummy!!" Mama looked at me and I handed her the pregnancy test. She sat it down and said "What? Are you serious?" She was shocked and then busted out laughing. It was such a funny moment. I think she could tell I was just as shocked. I called David and Megan and my daddy and told them next. Everyone was so excited to grow our family.
I didn't a chance to see Mrs. Tina because she worked late and Sunday we went to church and got home later and she wasn't home. So, I finally see her on Monday. She was cooking dinner and I said with tears in my eyes "I have to tell you something." She said, "I already know, your pregnant." I said "How do you know???" She said "I could tell when you were upset Friday night at Carey Hilliards." I thought that was so funny. Pa teared up, of course, and they were both happy about another grandbaby.
I told a few close friends and family members. I went to my first appointment on October 9th. I was only 7 weeks and the baby looked healthy. Heartbeat was 157.
Amanda took photos of Brodie and Paisley for their birthdays so we did a few announcements. We announced baby #3 with this photo.
Isn't it perfect? I was in love. Everyone got a good laugh out of Paisley's expression.
December 5th at 10am we sat in the waiting room at Cherished 4D waiting to find out. I wanted it to be a boy with everything in me and so did Phillip. We had a hard time at first because of Paisley being so young. We felt like we were stealing her time as the baby. Having another girl would be taking something else from her too. But, I know I would of been happy either way. I just hoped for a boy. Plus, Brodie B. was begging God too. He wanted a brother!
We go in and in no time there it was...."Its a boy!"
Phillip and I were so excited. He squeezed my hand and tears filled our eyes.
My brother and sister in law had just found out that they were having a boy too! Phillip and I got in the truck and I said "Can we really wait 20 days to tell everyone?" He said "No, lets tell them!" I completely went against my idea. Yes, everyone was right. But, I decided I would still tell me mom and my in laws in a special way. My mom...the "knower" called me and said "God told me what you were having this morning." Me: "Of course He did. What did he say?" She said "He told me that this is the season of boys for our family." My mama. I can't even surprise her! But, I didn't say a word. Instead, Phillip and I headed to the mall and had these ornaments made.
We wrapped them and put them in cute little boxes and gave them to our parents.
Aren't they so cute??
River Kye.
When I was pregnant with Paisley, Phillip told me that he wanted to name him River if it was a boy. LUCKILY, she was a girl and I got my way. I wasn't crazy about the name.
When I found out I was pregnant this time, Phillip said "Okay now its my turn to name this baby." I loved that he cared so much so I said "Okay, you choose." I knew the boy name would be River and it had grown on me.
Phillip went hunting one day with a buddy and he brought his little boy. The little boy had the best attitude and Phillip said he was so cute. His name was River. That's when he fell in love with the name.
So, Phillip got his way and we have a little River on the way. Kye is the name of a famous racer that Phillip follows.
After we announced the name, a lady from my church sent me this. I loved it.

ON April 13th we had our full anatomy scan done and got to see his sweet face.
On April 30, my mom and sister had me another shower at my moms house. She was moving in at the same time and I'll never forget my uncle painting as my mom was cooking in the kitchen getting everything done for the shower.
It was outside in her back yard and it was so cute. (more pics to come)
On May 15th, I began having contractions off and on throughout the day. I was scheduled to be induced May 20th and my due date was May 24th. When we got in bed, I told Phillip that I would let him know if contractions would come. He didn't think I was serious. At 3 am on May 16th, I started having light consistent contractions. I woke him up and said "I think I'm having contractions." Well, I always thought I was having them so he rolled back over and went to sleep. My doctor had told me about an app to use so I began tracking them. After a few minutes, the app said "go to the hospital." I woke Phillip up again and said "the app says its go time." He jumped right up and start getting ready. The contractions were light so I thought it was a false alarm. We called our doctor and he said to go to the hospital since I had a history of going in to labor a few weeks early.
So, we left at about 3:15 am and headed to Candler. We left Cheyanne, Brodie and Paisley with Phillips parents.
We get to the hospital and they checked me in to triage to see if I was in labor or not. The nurse said "well looking at you, you are probably dilated to a 2-3 and experiencing some pressure. Most likely, we will send you home to labor and check in with your doctor tomorrow." I asked her to check me anyways. She did and with shaky hands she let us know "Oh my god, you're at 6."
Phillip called the crew (my mom, my sister, his mom) & sent out a text to let them know River was coming quicker than we thought.
Everything after was a blur. They had a hard time checking me in to the system to start the process. The computer kept freezing and restarting. SO, the nurse asked another nurse to check me and see where I was....a 9. They started frantically setting everything up. Luckily, the anastesiologist was on the floor so they got me in the system and he gave me an epidural. He informed that it was probably kick in right after I had him which would help at the end. And he was right, I never felt it until after River was born.
As soon as he walked out, the on call delivery doctor walked in. She was loud and energetic and she was wearing bright colors. I said "wheres my doctor?" Dr. Jackson had delivered my other 2 and he was all I know. She said "at home asleep." They didn't have to time to call him. After 2 pushes, River Kye was here born at 5:25 am....about 2 hours after we left our house.
My mom and Mrs. Tina made it just in time to watch him be born. My sister didn't even get the text. She's normally right beside me too. I felt like I had a big secret and couldn't wait for everyone to wake up. Normally, our whole family would be there waiting. River Kye had other plans.
