I love Mommy. And Mommy is the best. Mommy is a superhero. Mommy is the greatest Mommy of the world. Mommy loves me best.
I hope Daddy is a superhero. (Followed by much laughter).
I love pbskids.org.
Mommy likes to get on blogs.
I love Mommy sooooo much. She is greatest Mommy in the whole wide world.
Levi is a stinker. Levi is the greatest baby. I can even hold him. Levi is the best kiddo. He is the best hero in the world.
The baby is so best. She is my favorite friend. I hope Lila loves me. I'll be the best sister in the whole wide world. Lila is the best kiddo in the whole wide world.

New Blog Title
Sorry for only posting the little blinkie thing earlier, but as you can see, baby Kelsey #3 is definitely a GIRL!!! Her name is Lila Victoria Kelsey. I really should have changed the name of my blog sooner because this little one is definitely already a part of our lives! I guess today really hit home that she will be here before we know it and I should acknowledge her as a whole person in my blog title!
The baby is now head down which made it a lot easier for the technician to get a good look at her! She weighs approximately 1 pound and 5 ounces! Over twice the weight she was only 7 weeks ago at our last ultrasound! My blood pressure remains low and I only gained 1 pound in the past 3 weeks (I figured it would be more because of camp and all those good rolls!). That puts my total at -3. Like I said before, once I start putting on more weight, I will probably conveniently forget to post those details!
In other news, our white van is giving us problems again! The radiator was completely empty and gushing water everywhere. Thankfully, my brother Josh was able to come over today and fix the problem. Thanks Josh, SO MUCH! It's nice to have a brother that is handy and always willing to lend a hand!
I talked to Tina today and Bayley is continuing to gain weight! Go Bayley! It looks like she will be home way before her due date (barring any setbacks- keep praying!).
I had a message from Rachel and she got discharged from the hospital and is back at her mom's house. She wanted to know why I didn't tell her how bad the pain would be....well, because I didn't want to scare her! Please keep praying for her too!
Well, that's all for now...hope everyone's having a great week!

Updates on Camp, Ultrasounds, Heartburn, and Rachel
Well, ONCE AGAIN, I'm way overdue for an update! Thanks to Paul for posting the slideshow pictures from camp!
We had a GREAT week at ICYC!! I could have stayed a little longer! Addi stayed in a cabin every night with the 7 and 8 year olds!!! I barely saw her except when I went up to help her shower and get dressed! I'm so proud of her! She visited the nurse very little for some minor bumps and scrapes. She did have a tick on the back of her ear, which we got to before it had completely attached itself! For those of you wondering about Levi's picture visiting the nurse, and her looking up his nose with a flashlight- he found a piece of playdough in the craft area and shoved it right up his nose!!! Luckily it came out on it's on before nurse Amy had to spray it with saline to get it out!!! What a BOY!!!
Speaking of boys, we go for our 2nd ultrasound in the morning at 8:30! We're hoping to get a good look at this baby so we know for sure what he or she is!!! The pregnancy is going well and I'm sure I gained a TON of weight at camp (thanks to our marvelous cooks!). The only complaint I have is some pretty annoying heartburn! I'll update tomorrow on my 24 week visit! Can't believe we're that far along!!
My best friend Rachel went to Kentucky this weekend for a family wedding. 10 minutes into the wedding Rachel had to leave because she was hurting and nauseated. Her mom took her to the ER right after the ceremony was over and they found out she had gallstones and pancreatitis! She had her gallbladder removed today (they had to wait 72 hours because of her pancreas). Her mom called just a few minutes ago to let me know everything went okay. I'm ready for her to get home, even though it will be Saturday before she gets back to Alabama. Please pray that her recovery will be speedy so she can go to Hawaii next week as planned!
Well, I guess that's all for now! Everyone check back tomorrow for baby #3 gender update!!!

Getting Ready For Camp!
That time of year is here again!!! CAMP!!! This is my absolute favorite week of the entire year!! I would rather skip Christmas than skip camp! I know that's a little drastic, but it's the truth! I went to camp for the first time when I was around 8 months old! I have only missed one summer since then! There's nothing better than getting away from the world (tv, internet, cell phones, etc.) to spend an entire week with other Christians who are teaching the gospel to young people. It's awesome! This will probably be my last post before we leave!! I have TONS of packing to do. It takes a lot to pack up 4 people! And next year will be worse!!!
If anyone wants to send Addi (or Levi, even though he won't know the difference) some mail to camp, the address is ICYC

Blogs I Read
Just a note: I deleted some dead blogs off my list and added some that I've been reading for a while as well as Tina's new blog.
Just a couple of things...
I know that noone will believe I'm posting two days in a row!!
Tina has started a blog to keep everyone updated on Bayley's progress and journey (and she might say something about Sydney now and then too!) :-). The address is www.sydneynbayleysproudmommy.blogspot.com. Be sure to check it out and leave her comments!!
Secondly, I have an Addi story from last night. Well, first let me give a little background. Mom and Dad have a beautiful, HUGE, yet sweet, dog named Bandit. But Bandit likes to dig. As a matter of fact, he has dug a hole about (this is just an estimate) 3 or 4 feet into the ground up under their sidewalk going to the pool. SO, on the way home from church last night Addi says, "Mommy, where is hell?" I casually tried to pass it off and told her I wasn't sure. To which she said, "Well, isn't it in the ground?" To which I said, "Probably." To which she said, "Well, what will happen if Bandit digs all the way to hell?" It's so hard not to hurt her feelings because I wanted to just die laughing and she was being very serious!! I reassured her that Bandit could dig forever and not get that far!

In Desperate Need of an Update!!
If anyone is even still checking my blog, I'm finally back for an updated post!!! A LOT has happened since my last post, so much that I don't even know where to start!!! I'll try to keep it brief!- Baby Maddox, now known as Bayley Lauren Maddox was born on Sunday, June 3rd, weighing in at 2 pounds and 14 ounces. She has done very well and we're continuing to pray that she will pack on some weight so she can join mom, dad, and Sydney at home in good ol' Pleasant Grove, Alabama! Congrats Brian and Tina!
- We had VBS last week and it was a blast!!
- Our air conditioner went out and we spent last Thursday and Friday night at my Mom and Dad's house. (Thanks!) It is working again now, thankfully, especially since temps here have been toward the upper 90's!
- I went to the dr. last Tuesday for my regular appointment. I was 21 weeks then. I had gained another 3 pounds, putting me at -4 pounds now. Baby is doing fine and kicking like a soccer star. Addi and Paul are both enjoying feeling "her" hefty kicks! We go back on June 26th (if that's a Tuesday) for another ultrasound to see if she is really a she!
- Addi has started a new hobby- playing computer games! She is getting quite good at the mouse and obviously gets that from the Kelsey side of the family.
- Levi moved up to the 2's, 3's and 4's class at church. He did better Sunday than he did at VBS, hopefully he's getting used to it.
- We have been enjoying mom and dad's pool and Levi is quite the tadpole. He puts his little life jacket on and goes his own merry way. Unfortunately, Addi is STILL hanging onto our necks so it's a good thing Levi likes the water!!!
