I had the car seat out recently and Max became a little curious. I scooped him up, placed him in it, and funnily enough he didn't budge!

In fact, he looks rather cozy here doesn't he? 

The joke at our house has been Max will have the hardest time adjusting. I think these flags are letting us know Max loves being the baby & isn't ready to give it up!

The Boys

I've been informed when baby girl gets here it will be Girls vs. Boys. How they seem to forget though I've been outnumbered for the past 2 1/2 years?

(I'm sure it'll change though once they get a look at how cute she is-I'm talking about the dogs here)

Aaron's EXW Pinning

Aaron with the Executive Officer

Medical Team

Last week was a great week for Aaron! He received the Expeditionary Warfare Pin for his command. It's a 2 part exam, written & oral. He only had about a week & a half to study (some guys had much more time). The exam covers various information specific to his command. Anywhere from administrative to guns to radios. The oral part took about 3 hours to complete. Very intensive stuff he's got to know, but I was fully confident he'd ace it!  His girls are very proud I must say!

CHEERS TO AARON!

32 Weeks

Ok, I think I want to stop growing now!

My 32 week appointment went well. Heartbeat is still in 140s, kicking, stretching, rolling around like a busy bee, and head down, eek! I asked the doctor how big she thinks she is, after feeling around on my tummy a bit her guess was about 3 1/2 pounds now! Our bug is getting big & strong!

 All kinds of emotions are sinking in now because everyday it feels more real. I can't believe we're going to be parents soon!

Our little Island Baby

Earlier this month, Mary& Norma hosted my second baby shower. They surprised me with the theme of "Island Baby" Cute, right? I'd been thinking I wanted pregnancy pictures taken,with a few at the beach, since she'll be our island baby. They nailed this one on the head! It was a fun shower and I felt the love a 1000x over again for this one!

Photo album generated with Smilebox I didn't have enough text space to tell you what the surprise was.  Mary had the guests write Motherly advice for me, which I knew. What I didn't know was she contacted my mother, grandmothers, and aunts so that they could be apart of the day and send words of advice as well. ( A flood of emotions hit that shocked me and so I hid my face because I started crying ) I loved it all and couldn't believe how special Norma & Mary made this day! Love to them both!
