Full Term

I've finally reached full term. Carter could arrive any time. I started seeing a group of midwives at St. Josephs hospital in Phoenix. They are amazing! The quality of care is so much better than I have ever received from an OB. The midwives care for mom both physically and emotionally. I am so glad I switched.

My birth plan is complete and my bags are packed. I plan to continue visiting with my doula until Carter is born. I'm starting to get anxious for his arrival but I've also had such a wonderful pregnancy that I am sad it's nearing the end.

Here are some beautiful picture Skye took. I weigh about 140 pounds and my belly is huge!

Swimming Lessons

Promotion

Dusty was meritoriously promoted to Staff Sergeant on July 2, 2009! He worked very hard to achieve this promotion and he certainly deserves it!

Baby Shower

It's still hard to believe I'm having a baby boy! On June 27, 2009, my friend Melissa hosted a baby shower in my honor. It was a great time filled with games, food, and gifts. I am so blessed to have such amazing friends and family.
