2011

This year looks like it will bring many new adventures and joy! January 8th 2011 we found out we were expecting our first little one that will be due around September 12th! We are so excited and are bouncing off the wall anxious to find out what we are having April 28th! We will also be married for 2 years this June and I will be turning 21 in May. I wonder where time has gone, but realize I'm in the exact place that I've looked forward to for so long. I am looking forward to being a mother more than anything and I know David is sure anxious to be a dad as well. After the Tsunami and earthquake hit though it brought on new trials and fears, but knowing that we were so lucky to be located on the safest base here is so great. I couldn't imagine leaving David here and him missing out on all the important things with our baby. That is why I am so glad that we are safe and are reassured that everyday. It is really hard to have family at home worry about us, because it worries me. I just have to reassure them that things are ok. I would love to be home and visit like some have chosen to do, but I would hate to be away from David and have him miss out on the first kicks, finding out the sex of the baby, and actually being there for the birth. Being in the military it is possible that this might be the only time he can be with me throughout a pregnancy and to give birth and it is extremely important that he is here for our first. It is hard though because he is working 12 hour shifts, because we don't see each other that much, but we make it the best we can. We cherish all the moments we have with each other and I see how important every second is. Our life this year is going to have the greatest new beginning to growing our family and we cant wait!!
