Ultrasound tonight!
Major made me miss my prenatal yoga class this morning. He decided to run around the neighborhood like the crazy & wild animal he is. I decided not to chase him, he thinks it's a game when I do...so I waited, made a cup of coffee, and sure enough, 15 minutes later, there he was, parked on the front porch out of breath. I can't totally blame him, Owen got out first which encouraged Major's escape... oh these dogs! I just hope our child isn't this rambunctious!
For now I'm going to spend the rest of the day finishing Bailey's surprise gift, trying being productive, and then out in the sun! It's going to be clear and in the 70's today. We have to take advantage of these days out here in VA....doesn't happen very often. Love to all.

Life lately in VA
The weather here has been awesome, although today is overcast and thunderstorms, it was SO nice to see the sunshine this past weekend. Clayton and I took the Harley to First Landing in VA beach on Saturday. He ran the trails and I got some much needed sun on the beach.
It was great... although I don't think we'll be taking anymore Harley rides on these horribly paved highways again anytime soon. Someone should be put in jail for how bumpy and dangerous they are! Clayton says the ride was fine...guess he enjoyed it a little more than me. :-)
The dog's are doing good, Major is somewhat calming down. The more exercise he gets the better he is, so we try to take the boys to "their park", an old baseball field by our neighborhood where they can run free. They love it.
Major has also moved up from sleeping in the kennel to sleeping on the floor in our bedroom at night. (Let's keep our fingers crossed) Owen hasn't changed much, still a little old grumpy man towards major's young, full-of-life personality, but they are getting along for the most part.
We have also stared going to a church in Virginia Beach, not far from our house, called New Life Providence Church. It has been the first church in Virginia where we feel it is right for us. I am so glad the Lord brought us there and we have a place to call home. Praise!
I'm only able to wear one last pair of pants without the belly band...tummy is growin! We go back to the doctor today at 2:30. We are very excited!! .
I am so excited about my niece's arrival in April. I can hardly wait! I will be coming home sometime in April for the birth, some much needed time with the family, and hopefully some true Texas BBQ! That sounds great right about now! Clayton will also be coming in town for the weekend after Bailey is born.

Baby on the way! Feb 2-5
As many of you know, Clayton and I are expecting our first baby! We wanted to be able to share this chapter of our life with all of the people we love. Since we are so far away from the family and most of our friends, we have created a blog to keep in touch with all of you, and to keep you updated along the way. Enjoy!
February 2nd I woke up and decided it was time to take a pregnancy test. I wasn't worried or really expecting anything either way, just took the test. Clayton left the previous morning for training, so I was by myself.
So... I did my thing... and waited a good 10-15 seconds. I wasn't expecting a result that fast.. Wow! I fell to my knees, wept, and thanked the Lord for what I had seen. A positive result!
I paced around the house for the next couple of hours until I had to "go" again. Surprised and shocked all over again, the next test was also positive. Wow.
The previous week had been probably one of the hardest weeks I have had in a long time! I was emotional, lonely, a blizzard had blown in from who knows where, we were stuck in the house for 3 days straight, I was just feeling really down about everything! So this surprise was a bright start to the week ahead and I was thankful for that!
I called the Navy Medical Clinic to make an appointment, and was scheduled for Thursday. It was very hard for me to keep this a secret...especially from Clayton. I wanted to tell him SO badly, just not over the phone, it didn't seem right. So I waited. But in the mean time I ordered a longhorn onesie from the University of Texas Co-op, hoping this would be an appropriate way to break the news to Clayton, UT's #1 fan.
Went to the doctor on Thursday and once again, the results were positive. The nurse called me back in after a long 45 minutes of waiting and said.."congratulations, your going to be a mother!" That was weird to hear, but good, really good! I received a ton of new baby/mother literature and prenatal vitamins.
Friday finally rolled around, and of course, I had to work until 9:30pm at the school. Clayton got home from his trip around 4 pm. I was so anxious about telling him! When I finally made it home around 10pm, I found him in the kitchen making a snack. I handed him the Co-op bag with the results from the doctor.
He was very excited and had a big smile on his face. I cried a little and we hugged and kissed and laughed together. Such a relief to be able to tell him!
So that's our little story of how we found out that we are going to be parents! We are so excited and cannot wait to meet the little one God is bringing into this world. So exciting!! Thanks for reading, we will keep ya'll updated in the near future! Love to everyone!

1st Doctor visit! Feb 22
On February 22, Clayton and I went to the doctor for my first appointment at the Virginia Center for Women in Chesapeake.
Doc said everything looked good. They took blood, urine, and did a regular OB check up. They told me I was right at 9 weeks pregnant.
Then we went into another exam room and got our first ultrasound. This was so much fun and I will never forget it. We got to see our little peanut and the nurse explained everything we were seeing on the screen. She zoomed in and we could see a little flicker right in the middle of the peanut... the babies heart! So exciting to see! We also heard the heart beat and nurse said it was about 173 beats per minute. Clayton was truly in amazment and the look on his face made me laugh out loud uncontrolably. The nurse couldn't even hold the picture on the screen because of my laughter. It was pretty funny!
We go back to the doc on march 22nd, I will be 13 weeks. We can't wait to see how much baby has changed!
