Hello Air Force

Travis and I decided to do his schooling throught the Air Force and he got sworn in today! He was sworn in as a 2nd Lieutenant and will be a Captain once he is out of Med School. So he is already ranked above people that enlist normally and they already have to salute him! :) The Air Force will be paying for his tuition and fees, plus giving us a monthly stipend to live on. We are doing a 3 year scholarship so all that is required of us once he is out of Med School is for him to work as a doctor on an Air Force base for 3 years but he will be getting paid for it. I think it will be a really fun adventure for us to be able to do this and meet all sorts of people. It will be fun to see what base we end up on for 3 years!

TWO snow days!!

I moved to Texas to get away from snow....but it seemed to follow me! Only difference is if it sticks at all here EVERYTHING shuts down!! Trav's school was cancelled yesterday and today...he might be a little stressed cause he has a test on Monday and has to learn everything on his own now...but I think it's been great that he's been forced to stay home with me for a couple days!! We've slept in, cooked dinner together, played games, AND he helped me clean! It feels like I'm actually married for once! :) It's just hard to believe that it was 80 degrees on Saturday and now we have this....but luckily it's supposed to be back in the 60's this weekend. Talk about bipolar weather!!

View outside our bedroom window on snow day #1

View outside our bedroom window looking the other way. That hill is our only way out and it is solid ice...so we are trapped at home for a few days until it melts. It has been pretty entertaining to watch car after car try to make it up the hill and get stuck like these ones or slide all the way back down.
Snow day #2 and more cars stuck. You would think if you saw other cars stuck you wouldn't even try! Maybe since the ice is still here Trav's school will get cancelled again tomorrow and he'll be forced to spend another day with me.... :)

Slowly getting there.....

To stay on my moms good side I had to put another prego picture up! 34 1/2 weeks down 5 1/2 more to go!! Please notice my favorite part of the whole picture is that I am wearing capri's in January because it was almost 80 degrees today!!!
My doctor had me get another sonogram this week. I have measured a week behind for a couple months but it stayed consistent so he didn't worry. But then I didn't grow any from my appointment on January 3 to my appointment on January 21 so that put me 3 weeks behind so he wanted me to get the sonogram done to make sure the baby is still growing properly. I got the sonogram done this past Wednesday (34 weeks along) and my stomach measured at about 31 1/2 weeks but the baby measured at 36 weeks!!!! The sonographer told me that I'm an oxy moron and that my stomach is pretty much 4 1/2 weeks to small for my baby...that explains why I can feel every little thing I guess!! He said my doctor might be moving my due date up because of the size of the baby. She is already around 6 lbs according to the sonographer!! I meet with my doctor on Monday and he'll give me the rest of the results...keeping my fingers crossed that I might get lucky and have her early!!

8 1/2 Weeks To Go!!!!!

I've made it to 31 weeks and I'm starting to see my doctor every two weeks now!!! I woke up yesterday morning and it really hit me that I'm going to have a baby here soon! So...I decided it's time to start buying things for her to come home to. Because I'm so excited about the things I have been getting I figured I would give you all a preview of what I have for her so far....

This is the crib I got....I happened to find it when it was on sale so I got it for less than the other crib I was looking at and I like this one tons more!

I really didn't want to do her room in all pink if I had to be going in there every day so I was looking for more purple colors to do it in...this is the nursery set I finally decided on!

And last but not least, this is the stroller and car seat I got. The picture doesn't do it justice...the green and blue are very bright in person and it is very cute!

That's all I have for now! The crib and bedding will both be here next week so maybe once I get it all put together I will take some real pictures! Now all I need to find is a dresser to put all the clothes in!! That will be it for the big stuff.

Needless to say I am getting more and more anxious every day!! We still have lots to do and lots to buy before she gets here though!
