SUPT IS OVER!!!!

YAY!! After 13 long months Steve graduated SUPT on Friday! I could not be more proud of him and all that he has made it though this past year. We got to spend a lovely weekend hanging out with family and friends celebrating all that the Class of 11-09 has accomplished.

Steve getting his wings!

(AND YES! There is a TINY BABY BUMP!)

Although, UPT is over for us there is no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Steve leaves for SERE (survival training/water survival) on SUNDAY. Yes, I said Sunday as in THREE DAYS FROM NOW. He will be gone until the 25th of June but will only be back home for 48 hours because he leaves again on the 27th for C-21 Training. He will not return until Aug 7th and We will be hitting the road Aug 10th. Which means Katie will be left alone here in Columbus to do all the prep work, packing, and such to get us ready to leave for COLORADO!!! SO if ANY of you are bored this summer you are welcome to come spend time with me and baby b!!!

Baby B Update!

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Baby B has been enjoying making me SUPER ill, but things are getting better! Our little soybean is 10 weeks old now doing well. We had our first official O.B. Appointment on Thursday. Baby's heartbeat was really good 176 BPM! Which apparently here means your having girl, but up north it means your having a Boy so I guess we still don't know what soybean is. LOL We will find out in July! And yes, we are finding out because God knows I could not possibly wait till December. LOL So here they are Baby B's latest photo shot. If you look really closely at the bottom picture you can see baby's lil feet and lil nub arms. So Exciting!!!

Wanna make God Laugh?

Tell him your plans!

So, for those of you who have kept up with Steve and my plans the last year you know that we had our hopes on getting assigned to the RC-135 in Ouffit AFB Nebraska. We knew that the RC is not a popular plane so we felt that our chances were pretty high. Like always though God had other plans. Friday night at the assignment night both of us had the BIGGEST shock of our lives thus far. When Steve stepped up for his roasting I was convinced that I would see pretty much one of two outcomes. Either the RC (which to be honest I was not excited about moving to NE) or FAIPing here at Columbus (which he was not so excited about). However, my jaw hit the ground when the slide with the words C-21 to Peterson AFB CO popped up. WHAT!!!! I was so shocked I could not even think the rest of the night. In fact until it was over I was convinced that they had screwed up Steve with someone else. Here's why... C-21 to Peterson is a DREAM assignment. It usually only goes to people who have it in the number one and two position on their dream sheet. It was number 19 on ours. Not because he didn't like the plane but it just wasn't something he ever expressed interest in. Yet, here we are. By the end of this year we will be living in Colorado Springs and I have to admit I am super STOKED!

I lived in Aurora CO for 4 years as a child and from what I can remember it was awesome. I know my parents absolutely LOVED it and they are super excited about coming to visit. It took Steve a little longer to warm up to the idea but now he is just as excited as I am. OR at least that's what he tells me. So I don't know what God has in store for us in CO but I cannot wait to find out.

Baby B's Impromptu Photo Shoot!

So for those of you who don't know I have been away this week on a road trip with my friend Rachel. We spent some time with both of our families and I personally had a blast! However, the trip came to a screech halt this morning when I woke up. I will spare you all the details but it was enough to scare the bejeezes of out me. I called the OB and of course they wanted me to come in just to have everything checked out. So Rachel and I jumped in the car ( Seriously, I am still in my PJ's) and took off like two Bats out of Montgomery! Sitting in the waiting room with Steve (Still in my PJ's) was the longest 20 mins of my life. All I could think was something was wrong and they are taking their SWEET time to get to me! I was in a panic but finally she called my name. So we went back to the ultrasound room and.......

According to the Ultrasound Tech everything looked "Fantastic!!!" The Baby was prefect length for 8wks and we got to hear the heartbeat (158)! Which was the most AWESOME sound in the WHOLE world. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from crying. Steve on the other hand was holding tight to the chair to stop himself from passing out! But I am proud of him because he had a smile on his face the whole time. :-) So even though we don't know what caused the spotting this morning we do know that right now everything SEEMS just FINE! Which is load off my back. I won't feel 100% better until until I see my OB next week and he tells us everything is fine, but I feel good enough now that I am calm. So that's always a good thing! :-)! So I am about to go LAY DOWN and tomorrow I plan on spending the WHOLE day on my butt! :-)
