Bye Bye Air Force .... Hello BABY!!!






This has been quite the busy week! I found out last Thursday that I had ten days to out-process for the Air Force and today was my last day! I'm officially out on July 19th! I'm very excited to start this new chapter and to be able to focus on my family and the new baby! Wednesday my office had a going-away lunch for me and gave me a great framed picture of an American Flag with Pikes Peak in the background (that is the big mountain that is in Colorado Springs). They all signed it giving congrats on the baby and wishing me luck. I just thought it was great that someday Braxton would be able to look at the picture and what people wrote and know what we have done for him. And, what I have given up to be the best mommy that I can.

We also had our last appointments with our baby doctor here in Colorado. She said everything is great! We also got our official ultrasound to check that the baby had all his parts! And, he did. It was really neat because the lady showed us all his organs and bones...everything is there! She said it looks like I may be due a few days earlier, but not much of a difference from the original due date. He weighs about 10oz. He was facing upside down with his face toward my spine...with his cute little head resting right on my bladder...no wonder I have to go all the time! It was so cute because she was trying to get him to move around so she could measure and take pictures and he was moving his little feet all around. She did not say how long he was but his feet were all the way about two inches above my belly button. This might be a big baby!

It's a BOY!!!

There's his little pee-pee!

He has his hands over his ears...I don't think he wanted us to see him.





We did a sneak-a-peak photo today of the baby to find out the gender because....well...we just couldn't wait anymore!!! He was moving all over the place like he was on a pogo stick and moving his hands over his face like he didn't want us to look at him. It was sooo neat! Check out our cute little Braxton! Blake and Elle were the only ones that thought it would be a boy and it was! We are so excited and Blake can't wait to buy him little Michael Jordan shoes!

Happy 4th of July!




Blake got to take off early on the 4th of July so we could go see the fireworks at Memorial Park! We talked all the other's in his office into coming out too. It was a great time to relax and see an amazing show! Afterwards, we went and ate wings at our favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings! YUM!

Riddin' Pretty!





Since our little family is growing, we had to trade-in my cute little Honda Civic 2-Door for a 2008 Honda Accord 4-door. I'm not complaining! We got a great deal! Check it out!
