We feel so blessed to announce that we are expecting a new arrival in August. I am seven and a half weeks pregnant. We are praying that everything continues to go well. After a little scare at 5 weeks (I had some unexpected spotting) all seems to be settling down. We also thank you for continued prayers and we know that God is in control no matter what happens. In the mean time, I had my first experience with morning sickness at six weeks. I thought it was going to last forever and I was convinced I was having a girl. But, I woke up the morning of week 7 and haven't been nauseous since. Which also convinced me its now a boy. Granted, I am eating everything in sight. We will keep you all posted.

Squadron officer school

We arrived in Montgomery a week ago. Since then, I've converted this tiny studio apartment into a livable space for our family.
The kitchen is miniature but it is stocked with the basics. A refrigerator, microwave, sink, oven with stove burners, and ample storage for our five weeks stay. We even were supplied with a toaster, coffee maker, a few pots and pans, silverware, dish-ware, and kitchen utensils. What I needed extra the "loan locker" let me barrow.
Such as:
Pizza cutter, high chair, baking sheets, muffin tins, pie plate, extra silverware, large drinking glasses, cheese grater, can opener, and an extra laundry basket.
A few tips for soon to be SOSers.
After polling my girlfriends, I found it useful to bring with me some of my most favorite kitchen gadgets. A cock pot, cutting board, my favorite knifes, extra dish cloths and towels, extra wash cloths, DVDs, books, our own queen size sheets and pillows, a memory foam mattress topper, blender, our pack and play, extra quilt and blankets, night lights, flashlight, laptop, printer, cleaning supplies, and vacuum, curtains, tacts, tape, hole punch, and a mini broom and dust pan.
Now it feels like home sweet home... Alabama.
