21weeks;19 to go! & Moving plans.

Baby E is growing everyday and will soon will weigh a whole pound!  I am feeling good and enjoying being pregnant and feeling her move in my belly, She sure is a wiggle worm!  Baby shower/House shower dates have been set and I am looking forward to getting her room ready and decorated :) For those of you you know Michael and I and talk to us on a regular basis or have talked to us recently, I am sure you have learned that we will be making the move to Florida in February.  Michael's MOS is EOD and his training is in VA for 10 weeks, and then in FL for 27 weeks.  During the time we are in Florida baby E will be born.  We do realize that family will not be around all the time and that it will make it more difficult for us, we are NOT in any means trying to make it more difficult for us.  We have prayed about it, talked about it and we do feel like this is the right decision for our family at this time in our lives.  We know that being in the military does not give us the option to chose where we will live, or when we will be able to go home to see family.  We knew this going in and are willing and able to live this lifestyle.  Thank you for your support during this time! Now for baby E! :)
