Proud of our Pilot

Every year the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station puts on an air show for the public to come see and learn about Marine Corps aviation world. Being from Yuma, we are very familiar with the tradition since they do it there as well and know how fun it is to go check out all the air crafts, sit in their cockpits and watch them fly showing us their amazing capabilities. This year, Zane was selected to be one of the pilots flying in the air show to show off his helicopter, the CH-46 Sea Knight, aka "Phrog." Cally and I proudly watched daddy do his thing and show everyone what the phrog can do. What a proud moment for us! 

 "Hi Daddy!"

After his flight, we met up with Zane and walked around showing Cally the phrog and other cool aircrafts that the Marine Corps has. We had a great day and couldn't be prouder of our pilot!

A Good Day!

Today has been a good day. After waiting for what seemed like forever, we have been blessed with the most amazing news, I'm pregnant!

I took a dollar store pregnancy test this morning in hopes that I was pregnant like I have been doing for the past year. Without much hope,  I left it on the counter and walked away almost certain it was going to be, again, negative. After a few minutes I looked at it and sighed because there was no obvious second line. As I was about to throw it away, I glanced at it again and saw a very faint line. I couldn't believe it! I walked around the bathroom in circles asking myself if I was seeing things, if this was in my imagination, or was there really another line.  Zane is gone and will be gone for another two weeks so I was all alone in my debate. I finally decided I needed a "good" test, and ran to the store to purchase the digital kind. I rushed home, peed on the stick and waited for what felt like eternity! Suddenly, the word pregnant popped up and I was ecstatic! I jumped around the bathroom filled with happiness and then hugged Cally! I was so excited!

I debated waiting to tell Zane until he returned but I knew I would not be able to keep it a secret when we spoke on the phone so I sent him a picture via text:

He called me as soon as he got the text and was pretty much speechless. He just kept laughing.

We are so very excited to have another baby! Praying that everything works out and that my pregnancy goes smoothly and easily. Yay for baby Running # 2!
