Dustin's homecoming

Dustin's finally home! Yippy! After the longest 7 month deployment ever, husband finally made it. He got home just a week ago and we have been loving spending time together and preparing for our new baby! Dustin got to go to our doctor's appointment on Tuesday. It was his first time hearing the baby's heart beat which was hard to find at first (due to his unusual and tight position) but strong! Dustin was very excited. The doctor said that Baby Boy Benson is still head up, and that most likely he will not turn. We go back for another ultra sound this coming Tuesday. If he is still breech we will schedule a c-section somewhere around the 7th of August. Right now I'm to the point of just wanting to meet our baby whether it's via cesarean or otherwise. It is however stressful knowing the date your baby will be born. Dustin and I are continuing to enjoy each other's company after such a long time apart and ready ourselves for the biggest change to come our way!

Pregnancy Update

I went back to the doctor this morning. They told me that little baby Benson is still in a frank breech position. I was also told that my due date has moved from the 8th of August to the 15th. As upsetting as this was to hear (I would much prefer the normal way of delivery and am certainly saddened by the extra week of pregnancy) I also received good news as well. The baby's heart is "beautiful" and developing very nicely, he weighs 6 lbs 1 oz right now and is right on target for a healthy little guy. I go back to the doctor next Tuesday. All faith is not lost to the possible c-section, they will do another ultra sound in a couple weeks before we actually plan on a cesarean. We continue to pray for a healthy and happy little guy, no matter which way he makes his appearance, please continue to pray with us.

Besides the update on our baby Benson, Dustin will be coming home very soon! Although I can't put his exact date or time on here, it's very near! I am trying my best to get things around the house ready for him. I'm very excited for him to finally come home, it's been a long 7 months.

Welcome to our Blog

I decided to start a blog in order to keep everyone up-to-date on the pregnancy and baby Benson to come. The good news is I only have four weeks left, the bad news being I might not make it. In retrospec this pregnancy has been relatively easy for me. That being said I'm completely over the whole carrying a baby in me and am ready to meet our bundle of joy!!!

Dustin, or for those of you who know him as Guito, is getting ready to come home after a very long deployment! He will be here just in time for me to go into labor. Lucky guy, huh?!? Although I've missed him greatly, I'm extremely nervous for him to see me and all the changes that I have gone through since he left. When he last saw me I weighed a tiny 120, that number has changed quite a bit since he left. :)

We are both very excited to meet the new addition to our family! We can't wait for all the new, exciting, scary, and rewarding adventures to come our way. Hope you all enjoy reading Our Family Blog!
