Update for our family

Hello everyone!
So here I am finally sending out a mass email after the last one back before Christmas :-) Guess we have been a little bit busy. Let's see I am going to try to answer everyone's questions and not be verbose about it.

For our biggest news......Yes, we are pregnant with #2. I am 9 weeks and 5 days so almost 10 weeks. For those of you that spotted the picture of the pregnancy test on Snapfish and emailed about it.....WOW eagle eyes! LOL. We are due on September 18th. I know that there are several b-day and anniversaries about that time so go ahead and put your wish list in! I have been ok. I had a horrible sinus infection with sore throat and vomiting that kept me down on the couch for close to 3 weeks. I now feel good minus being so tired that sometimes I find myself drifting off to sleep in crazy places! We have seen the baby and heard the heartbeat so that really made it seem real.

Onward to Ben.....
No he is not going back out on deployment.
No we still do not have definate orders but Ben talked to the XO yesterday and it seems that he will be placed in 1 of 2 places in Cherry Point. (I want the hard copy of the orders before I will rest easy.)
Yes, he will be commuting to Cherry Point. (There is a back road that he can possibly take which would make the commute 40 minutes.)
Kendall......
What a girl!!! She has been keeping us laughing as usual.
She continues to do Parents Morning Out on Monday & Thursday mornings which allows me to get errands, cleaning, doctor's appts, and other things done.
We have a play group and Laptime at the local library on Wednesdays.
She is starting to put little 2 and 3 word sentences together & has the Heider withering stare down pat.
We just got her 3 in 1 this week so we are going to see how she transitions into her toddler bed since she will be in her "big girl" room hopefully May or June.
I have been continuing to work my one day a week on Tuesdays. It has been going well. The normal drama but that is to be expected I guess. I had a very scary experience this past week but the patient is fine so that is all that matters.

****For our Heider/Lucas/Spencer/PA friends and family......we are going to try to make it home around Memorial Day. Obviously, if we are able to make that trip we will be at the reunion and we want to try and see our friends as well.
****For our Beach/Schwalbe/Denton family......we are also planning on coming to Missouri in July for that reunion. We got the update on the activites that are planned & are super excited.
****For our Pensacola friends.....we are still up in the air about whether or not we are going to come to Dana's wedding. We will have to see how old the baby is and what is going on. I hope to be able to see ya'll though!

Other than that it is life as usual. We have been doing household projects and some home improvement stuff. We are starting to get some grass so those of you that know our frustration with that should be glad!!

Hope all is well with you guys and we hope to see/talk/email with you soon.
Take care and God Bless.
Love and miss you all!
Ben, Jamie, Kendall, and the rest of the family
