A whirlwind!

Yes, that is what the last few days have been!

Let's see where to begin.......Our most important news was received yesterday. We found out that we will be having a BOY!!! Yikes! I am super nervous, excited, and scared. I think Ben is mainly EXCITED. Ben did not get out of his meeting early enough to make it so I had the ultrasound tech write the sex on a piece of paper. Ben called me when he left Cherry Point & there was no way I could wait an hour to open it. I pulled off the side of the road (thank goodness!) to open it, told Ben "you win" and proceeded to burst into tears! Lots of emotions. I guess we have broken the pilot/Heider/Beach curse of girls :-)

O.k. let me backtrack. Monday had me SUPER, CRAZY busy preparing for the wives coffee. (A monthly get together of the spouses from Ben's squadron.) I was in tears several times that day but it all turned out well.

Tuesday, I worked as usual and was preparing to pick Kendall up to come home and clean for Ben's family when.......OOPS! Aunt Cathi and Uncle Paul were here a day early! (I think that puts my arriving at Kennedy's bday party 3 hours early to shame!) They went to Wilmington for a few hours & I frantically cleaned the upstairs for their visit!! We had such a great time even though they were only here for one day. I will try to post pictures later on.

Wednesday was another busy day. I had my holter monitor (for my heart palpitations) put on in the morning, visited with Paul & Cathi, then went to see Dr. Wright (the maternal-fetal specialist.) He thinks that our little boy looks fine thus far so please keep praying for both him and I that are hearts are ok! If any of my test results come back that I have a genetic defect of the heart then the baby will have to have an echocardiogram. (How they do this is a mystery to me!)

Today I went back into Naval to get the monitor removed and have been doing a few things around the house. Kendall has a play group this afternoon so I am hoping to get a nap in before we go to that!

Ben is still plugging along with his job. He has been training pretty good as well. He will be watching a few dogs for the Young's this weekend so hopefully that will go well!

Stay tuned and we will let you know what else is new :-)
