Last Post...

Our Internet is getting turned off tonight before our big move. I wanted to write one last post to tell everyone thank you for your support and love and encouragement through this very long deployment. We could not have gotten through it without you. We will leave early Friday morning for New Bern. Once we arrive we will sign our lease at our new town home. We are staying in a hotel Friday night (thanks to Ling, she surprised me by getting us one). Saturday morning the movers are meeting us at the storage unit and helping us move in. Laura leaves early on the 9th.

I had my last appointment at the midwifery center today. It went well. I'm happy to report that despite having a rough night last night (contractions every 7 minutes for close to 2 hours) I am not dilated at all. The baby is in a face up position (which is not ideal for delivery but my midwife gave me some tricks I can try to get him to turn). She estimates that he weighs about 7 pounds right now so he's on track to be a big boy just like Colby. I'm just hoping he waits until October to make his debut!

Jason should arrive in North Carolina around the 11th or 12th and we will finally be a family again! We can't wait to see you Daddy we love you and miss you so much. Just think, this is your last glimpse of us. The next time you'll see us we'll be live and in person! We can't wait to give you a big hug and lots of kisses.

Thanks again for your love and support your prayers are most appreciated! I will have a HUGE update by the time I get Internet again and don't worry, there will be lots of homecoming pics. We love you!
