Mommy to be on the go!

    Well, here I go again with another Mommy to be update (and it didn't take a month!)...
I have a lot of things coming up with the FRG as well as with me personally. We are going into overdrive mode in preparations for the troops returning home in a couple of months. I have meetings to go to and events to help plan, which I enjoy because it makes me feel needed and useful. I just signed up for a new Bible study called 'Excellent Wife'. It will give a biblical perspective on how to be an "excellent" wife for your husband. I am looking forward to starting it next Tuesday. I am also joining the spouses club called the Hui (sp?). This should be exciting to get to meet other military spouses and join more fun little groups. I am also starting a weekly lunch with a couple new friends of mine and we are going to try a different restaurant for lunch every week. All of this should hopefully keep me super busy until the baby comes.
    Nate and I have ordered Ady's nursery furniture so we are now just waiting for it to arrive so I can finish decorating her room and put it all together! We are so thankful for all of the gifts that we have received! We have amazing friends and families! Nate and I have decided to go with a travel system and now we are just trying to find the perfect one for us!
    Nate has been so amazing throughout this entire pregnancy! I forget sometimes that he isn't here in HI physically with me because he stays so involved. I am constantly getting emails about new things people have told him about or that he has researched, which makes me super happy! He is reading his "daddy books" as he calls them and is putting me to shame with all of his vast knowledge. He loves to sing to Ady and she often kicks in response to her Daddy's voice. I cannot wait for Nate to come home on R&R, I am so ready for a Nate hug. Although, I have heard he has lost 20lbs!!! I hope there is enough left for me to hold onto with that hug, but he works out twice a day so I'm thinking I'll be hugging a rock ;).
   Well that is about all for now! We hope you are all doing well and Nate's up next from across the pond!

Clothes: Leaning more towards dresses these days ;)

New Happenings: I now know what heart burn feels like...Boo!
