I had a few friends ask to see the belly bump. I know it is a horrible pic and I am half cut out of it, but I promise better pics soon. I can't believe my rump is the same size as my bump and this is only 13 weeks!! Ha ha!

Sick Sick Sick....
So I got a good scare. The other day I woke up to drive back to Virginia from visiting my parents in North Carolina and was covered in sweat and felt HORRIBLE!!! My mom took my temp and it was 102! Being that this is my first baby I freaked out. Since Frank is active duty military I have to get approved before I can go to see a doctor....Those people kept me on hold for an hour and a half!!!! I was so upset!! Finally I got thru to someone who could help and she told my mom to take me to the emergency room. Let me tell you that group at Moses Cone was soooo wonderful. They took me in right away and I was only there for two hours running labs! For an emergency room that is pretty quick. Fortunately I didn't have the flu just a virus. I am still sick and still in NC, but my fever is down to 99. Everyone told me I would freak out and become super protective over my baby while I was pregnant, but I think that was an under statement. As ridiculous as this sounds I thought I was hurting my baby by having a fever! It of course is dangerous to have a fever that high while you are pregnant, but I could not stop crying!! Babies make you and bubbling idiot, but I do love my little bambino (that is what Frank calls the baby)!

Baby Stuff...
Oh I am sooooooo excited. So everyone has been asking me alot of questions...I will try to answer them all.
Frank and I have been trying for awhile. When I went in for my yearly physical I mentioned it to my doctor and she sent me to see a specialist. When we went to see him he told us if we weren't pregnant by December we would try some other options, but he said he had never been wrong before and that we would be before Christmas....MAN IS HE GOOD!! Hahaha!
When I took the test you could have knocked me over with a feather. Frank was so sweet....he told me not to worry about anything and just to think happy thoughts and he would do all the worrying! I think that is the sweetest thing he has ever said to me!
As for being sick...I haven't had any morning sickness!!! I know how lucky I am with that!! The only things that are kind of annoying is the tightness I am already feeling and being tired all the time! Plus Frank and I came down to NC for the weekend and it took FOREVER to get home because I had to stop and pee so much!! Haha! All this water drinking makes travel take so much longer! :)
It was fun telling our family! Everyone is sooooo excited about being Grandparents and Aunts/Uncles! I think that telling everyone has been the most fun! Especially when it was totally unexpected.
Frank and I of course are worried about money and being so far from home with no family near by. I think everyone worries about money, but from what we are told it all works it self out in the end. We are so thankful that this happened while Frank is on shore duty and will get to be here for the whole thing and will probably get a full year with the baby before he goes back on sea duty. I am scared for when that happens and having to do it all by myself while he is deployed, but I have been assured by all the three sets of grandparents that I will have as much help as I can stand!
Thanks everyone for all the nice messages on here and on facebook. It has been such and exciting thing to share with you all. I will try to keep you posted as I go through my appointments...our first is November 13th! Love you all!

Sooooooo Much to Say...
WOW has this been a busy month!!!! We have had so much company and so many wonderful things going on up here!! I will try to do a quick overview so you don't have to read a novel!
First, My Dad and Grandfather came up for the Yearly Oceana Naval Base Airshow! It has become somewhat of a tradition for the family to come up for the festivities. The show was great this year. The Blue Angles were there, and lots of other fun stuff. I think they really enjoyed it!
Then last week my brother Jason and his wife Liz came up for a long visit! It was so fun to have them up here. It was their first visit up here to see us! We don't get to spend alot of time together so it was wonderful, but the timing was bad and good. The day they came up we were expecting a North Eastern (really bad storm...lots of rain and wind) and it was really really really COLD!!! It was also the weekend of the Neptune Festival which is the BEST!!!! It is like City Stage back home, but with huge sandcastles!!! Later in the week we actually were able to get a little sunshine and were able to make it down to the beach to get our toes in the water and check out the crafts and venues at the festival. We even took their babies (Puppies Colby and Oscar) down to the beach for the first time!!! I don't think they liked it much! Mainly we stayed around the house though playing Playstation and visiting. It was nice. Since my Brother and Liz have been married I really haven't gotten to know Liz very well so it was nice to have some time to just talk and do some fun things...just the two of us. I loved having them up and hope they will come to visit again soon! We have some pictures to post from the weekend, but I have to wait to get Liz's pics.
Our other big news is that Frank passed his test for Master Training Specialist!!!!!!!!! This is such an accomplishment. This means that now he, as a Naval Instructor, can teach any courses the Navy offers in ANY subject!! I was so proud of him!!! He has worked so hard on this. The studying doesn't end there though....he has already began studying for the next Chief's exam in January. We will have to start our prayers and finger crossing again now! :)
News from me...I just got my first calling at church! Guess they really do snatch you up quick when you are in a small ward. I got called to be the Relief Society Secretary. When the Bishop called me into his office I thought I was just there for a "Welcome to the Ward" talk, but when he said he had a calling for me I was nervous, but this calling doesn't seem so bad! Also I have started taking Yoga four times a week. Let me tell you....after class you feel great...on top of the world...the next day....PAIN!!!! I hope it is all worth it!!
