Welcoming our littlest prince, Beckham

So... I'm baaaack! Life got a little busy after the last post. REALLY, REALLY busy actually, so I'm going to break the blog updates down into smaller sections in order to catch back up and continue the blogging. Catching up after the last time I left off... Well we found out we were expecting another little boy. That summer I packed up the kids and headed home to WA for a little fun in the sun with my family and Brookie and Bry. We stayed an entire month and celebrated my 30th birthday! It was a fantastic birthday and such a wonderful vacation!!! Everytime we visit, it's such a harsh reminder of the sacrifice we make living the military life away from my precious loved ones. 










As summer passed and we moved though Autumn until Christmas was near. I grew big and was close to popping! My little prince who we decided to name Beckham was just around the corner from making his appearance. A few of my friends got together and threw me a little baby shower to welcome the new prince. ..
32 weeks Gestation 

3 Days before Induction @ 38 weeks



As we entered the Christmas season I anxiously awaited the arrival of Beckham. We decorated the house and went on as usual. We were expecting family to come for a visit once he was here. Well finally the day of induction was here and I packed up and headed to the hospital. 
It was a very very cold December morning in Virginia.
