I had my first prenatal appointment on Friday. The doctor confirmed that I am 7 ½ weeks pregnant (8 weeks on Monday), and set my due date at October 11th. We did a personal and family medical history and I got a bunch of blood drawn for labs. My next appointment will be between 10-12 weeks. She said that everything is looking good so far- Yeah! 
Now for the big, life changing, crazy taxi news… Tony is getting out of the Army and we are moving to Texas; oh, and this will all be happening this coming week. He will be done clearing as of Friday the 5th. He is then taking our stuff (which we have been packing), our dogs, and one of the cars down to Texas.
His parents have been so kind and supportive; they are letting him move into their home while he gets a new job and finds us a place of our own. I am in the middle of my school semester, so I will be staying in North Carolina until May. I will be staying with a girlfriend of mine. After the semester is over I will be joining Tony in Texas. We are nervous, but also excited about the changes in our lives. Tony is especially excited to be near his family again, as he hasn’t lived near them since high school (eight years- old man). I am looking forward to really getting to know this side of my family. We really feel that this is where God is leading us and we are eager to follow where he is taking us.
