Oh Baby Baby!!

So as you all know we are having a baby BOY :) .. Ted got his little man! We couldn't be happier, everything looked great at the sonogram. His name is William Gage Sparks, which is after Ted and his grandpa but he will go by Gage. I am so glad that we don't have to call him an "it" anymore! But we are exstatic and can't wait to meet our baby boy! We can't wait to have him play all the sports with the rest of the youngins on base!

So Ted is leaving for Japan on May 29th for his 6 months. So the weekend prior to that we will be packing up and driving the long little drive to East Texas. I'm glad I will be getting to see everyone but not ready for him to leave one little bit. Being pregnant and having crazy hormones doesn't help any...I am going to be an emotional wreck for awhile. But i'm a military wife so I gotta suck it up right? I will drive Ted to the airport in Shreveport that Sunday and then the countdown begins...We aren't really expecting him to be able to be home for the arrival of Gage because Japan is really far and we just don't think it's going to happen. So Gage won't get to meet his daddy until December which breaks my heart...but we can do it!

We have been really busy lately...we are moving next week, preparing for a baby, preparing for both of us to be gone for 6 months, studying for tests....it's pretty crazy! Ted took his test for E5 and we should find out in May how he did, but we aren't worried about it because I just KNOW he did great! He's a hard worker and had alot of extra points towards his test grade due to the fact that he does so well. He is now studying for the test to become OFFICER :) which i'm sure he will do great on! He is taking it in a couple of weeks and putting in his OCS (Officer Canidate School) package in really soon... We are very thankful to have stability right now when so many people are loosing jobs, homes and their sanity. And can you really beat retiring in 20 years and making great money doing a job that you LOVE? Nope I don't think you can. I of course miss Texas like crazy and all the wonderful people we have there but this is his dream and I back him up 100%. So since we are doing it might as well make the best of it! We hope to be able to move to different places throughout the years and see things alot of people don't have the opportunity to. 

Well guess that's good for now...Keep It Classy blogger world! (anchorman for those of you who think i'm retarted, haha)

......  Oh and a BIG congrats to Dustin and Molly on the baby!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed they get their baby girl that they deserve!!

...... And a BIG Happy one day late 21ST birthday to my wonderful cousin Austin...Hope ya'll have an AMAZING time in Vegas!!
