I actually knew we were expecting on August 2, 2012. And that is the only fact I can remember... I woke up one day that week after I had a horrible dream that Dustin was killed in Afghanistan and I spoke at his funeral with a big ole pregnant belly. It was awful, but I knew right then. No test, just knew. I took the test on 8/2 and the only reason I remember that is because that is the day Mrs. Rose Smee passed away. I remember thinking how crazy that one life left this world and I just found out a new life was coming to this world..

 

 

So the months went by pretty fast until the last 6 weeks or so. Dustin worked a few weeks in Virginia and a few weeks in Afghanistan while I was pregnant but he was home for the majority of it. I did the best I could to still get out and do our normal running around.. We took Mackenzie to a couple Razorback baseball games toward the end before I got too miserable.

Big Sister has loved him since day 1

 

He was a healthy big boy! No NICU visit this go around for us!

 

My C-Section went great! I was worried because when we had Mackenzie it didn't go as smoothly. We came home two days later..

 

Wendy White took his newborn pictures for us and I am in love with them!

Don't want to forget these sweet moments...
