Hola! Sorry it has taken me so long to update since we found out what the baby is. I've been going non-stop and it's catching up to me because today I could barely drag my feet. The great thing is that I've been feeling great and have been able to keep up.
So Friday was the Marine Corps Ball. It was my very first one and Joshua's first real one (he went to one at MOS school that wasn't exactly the real thing). It was really nice and we both had a great time. I even dropped a few tears during the ceremony, but I can always blame that on my hormones. Up until about Tuesday, I wasn't even sure I was going to be able to go. I borrowed a dress from Kate and took it to the tailor to get fitted; and when I went to pick it up a week later (4 days before the ball), it was too small! With the help of a friend, I was able to borrow a nice, stretchy dress just in time. Whew!
I don't think I've posted Baby Breaux's name yet in this blog; so for those of you who don't know, his name is Beckham Patrick and I'll be referring to Baby Breaux here on out as Beckham. Hopefully he's still a boy at the next ultrasound! I feel very confident that he will since the doctor told us that if he comes out as a girl then it was divine intervention! So, Beckham must really have a grown a lot in the last week because he is kicking much stronger now. Before, I could just turn on my side if he was moving around too much and I wouldn't feel him, but now I feel him no matter how I lay. And before, I would mostly feel him at night, and now I'm feeling him all day long. He's about 10.5 ounces now and I can't imagine how much I will feel him when he's a whole pound! He even has eyelashes and eyebrows now, and little teeth buds. So are you ready to see him? Introducing Beckham Patrick Breaux:

We've already been getting lots of baby boy clothes. Friday I went shopping with Robin and Kate and they bought a lot of cute things, Donna bought a cute little outfit and shoes, my mom bought a security blanket, Jason bought him a bib from Hooters, and my friend Amanda gave us a bag of clothes that were given to her from one of her friends. Joshua and I bought our first little boy stuff on Sunday, and we got some overalls and penny loafers. I can't wait to see him in all this stuff!
As for the belly pic, I plan to update tomorrow!
saw it!
