Oh, the army wife life! Funny how similar the med school life can be at times. Moving, not knowing our next move, having to make friends all over again, spouses having to travel, lots of time by ourselves, and our spouses being workaholics - all for a good reason, of course!
But seriously, military spouses deserve so much credit. Almost as much credit as the soldier themselves. Well, almost. They are the strongest supporters of those actually fighting for our country. They're the rock that stands behind the scenes, helping their heroes to give all they have. The ones that generally don't get credit because their spouse shines in the spotlight as the hero. So cheers to all you military spouses - men and women - who are doing what you do to keep those heroes going. Keep it up ;)

My cousin recently moved from California to Alabama (whose husband is in the army) -- so of course both of their families are thrilled to have them back on this side of the world! (well, country!) Welcome back to the east side, both of you! And what's even more exciting is that they are expecting their first baby in just a few short weeks. A sweet baby boy! Her husband is off at training, so my other cousin and I took a little trip to her newly sweet home Alabama, with Baby E in tow. Her first 'girl's weekend!'
At 36 weeks (now 37), she is glowing, of course. Pregnancy will do that to ya!
We had a wonderful assistant who fixed hair, held props, and checked on Baby E numerous times! Thanks Heather :) All so we could get these gorgeous photos of Jess!
We are beyond excited for her to become a momma. Baby Sofield will be meeting his wonderful parents within the next 3 weeks!! (Unless he decides to pull a Baby E and come late..we'll see!)
This Florida-turned-California-turned Alabama southern belle is ready to pop, ready to meet that baby, and ready to become a momma!
Looking beautiful, of course!

It's pretty crazy that we grew up spending many weekends together - with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Tom bringing us on trips all over Florida. Disney, beaches, camping, and more. We always had a blast. And now we are having babies 4 months apart.
Here's to praying for a safe and healthy delivery, and that all goes well with Momma and Baby. And an extra special prayer in hopes of Daddy-to-be attending the birth. We've all got our fingers crossed for you three!
