Hey everyone! Hope this update finds you happy and well!
Shane, Baby Evans, and I are all settled in at our new place in Sacramento. The move went as smooth as we could have wished it, and nearly all the boxes have been emptied. Also, our home has an extra pep to it these days, as Shane's brother, Dave, moved in, too. Sure makes my tummy happy (and probably wider), as Dave is quite magical in the kitchen!
In other news, Shane is counting down his four days of active duty. Thursday afternoon he'll say goodbye to his squadron, and Friday he'll be welcomed by his new life with the lively reservists. It's amazing how different the two squadrons are. I tagged along the other week as Shane filled out some paperwork with his new squadron, and the reservists I met had this energy, this feeling of freedom that I've never felt on a base before. I cannot be happier for Shane, and I look forward to seeing where his semi-civilian life professionally takes him in the coming years.
The same week we moved, Baby Evans and I said goodbye to my initial prenatal doctor, and greeted the third trimester. (Can you believe it!?!?) We received another great report, but the doc did prescribe me to an iron supplement, which is not abnormal for me. The extra boost should help with my energy level, even though lately it feels pretty high. (Well guess that is based on the fact that I don't nap like I used to. Sure that will change in a couple of weeks...). Now we just wait for base to assign me a new doctor, and plan to go at the 32 weeks mark.
Yesterday, Shane and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon with a professional photographer to take some baby bump photos. Never thought I'd want to indulge in the photographic experience (nor did I think I could convince Shane), but from the proofs we've seen so far, I'm so glad we went through with our decision! Here are the few pictures the photographer (Tiffany Kaye- another military wife who has turned a hobby/passion into a business) shared with us.
(My favorite picture)
There will be more to come in a couple of weeks when she is done editing. So excited!!
Finally, we've had quite a few people ask lately what we need and how they can help in preparing for May 11ish, so in response, we decided to put together a small registry at Target. You can access it via Target.com or at any local Target. We are really grateful for those reaching out to help, be it advice or the adorable goodies we've received for the baby's room. You're thoughtfulness and love is highly appreciated and makes this experience all the more special.
That's all the Evans news for now. Wish you all a wonderful Sunday and a fabulous week!! xoxo
Love,
The Expanding Evans
