Wow, I had no idea that it had been like 6 weeks since I'd updated! September is already half over! Josh is currently in FEX II, but will be back tomorrow. Becca misses him so much when he's gone, she'll be so excited to see him tomorrow. Every night when he gets home she hears him unlock the door and looks up from whatever she's doing and yells, "Dada!". Today I was putting something in the car and she heard me unlock the door and yelled, "Dada!". I felt so bad that it was just me!

So Becca's first birthday was Saturday. I was very weepy the day before and the day of her birthday. I was feeling so overwhelmed with how fast this year has gone by. I realize that were I not pregnant, I probably wouldn't have been so emotional though. : ) Just looking back on the last year and how she's grown and changed....she is such a blessing from God in our lives. *sniff sniff*

I'm now 14 weeks pregnant! It's going by so much faster this time. And my belly seems to be getting bigger a lot faster too...though I think that's normal? I've gained less than 5 pounds so far, so at least I know it's not just fat! I saw 2 women tonight who were both less than 4 months from giving birth and my belly was very nearly the same size as theirs, if not the same and I have like 6 months to go! But it is both of their first kids.

I've been spending lots of time with the other Echo wives lately. Last night and tonight for dinner. It's nice to have people around who understand it all.

Becca is learning like crazy lately! She started saying at least 2 more new words in the last week. Now she knows 8 words I think. Mama, Dada, Baby, Hey, Grandpa, Doggie, Becca, and Book. When she wants something now she points at it and says "Becca!" She also recently started patting our backs when she hugs us....she also does it to her baby!

I guess that's all for now, I won't wait 6 weeks until the next update. : )
