Mommy & Daddy are Having a Baby!
The day they heard the news - September 28, 2001
Mommy went to the doctor because she was having very bad cramps & she found out about me!

Then she drove to VMFAT-101 where my daddy worked and told him.

The first person she told was her best friend Stacy Shearer, and daddy's best friend Ellis Brittin.

Mommy and Daddy also found out that day that my great-grandpop had died.  It was a sad day, but a friend said it best when she said "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away."  I know that my great-grandpop is watching over me, he is my guardian angel along with my other great-grandparents.

Mommy's first doctors appointment was on October 5, 2000 at Balboa Naval Hospital.  The office was located in Building 3, Deck  1....and was a place mommy would visit alot while she was waiting on me!
