We are very excited, I can't hardly wait to buy pink stuff and bows. I've got Crystal Burningham here that will be her stylist. Crystal seems to be a pro at baby girl fashion!

We have decided to name her "Penny Marie Campbell". We might change the middle name but that is what we have came up with so far. If you have any suggestions for a middle name we are open to discussion. As far as the first name, it's PENNY, if you don't like it, tough, we do! Sorry I don't mean to sound rude but we have gotten some interesting reactions to that name but both Steven and I LOVE IT and that's what matters.

John and Gavin are very excited to have a sister. I think they are ready for a change too. They are already skeeming up ideas to torture her =) And, while Steven won't admit it, he seem very excited that it's a girl. He says that he is only excited because I got what I wanted but I think he just doesn't want to admit that he is now going to have a Daddy's girl. Watch, she will have him wrapped around her little finger just like I had my Dad. lol!

Steven is doing good in Iraq. He says he is HOT! Well, we all know that he's very HOT but he means that the temperatures there are unbearable. He does a lot of emergency dental work mostly. He says he is getting a lot of experience doing root canals and 3rd molar extractions (wisdom teeth). He seems to be enjoying the experience but is hating being away from us. He also gets really bored. If any of you would like to e-mail him, he would love to hear from you, s.camp101@yahoo.com His 32nd Birthday is September 28th and our 8 year wedding anniversary is on September 29th. Steven has been gone for almost 3 months now and I can't even explain in words how much we miss him. The boys ask me almost everyday when he is coming home. They also make comments all the time about how much they miss him. Sometimes Gavin tells me when I am sad, "don't cry Mommy, daddy will be home soon" then he says, "if you cry I'm going to cry too, so don't!" That always snaps we out of it. I am very lucky to have such wonderful sons, they take good care of me =)

Steven is doing his best to get home by my due date (December 6th) but it's not looking good right now. If he were to get home by the 6th that would be a month early and I had both John and Gavin two weeks early. If that is the case I would have her in late November. I am keeping my fingers crossed but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. If he doesn't get home in time my parents will be here and I have an entire neighborhood of friends all lined up to help me. These Army wives are awesome, they are like my family and they have my back. Some of them are going through their 2nd and 3rd deployments! When ever I think I have it bad I just think of how strong all these women are. They are really just unbelievable women! Steven is on a 6 month deployment which is so short compared to others. Most soldiers go for at least 12 months and sometimes 15 to 18 months! We really need to keep these families in our prayers for the huge sacrifice they have and will continue to make.
