Fly Time Fly

Hello cruel world. As of today we are quickly approaching the 19 week mark of pregnancy #4! Wow... we are also officially suffering through our 4th deployment! Wow again. They sure don't get any easier. My hands are going to be so full this time around. Come August I have two in school. I can hardly believe, when I look at kitty, that she is going to be a 1st grader! Where is the time going? Seems like just last week she was coming home from the NICU and I was figuring out this whole "mommy" thing. I must say, I think I got it down pretty good.

It is just as weird to think that Steven is just about half way done with his time in service. For all I know, the next time I blink we are going to be setting up for retirement with a 10 year old boy, 12 year old Boo, and two little girls bugging me to learn how to drive! What's that about? Life seemed to move so much slower when I was growing up, playing out on the front lawn with my brother and sharing a room. And its weird too because sometimes I look at myself and think "what the hell are you doing with all these kids?" hahaha I guess it is a good thing that I feel "too young" to be doing all the things life throws at me.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that we are going to be having a boy. It's insane. I'm very happy for Steven though, he needs someone to pick on, and I can't think of a better role model for a boy than him. He definitely has his life in order and is a part of that dying breed of "men worth knowing." I sure got lucky with this one!

I can't wait for the day that papa, uncle, and steven get to take Ivan fishing and have their first "guy time" together. Maybe that's only because it means we get all the men out of the house lol But that is a long way down the line, and today demands my attention. I have house to clean, and babies to cook breakfast for. So... until next time.

Now Things Get Interesting

We have hit the 21 week mark. you know most women are excited to hit the second leg of the pregnancy, they are finally out of the wood-works, and know that all its about is baby gaining weight, developing lungs, and waiting for its entry into the world. Not so much around here. After them first 20 weeks, my pregnancies quit being fun and start being scary. Other women get excited to feel their babies moving so much, all this little boy does is move around, and it's making me nervous, he agitates my uterus; hasn't caused any contractions yet, but he's still got some room and doesn't have the strength of a 28-32 weeker yet. Don't get me wrong, I love being pregnant, but its scary. And its scary to know I am carrying a boy because they suck at doing good if they are born early. I suppose it will be what it will be and there isn't anything I can do to change the plans set in place for our family. I honestly dont think anything is going to go wrong, I think everythin...

Oh my Aching....

Every morning for the last two weeks or so, I have been waking up with this stupid headache. I can pop some tylenol (3 usually does the trick) but it's getting really old. I was hoping that chopping off all my hair would help, it takes the weight off your neck, but nope... headache is still rocking. Im sure my liver and kidneys are just thrilled with all the tylenol. Oh well, what do you do? So, I was talking to a friend last night about the girls and how they helped out yesterday with all the house work. You know, I do appreciate it, but I don't want it to become something necessary or mandatory. I think they enjoy doing stuff like that because it's not demanded of them, and I want them to continue to find joy in the mundane things in life. Like how I love standing in front of the sink scrubbing dishes... its my quiet time, and my thinking time, and everyone leaves you alone while you're doing dishes. I like mopping too, that really gets you some peace and quiet becaus...

Officially on Deployment Time

Im officially back on deployment time. *le sigh* This is always the worst. Normally I am ready to pass out at 9; but no, no, no... not during deployment. During deployment I don't really get tired at all. Here I am at 1030 so wide awake I think I may be forgetting to blink! Dang it all. I really do not understand it, it is so stupid. I feel like the minute that Steven walks out of the door my brain goes stupid. I mean I was up until nearly 0200 this morning, up at 6 and Im no where near tired. Maybe there is an upside to having a baby during deployment; I dont sleep anyways, and we all know that evil little newborns never let you sleep. This may be a blessing in disguise. *shudder* newborns scare me. Funny coming from the lady with bun #4 in the oven, but I think that first couple months where they wake you up at 10, 11, 1, 3, 4, and 5... ugh! When I found out I was pregnant with Ivan I literally felt the physical side effects of nervousness, tension... it's like damn if babi...
