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.

Missing In Action

Well, I honestly have to question my mental health on certain days. It feels like every time I talk to someone who is about to make a career move, their number one concern is how long that job is going to take them away from their families... I do not think we ever even considered this when he started doing what he is doing now. It's the weirdest thing to me that people are conerned with deployments and training schedules... I never really give it much thought because it is normal to us, I guess. I remember a time when I was adjusting to Steven always being gone, and I literally had to carry a picture of him with me at all times because I was certain that I was going to forget what he looked like. There were very late nights, up with kids, where I was worried I was going insane because I did not feel like this husband of mine actually existed. How ridiculous is that? Now, I suppose we have gotten so good at being apart, that he can be gone for majority of the year and I do...

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...

yawn

I honestly dont remember the last time I was literally falling asleep while watching television... but I am exhausted. It feels like everything has settled down with Cara and now the exhaustion of it all has finally caught up to me. I need to just sleep in, but alas, meds at 0100 and 0700, so no rest for the mommy. It's going on midnight, and I have to wonder if it's even worth going to bed for an hour, just to have the cursed alarm wake me up in a little bit. Guess it is good practice for when Ivan gets here and is on my case for late night feedings. Oh, how I hate newborns! I know that is a bad thing for a mommy to say, but who enjoys anything that tires them out and makes them miserable? Sure, I love my babies... but I love em even more when they start sleeping through the night. There's your honesty for the evening... I guess I'm too tired to sugar coat things. That or I'm just bad at sugar coating... either way.. there you have it :) I guess I will go ...
