Out of the Woods

Finally... it is the day I have waited for! We are out of the woods and headed into the open, take a nice long fresh breath of air, because today, we are officially 30 weeks pregnant! In just 2 more weeks we can completely let our guard down and than 2 weeks after that... hell, I can go back to being normal... well, as normal as being 34 weeks pregnant is going to allow.

I didn't think we were ever going to make it to this point. It felt like it was an eternity away, and now here we are! I had mentioned in a previous post how this is around the time that I start really look at my situation and accept what is going on because I don't have to worry so much if the baby comes earlier than it should. Well, I gotta say...

wow.

It's starting to set in that in just 6-10 weeks we are going to have another baby; and not just any baby, but our last baby! It's a little sad to think that we are done, of course I just have to look over and see these three climbing all over the living room like monkeys and I realize that 4 is most likely going to be plenty, and I am sure I will never look at my kids and think too bad we didn't have more.

Well, back to my day.. doctor's appointments , vaccumming, laundry, and yardwork. fun fun.

Take A Break

Well, here we are again... another late night, I am wide awake... it has officially become tomorrow, and I don't feel sleep coming anytime soon. I haven't had a whole lot of worth-while thoughts running through my head lately; everything has become very routine and my days just sort of fade in and out of one another. I mean, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but when I get into these robotic ways I feel like it means I am slacking on the children. I may be comfortable with cleaning floors, dishes, and doing laundry at the exact same time everyday, and spending spare time watching tv, crocheting, and sitting around the house; but these poor girls must hate it. I really need to find a way that we can still go do something without me breaking my rules for pregnancy. The beach is a no-no because walking in the sand is a workout so, I cant do that. The park would be okay if it didnt mean chasing Boo all over hell and back... getting the pool out and letting them swim in the ...

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...

Im a Big Girl

There has been some conversation lately, about me being the primary contact during Steven's deployments. Primary contact is the person that is contacted in case of any situations that take place in theater (Afghanistan). If there was any type of injury, but he was okay, he would be able to call me himself, but if the injuries were extensive than they would notify me by phone on what is going on, what happened, and where he is located/headed to (medivac out of country, etc.) However if there was a casualty than I would be notified by the infamous movie-made-famous scene of the men in uniforms coming to knock on my door and ruin my life! So.... these are the facts. I have been married to this life for going on 9 years now... This is our 4th deployment, all combat deployments, and I have always understood the risk involved when my husband leaves us and heads out to do the job he has trained so tirelessly for. I have always known that he could be killed in action, or hurt, but I have n...
