It's That Wonderful Time of the Year

So it's only the end of October, but who doesn't love

Christmas!! I know I do! With that being said, I am 

browsing my favorite website to create Christmas

cards for 2011, Shutterfly. They have SO many

options to choose from. We did a simple but

very cute Christmas card last year. This year 

I want to do something more creative, with

more photos and some sweet words.

It's really blurry, but that was our Christmas card

last year! This year I really like these..

I am still searching the website to find the perfect one

but I can guarentee I will be purchasing my cards

from here! 

Family Matters

Saturday afternoon I went and watched hubs little niece cheer 

her last football game. A bunch of the family came out. She 

was so cute. I have photos on my phone, but no clue how

to get them on here (anyone can help). All was good, or

so I thought. I got left alone with his grandmother for 

about 10 minutes, normally it wouldn't be a big deal,

except ever since hubs deployment she has been

a basket case.

I completely understand that the deployment is hard

on EVERYONE. I am in no way putting down how

she is dealing with it, I just don't necessarily agree.

She cries ALL the time, but whatever, if it helps her

so be it. Just don't do it around me is all I ask. She

then proceeds to go on and on about, "Oh, I just

really hope he comes home. I couldn't handle 

losing him." Ummm...hello!!! Your talking to his 

WIFE here, do you really think I want to hear this?

I continue to try to be nice and tell her that she can

not think like that or the next year will be miserable.

I couldn't be nice anymore when she proceeded to

tell me that, although our situation is unique and I am 

his wife and carrying his baby but because I haven't

"known" him for as long as her and the rest of his family

that essentially they should take precedence over me,

because she basically raised him and he is "special" to

her. I get that he is her first grandchild, but she has 5 

other one's to focus on now. They have a hard time

accepting the fact that he is not a baby anymore

and that he has a wife and a baby of his own coming.

I think they fail to realize that I will be the first one to

know almost everything. It's just so frustrating.

They have done a lot for us and the baby already

so I don't want to be a bitch, but seriously, where

does the line get drawn? 

Does anyone else have family in-laws that have been

the same way? How have you dealt with them?

So, deployment sucks. I miss my husband. I am lonely.

Being pregnant isn't helping any.

Especially a high risk pregnancy.

Okay, I'm done complaining.

Here's my song.

It's not Blake Shelton, but their pretty good too

Hope everyone had a wonderful day!
And thank goodness for Skype!!
Just got to talk and see the hubs, I feel better!

These are a few of my favorite photos from a little shoot hubs and I 

did while he was home. My friend Morgan did them for 

FREE! She is amazing. Be sure to check out her other

work.

Let me know what you think of them :)

It's been a while...

Hey guys! Sorry I have been MIA for a while. A lot has happened since

the last time I was able to blog. To get you all caught up though, this

is what has been happening.

Mine and hubs first deployment is well under way. He was just 

home this past weekend for his four day pass. It was 

probably the fastest four days of my life thus far. Sadly 

though, I had to share him with A LOT of people.

As unhappy as I was about sharing him, I was just

happy to have him home. Now he is gone, for 

quite some time too. 

As proud of him as I am, it still sucks. I miss him

so much, especially with the baby coming soon

and all of the baby activities taking place soon.

I just want more than anything to have him here, 

but that isn't an option. I need a hobby.

Preferably one that isn't expensive. Or

an easy coping method to deal with everything.

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. I still have 

a ways to go, but time is going FAST!

January will be here before I know it.

We finally picked out a name for baby, after

much debate. And we didn't fully agree until

hubs was seconds away from getting on

the plane to leave us again. Kind of cute,

definitely not something we will forget.

But we plan on keeping the name a 

secret until baby is born since I didn't

want to tell anyone it was a boy from

the beginning but hubs was so excited.

We also got all moved in to our new place.

And we got to set up the baby's bed & dresser

while hubs was home. So that was exciting.

That is all for now. I promise I will be back

to regularly blogging again. I just had to wait

until the internet got hooked up and spent

time with the hubs. Hope everyone

is well. I have some serious catching up to do.

Hopefully if you follow me on twitter,

your not too far behind on me :)

Bed Rest to No Bed Rest

Today has been an absolute roller coaster. It all started at 8:15am,

I went for baby boys 20 week check up. Now, let me give you a little

back history first. I see my normal OB and then I also see a high risk

doctor. Well, my high risk doctor has had me off work for about

a month and a half, I just went back to work last Monday, but

on extended circumstances.

So this morning, I start telling my doctor about this pain that I have

down in my girl area's, but only on the left side, weird huh? I 

thought so too. High risk doctor told me my potassium was low,

asked my normal doc this morning, he basically told me High Risk

doctor was a moron, that more than likely when I had the cerclage 

done, he hit a nerve. Awesome right? And there is nothing I can 

do about it until 35 weeks when its time for the cerclage to come

out.

He then proceeds to tell me that I need to be resting and not doing

much, I then proceed to tell him that I am back to work. He basically

goes all crazy again because my other doctor sent me back to work

without consulting with him first. Immediately takes me back out 

of work. And then tells me have a nice day, see you in two weeks.

Sure, I left like okay. But 20 minutes after I got home, panic set in.

Hubs was busy doing training so I couldn't talk to him right away.

Everyone in my family is obviously biased, so that was no help.

I know my body and what I can and can't handle, I only work

four hours a day right now and they give me a chair. I freaked

out because well, yeah hubs is making good money, but I still

need to be making something too.

I eventually got to talk to hubs, he told me to do what I feel is 

right for baby and me, as far as continuing to work. I 

eventually called my doctor back, talked to him some more.

He agreed with certain restrictions, that my job is okay with,

thank goodness, I can continue to work only if I am in my 

chair at almost all times...

So, that was my day.

Crazyness.

With that being said, I officially move in 2 days & I will have no

internet or cable until further notice. Unless I can figure out

how to steal the internet from my phone, which I know is possible.

Just have to figure out how.

And, one more thing? Does anyone sell scentsy or any other

work from home type of businesses. I'm trying to come

up with something I can do IF I get taken off work all

together again or just to add some more cash flow, 

since I'm not making quite half of what I normally make.

Let me know :)

So...

completely overwhelmed, with everything.
