I'm back

Well, that was quite a hiatus huh? Of course a lot has happened since my last blog post.

Ryan left for boot camp, but got to come home for a two week Holiday break. We were so happy to have him home for Christmas, Jaqlyn's birthday (we told her it was the 19th) and my birthday. We even took Jaqlyn miniature golfing for the first time, and her first movie.


"welcome home daddy"


My due date was changed to April 22, 2010, which puts me at 25 weeks. We are having a boy we are naming Riley James. I am a little scared to have a baby boy with baby boners and playing with themselves. I have mostly gotten over it though. I have been having some soreness and I went to the hospital for tests after my stomach was in so much pain I was in tears. And no pica for me, pretty much only been craving oreo McFlurrys.


"preggy belly at 23 weeks"


I had an incident with Jaqlyn's fish, Fishy. I was changing the water in his tank and he is usually pretty crazy when I move him from tank to cup, back to tank but he has a death wish or something. As I was trying to put him back into his tank he jumped out of the net which happened to be over the sink. So, yeah, I lost my daughter's fish to the kitchen sink. I told her he went on a trip and that it was time to choose a new one. I took her to Walmart and let her choose this blue one, the only one that didn't look like he'd survived a fight with another betta and she named him Dory.


"hopefully this fish doesn't end up down the sink"


Ryan has been back at boot camp for a week now. He won't be back home till I am in labor and then he goes back to training two weeks later for a month or two. After that we will finally be stationed.

"doesn't that just melt your heart?"


Jaqlyn and I are moving into our own apartment on February 1st. It will be the first time Ryan and I have been completely on our own, but I'm super excited. I just put half down on our first couch. Right now I'm just trying to fill our days so they go by faster. So I'll have much to write so I hope you stick around with me. I'm off to check out your blogs, thanks for stepping by.

You're back! You're back! You're really back! Missed ya! :)

Little boys are a blessing. Really. Cavin (like Riley will be) is a Mommy's boy. He's sweet and gentle with Mommy but rough and boyish w/ Daddy. Congrats!

I love the name Riley James! Beautiful and goes so well together! And now I want a McFlurry. When I was pregnant all I wanted was KFC and Mexican food. Sometimes together. I know I know. Not the best combo but at the time I didn't care. And I also loved the smell of Home Depot. Funny huh?

Happy to hear that you had your hubby home for Christmas and the birthdays. And yes that picture does melt my heart. My most favorite pics are the ones of my little one and his daddy together.
