Update with Josh!

So.... A couple weeks ago Josh was informed that he had orders to go to Mississippi on July 30th. We had been told he would be here till after the Christmas break. So we were a little stressed since that would mean he would miss the birth of Teagan, and leave me here all alone with a 2 year old and a new born in a place where we dont know all that many people and dont have all that many resources to help me out.

Then last week we were able to work things out to where he isnt leaving until November 29th. This means that hell get to see the birth and spend a few months with her and get to go back to Utah for Halloween (if leave gets approved). Then after he is there for a few weeks he gets to come home for Christmas break ( 2 weeks) which will be nice again for the sake of the kids and my sanity!

We arent certain what is going on with me and the kids as of now but we have heard rumors that they are going to try to get us moved out sometime in January so we can be there when the boys arrive in San Diego. Its not official yet. but if thats the case Josh will again get to come home and take leave to move us out there so again, more time with us!

The other option that they are considering is having us ( there is one other sailor who has a wife and a son (2) and is due the day after me) stay here until the ship pulls into California in June / July and then sending the boys back to get us and move us out then.....

I prefer the other option but I really dont have a say. It really sucks because in talking to the higher ups we found out that Josh and the other guy werent even supposed to come out to Virginia they were supposed to go directly to San Diego BECAUSE they have families where as no one else does. Every one is really confused as to how we ended up here?! Go figure! But We keep praying that we will get to go out in January, and that Joshs ship will be finished ahead of schedule so he can come home sooner!

If you do the math. If Josh ends up being gone till July we will have lived together for 10 out of the 30 months he will have been in the Navy at that point!

Its weird because I keep talking to different wives and they all say they have never heard of people getting such crappy luck with the Navy. No one has ever heard of half the things we have to do and go through but for some reason Josh and I are just that special! I guess God really really loves us??! I dont know! But the good news is that at some point in time we will be in San Diego and we will be closer to family and we will be in nicer weather! No kidding people I hate the weather out here! I like Virginia and the experience is cool but I hate the heat and it is so stinken hot out here! Just one more way we are so very lucky! Record heat this year! It got really hot really early and no one can remember the last time it was this hot! Also the worst allergy year and the worst/ coldest winter! How do we end up getting oh so lucky??!

Pregnancy 2 entry 4

Well Im 33 weeks! woot! That means Im almost done right... RIGHT!!!

I was checked in to the Emergency room the other night because I was having heart attack like symptoms. Chest pressure and pain, labored breathing, pain in my right limbs. Plus you add the dizziness and fainting..... Lets just say I was getting worried. So I check in and they do a couple EKGs and they come back normal, as always. They did my blood pressure and it was supper low. Ive never seem my own numbers that low before... EVER. But everything looked ok and checked out and was fine. They coulnt figure out what was wrong with me so they chalked it up to anxiety and referred me to a shrink so I could try to better control it or talk about it or whatever. I dont think its necessary but, What do ya do.

We have every thing we need for the first 3 months. Want is a different matter but thats ok. We are working on the 3-6 month stuff slowly since it will be here before we know it and we really didnt have to buy as we went with Hayden. In fact we didnt have to buy anything for Hayden till he turned 2. So we are a little nervous about how thats going to work and have decided that staying ahead of schedule is usually the best rout!

I have made 2 tutus. They are supper cute and were way too easy! I cant believe the stores charge 35 dollars for something that cost me 4 to make! I am in the process of making her a blessing blanket and am about half way done. and I plan on making her a Halloween tutu. It would be cheaper than buying her a costume and I think it would be super cute! I saw the ob/gyn today and only gained 2 pounds this month! which is awesome. And most likley due to the fact that its so hot we dont ever stop sweating over here! but whatever it is Im happy! 7 weeks left and my next apt with her isnt until August 27th which will put me at 37 weeks. With Hayden I had already started dilating and was a 3 and 75% effaced when I was 37 weeks. No nothing happened but they say you dilate faster with the second kid so Im a little nervous I wont see her again till the baby is actually born. And she is sending me to a cardiologist because she doesnt agree with the anxiety diagnosis. So yet another doctor for me to see..... hoorah! And she changed my heart burn meds. which is nice because its only one pill a day vs. 2.

Im super tired and cant sleep at night. but I have slept all day today and now go figure Im up late! lol! And when the weather is cool enough we still go for our 2 mile walk every night! So I should be happy I can still walk and such.

Well that about sums it up for now!
