Over a week down in this deployment

I got two boxes sent out to Mike today. $25 isn't all that bad. Evelyn has been super active lately, moving around a ton. I can't wait until December to meet our little girl. The money situation isn't too bad off these days. I'm pretty good at creatively budgeting. I miss Mike but it's not unbearable. I got to talk to him a few days ago. Hopefully communication will get better, but as long as he's safe, it's all good. I've decided i'm going to end up doing the bulk of the baby shopping in October/November. Mike says buy whatever I want/need for Evey.

20 weeks today

Had my 20 week ultrasound today. Baby is stubborn. kept moving and moving around some more. Everything measured great! For most of it, baby was facing the wrong way and teasing us, but finally little Evelyn proved to be a girl. A stubborn little girl. she kept swimming away from the ultrasound tech.

11w 1d

All and all, feeling tired but for the most part, the all day sickness has pretty much gone away. My skin is pretty much freaking out though. :( I'm sure at some point, my skin will get better. we saw the baby on ultra-sound on Friday and he or she was dancing around and doing headstands. already a hyper baby. It was so cool to see the baby moving around so much. About 2 1/2 weeks until we leave for Washington to see the family. That's gonna be a whirlwind.

8w 6d in

I am always so tired and so nauseous. I don't have much motivation to do much, but i'm sure things will get better. 6 1/2 weeks until we head back to Washington for block leave. I really hope I feel better before the road trip.

sleepy

Mike has been gone for a few days and i really just want him home already. I'm definitely missing him.

fort Polk

He's going to fort Polk in a few hours. He'll be gone for 3 1/2 weeks ish. He finally went to jpso today and turned in the papers from when we moved here in January. All I can say about that is finally! It won't be so bad. I made it through Basic and AIT and living in a different state. I can definitely make it through these next few weeks.

as of now.

we went to the FRG meeting last night. It covered what was going to happen in the next few months and the schedule for things. He's supposed to leave next Tuesday or Wednesday for JRTC and then he should be back at the end of the month. June to July we're going home to Washington. At least that's the plan for now.
