Just a quick update

Between the move and the end of my semester, the blog fell to the wayside. I have of course been super sleepy still, but that is starting to fade as an afternoon nap is not neccesity most days anymore. I had my first doctors appointment while Adam was on his lockdown, and everything was great! I got a new due date which is May 31st but I'm pretty sure the first one of May 19th was more accurate. I will discuss it at the next doctors appointment. I have been suffering majorly from headaches at least 5 days a week. This happened with Allie as well, so hopefully they pass soon! My semester is done tomorrow and we decided I would take off until after the baby is born. With Adams work schedule being so crazy sometimes, and the amount of stress school puts on me, it is not worth feeling so hectic inside. We are going back to NJ this week for Thanksgiving. The plans were a mess and had been changing every day until we finally came up with a game plan today. We are driving over night the night before Thanksgiving. We are splitting the day between our families which is nice since they are barely 2 blocks away from each other. Adam is staying until Sunday. He is going to the Eagles game and then going right to the airport to fly home at 9:45. Allie and I are staying in NJ until that following weekend so our families get to spend more time with her. My dad and sister are driving back to KY with me that weekend and then driving back to NJ. What can I say, they love us? I cannot wait to see our family and friends! We have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, especially with our new little blessing on the way!

Family Fun Weekend...put on hold! :(

Well we were SO excited to have this 4 day since Adam has been working like a fool. Well Monday he tells me he thought he lost his cellphone AGAIN (he just lost it 2 weeks ago), so I was pretty annoyed. It was about dinner time and I hadn't heard from him all day, so I kept trying to call him. The first few times it rang, then it would go straight to voicemail. I thought he was at Sprint getting a new cell phone and I was pretty mad! A few minutes later my phone rings, its Adam calling from the ER...He cut his cornea AGAIN! Its the 5th time, 2nd time this year. He really needs to wear big ole' chemistry goggles ALL the time. So hes been somewhat cranky and has had lots of doctors appointments. We were planning on going to the Newport Aquarium, 2 1/2 hours away, this Friday but were only going to go depending on how his eye felt. Well today he gets a QRF (quick reaction force) recall for a briefing. Thats right folks, on our 4 day, Adam was activated to QRF, which means if he was needed on a mission (think state of emergency type of situation) he would need to be on post within an hour. So while he is home, we cannot leave the area. Today he had to go in for his flu shot and tomorrow he has a doctors appointment at 8 and one of his soldiers is graduating WLC so we also have to go to that (and hope Allie won't be too bad!). Im excited for Saturday morning and to not be woken up by an alarm clock! We don't have to rush anywhere and can stay in and have pancakes. We do plan on going to our friends son's football game because Adam is a sucker for little kids playing football. We also want to go bowling on Saturday night to introduce some friends that we think would really get along. Then hopefully Sunday we will get to see the Eagles play football! Well heres to a good weekend (and lots of homework for me!).

Allie's first time bowling

On Saturday we decided to meet Adam after he was done work and go to the bowling alley. We haven't done anything FUN lately since Adam has been working for almost 18 days straight. Allie has never been bowling before so we knew it was going to be an adventure. We got there and there was a birthday party with balloons which immediately made her even more excited. She was amazed at the brightly colored bowling balls and the loud noise and just was ready to bowl before we even had a lane. Unfortunately they didn't have shoes in her size which would of been a super cute picture, so she just wore her "crocs". They had this adorable little dinosaur or dragon ramp which he could put the ball on and it gave it some momentum down the lane.

Once she realized the ball came back UP, that kept her attention more than how many pins she hit. We only made it one game because it was pretty exhausting trying to keep her happy when it wasnt her turn and she was announcing "I sad!" every 5 minutes. I only beat Allie by 10 points, she got an 88! In my defense, she did have bumpers AND Daddy's help! It is definately something we are going to try again soon.

Everything else in life will hopefully settle down for us soon. We are still waiting on word from housing and hopefully they will call us soon! Adam has been working like crazy, but he has a 4 day this weekend to that definately means some fun family adventures. We plan on going to the Newport Aquarium and having dinner in Cincinnati. It is only about a 2 hour drive or so, so I am pretty excited. The weekends have been very quick and uneventful since Adam works until 4 or so. Im ready for some family fun and hopefully for some Eagles football! School is a little challenging this semester, a lot of reading and response writing, but so far its going well! Im not sure what is ahead for me with school if I get pregnant. My original plan was to take the month of December off, but with the possibility of a baby on the way, I may need to go in December just to get two more classes out of the way before the baby would be born. I guess it all depends on what we find out this upcoming weekend!

Allie: Our little professional bowler!
