Baby Gavin will be here in around 14 weeks =)) I am so excited to have another little one!  I am semi scared to see how Alexander takes not getting all the attention but I think he will deal with it just fine.  

I have had to do so much shopping in the last week its ridiculous. Alexander needed an entire word robe because he out grew his 2T's in length this time not because he is a chunk. He if finally getting taller!! And I have been slowly starting on Gavin shopping. Since we are moving I don't want to get a lot of stuff and then have to pack it all up and move it in a couple weeks. (Our move date is in 26 days)!!! 

I am so ready to get moved! A house with our own back yard!! And able to have animals without breaking us with pet fees! PLUS we will be monitored by security patrol 24hours a day. That's nice to know especially since we have a deployment coming up again...  Unfortunately its only a little bit longer then the time Gavin should be here. 

It has been a long month already!!! and its only 1/2 over =((!!!! 


It all started on December 30th. My father in-law passed away in his sleep sometime during the morning. We are still unsure how he died and it really makes it harder to understand.  But my husband is an only child so we had to do EVERYTHING... luckily he has a great family and his Unlce and Grandma took care of a lot and/or are helping us take care of things.  
But we got home on December 26th, just to turn around and go back to Iowa on December 31st. We spent 10 more days getting as much as we could taken care of. Which was nice being able to see family that much but it was very unfortunate circumstances..
Now back in Virginia, we have started the wonderful pre-deployment schedule. But I am sooo not looking forward to ANY OF IT!!!  


Alexander has not adjusted to having Daddy at work again =(( I dont like it much either but its harder for a 2 year old to adjust then it is for me.  My baby has grown so much!!! He is now in the 75% for his height and weight!!!  He weighed about 33lbs and was about 36 inches tall when we had his 2 year check!
Gavin is growing and moving like he is suppose to. I go for my diabetes test toamrrow and I HOPE I do not have diabetes!!! That would cause so many more problems!! 




We are moving in about a month, to base housing. I finally decided on base because we dont have any bills to worry about other then cable and our cell phones. everything else is paid for, by our BAH. which is what we are paying now anyways. THe biggest plus for me is NOOO STAIRS and we will have a drive way!  That makes it so much easier with 2 kids and groceries while the hubby is deployed again.
