It's been an exhausting week to say the least. Matt started Pathfinders school this week, and he's doing the best he can trying to give me a break, but it's hard because he needs to study and it's time consuming. Two more weeks, ugh. I hate that he's doing these back to back to back schools. He goes back to Benning for Airborne school in late ( Read more... )

Waiting to order it until a little closer to the date so we can make sure we know what size will fit, but this is her christening gown ( Read more... )

Today is our appointment at Vanderbilt with a pediatric gastroenterologist for Bella's acid reflux. She is doing a lot better on the medicine, but I think they need to adjust the dosage some because her symptoms are coming back. I think it's only because she's gotten a lot bigger since the first diagnosis. She's thriving on the breastfeeding and ( Read more... )

I am so incredibly happy that Matt is home. It was a very long 7 weeks without him, and I'm happy for my life to resume it's normal and happy course. I am also ecstatic that I can stop taking the damn medicine they gave me for PPD. I requested it honestly, because I was really afraid of how anxious I was when he first left, and I know in some ( Read more... )

Excited that Matt has a 4 day weekend this weekend, starting tomorrow. He's been working so many long days, so I know he'll be excited to sleep in a little. The shower went wonderful. My sister and my mom worked so hard to put together something gorgeous, and we really had a wonderful time. The weather turned out not so bad, which was great. ( Read more... )

How did we accumulate so much shit in this house?! I'm definitely nesting, and freaking out because there is stuff EVERYWHERE and it's driving me insane. It's also driving me nuts I have to keep taking breaks from trying to clean out the rooms and organize the crap coming out of them. Thank God I got rid of SO much stuff before Matt came back ( Read more... )

First doctor's appointment is a success! Did an exam, discussed lots of options. Monday, I've got for my first bloodwork to determine hormone levels and to see if I in fact ovulate. We suspect I may not be ovulating at all, and that might be the problem. Then next Friday, we have a consulation after the blood results come back and schedule the ( Read more... )

Ah livejournal, we meet again. Next week is my first appointment with the OB/GYN to start the fertility testing and treatments. Since Matt left, things have just been a disaster with it. June 6th I went to the emergency room because I had been in extreme pain for two weeks. I knew a cyst had burst, I just know what it feels like by now. I didn ( Read more... )

Trying to keep it together, but it's getting really, really hard. This deployment is an absolute nightmare this time. It makes the last one feel like some stupid training exercise. I really cannot keep all my pieces together on a daily basis. 12 casualties in brigade this month, THIS MONTH. That is too scary to put into words. That doesn't ( Read more... )
