About Me

My photo
We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

I know...I know...

I know it has been FOREVER since I have posted and I have gotten more than my fair share of mean comments telling me or asking me why I have not posted...and that I have nothing better to do...well...I just haven't felt like posting and didn't really have anything to say.  I felt like changing the layout....it is a bit crazy but that is how I feel right now and I also decided to change the ticker to the funny version instead of the serious because it makes me laugh....hope it doesn't offend anyone....we have finally finished the babies room and once Josh is done with his homework for today I will get him to upload the pictures on his computer so that I can get them over to my computer to put on here....I also have an updated picture of my ever so large self!  

For those who have asked or are curious...I am officially off bed rest.....YEAH....It was the worst week of my life but I had to do it for the safety of my precious, ever so active little one who is kicking the crap out of my cervix and hips....  Adah is growing....growing...growing....she has officially run out of room so I no longer feel kicks but rather extreme pressure and attempts to move.....she is so funny already.....and either loves or hates Josh's face to be on my stomach(depends on if he has shaved or not)...that is the only way that we can get her to move if we have not felt her in a few hours.....!  I am officially having appointments every 2 weeks now until I am 36weeks...when I will start to go every week!  In good news....my doctor said that my placenta doesn't seem to be a problem anymore so I should be able to have a normal delivery....!  

I am going to make a voting or guessing game...so that people can put in their predictions on when they think she will make her grand entrance and what her weight might be....just for some information so you can be thinking about your guess....my due date has been changed from the 24 to the 19......she is measuring in the 72%......and is measuring 2 weeks ahead of a May 19th due date......( I know she is huge)......I was born a month or so early(they thought I was a month and 1/2 early)and Josh was born about a week maybe a little less early.....Josh weighed around 7lbs at birth and I weighed 5lbs and some change.  Get your predictions ready....and the closest person will win a prize...not sure what yet....but I have some time to figure that out!

I PROMISE to post some pictures later this afternoon.......check back.....

Sunday Song

I know I have not posted in a long time...we have had visitors and I have been exhausted everyday...Josh has been taking a lot of tests, long papers and group projects, recovering from a leg injury, and even got sick. I figured I would start with the Sunday Song of the week from this past Sunday.

This song really touched me....hope you enjoy....I will be sure to update more soon on everything that has been going on....and of course a new pictures since it has been 4 weeks since my last picture.

Rescue (this is also sung by Hillsong united)

AT&T Pro Am @ Pebble Beach

It is exciting here in Monterey right now.....the AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament is going on so all the professional and amateur golfers as well as the celebrities playing on teams with them for charity are all in town. Lucky us that had military day yesterday for the last day of practice rounds and for the celebrity 3M Challenge. Unfortunately we were unable to make if for the challenge because Josh didn't get out of class until noon...Josh wasn't even able to go at all anyways....so I went with our friends Rob and Amanda. It was a lot of fun to watch all the celebrities, professionals and amateurs practice and be out and walking around the Pebble Beach course....we tried to get some autographs and pictures....actually we really wanted to get a picture and autograph with Justin Timberlake...but as we were waiting on him to come out it started to pour down rain so we decided that JT was not worth it.....I don't like him that much...I was really just going to do it for my sister....but we did get a picture with actor Greg Kinnear which was cool!

99 days...WHAT....

So I can't believe that we are only 99 days away from the due date....I know in some ways that is a lot but to me under 100 days is nothing!  We can't believe how fast it has gone...but so slow at the same time!  Everything is good with us....we are working....going to school and hanging out our friends Amanda and Robert.  I am having fun doing water aerobics and walking...trying to stay active....Amanda and I even did a 5K yesterday morning!  Josh has been super busy with group projects....he didn't get home before 5 all week last week...which is a LATE day for him.  He is also meeting with the professor that he will be doing his Thesis with!  

I go for my 1 hour glucose testing on Thursday....let me tell you how excited I am about that!  As long as everything comes back fine and I don't have to go back and sit for the 3 hour one I will be fine.

Adah is getting alot stronger with her kicks.  She was having a party the other night.....she would stop flipping and kicking.....Josh found it humorous.  We also discovered that she doesn't like anyone or anything to touch my stomach(thats my girl).....when my stomach touches Josh at night from turning over or something she kicks the crap out of him.....so we usually wake up laughing.....also my friend Amanda touched my stomach before the race yesterday and Adah practically kicked her and off....I like to say she is my little protector......she knows that I don't want my belly touched so she is fighting everyone off for me.  She kicks some when I touch her but she usually is more playful when it is me b/c I push back and she knows its me and will play games with me.

This week we will be cleaning and Josh will be getting ahead on homework and stuff.....our friends and old neighbors Christie and Eric are coming to visit us from Connecticut....Christie is coming to help me play and shop.....Eric is coming to help Josh move some big things around to get the baby room set....and to give Josh someone to play video games with so he doesn't have to go and play baby with me.  They are coming on Saturday so Josh and I will be going out on Friday night to celebrate Valentines day.....not sure what we are gonna be doing exactly yet....we are making it a low key V-Day....no gifts this year....we are just gonna hang out and be with each other....probably go to a nice dinner and maybe a movie.....we will see.  

Hope everyone has a good week!
