Ooops...

I had planned on updating this blog regularly, especially with a new lil miss on the way and so many new things happening in our life. I am totally slacking!!! Things have been pretty busy...

Taylor - started first grade at a new school this year, she will only be there for 3 more weeks (more on that later) but she is doing so great already! Her speech, writing, and reading has made leaps and bounds in the short month she has been there, more so than it did in an entire year at her last school. She will now pick up books and read them to us, at least all the words she knows. We also found out before school started that she would need glasses and she LOVES them. She still seems pretty unsure about a baby coming into the house. We installed the infant carseat/carrier and she just stared at it like, "ummmm..." Hopefully as we get closer she will get more and more excited. She is excited to be a big sister but I am not quite sure she knows exactly what it means. Changes!




Lil Miss - is growing, growing, growing!!! I am currently 29 weeks and 1 day! Hello 3rd Trimester!!! We are in the home stretch, hopefully all downhill from here. At my last sonogram (a week ago), the tech said she was a "chunky lil thing" which is good (in my book), the doctor's were worried because of high blood pressure that she would be small, which is why they scheduled another ultrasound. But even with the HBP I tested negative for preeclampsia and for gestational diabetes. I am having a very healthy pregnancy. The doctor said if anything Lil Miss will be a 39wk baby, but no plans to induce earlier than that. We also had my first baby shower this past weekend. My sister flew up from TX to help throw it with my Aunt Renee and it was great. I am thankful for the friends and family we have up here. Our second babyshower will be in Texas on November 1st, it will be exciting to see friends and family down there. Things are coming together (in boxes) to be able to put together her nursery once we are settled.














Garrett & Myself - things are going great but stressful... We finally got orders to Lemoore and Garrett has to report no later than November 30 and he detaches from his current command on Oct 22. They are coming to pack us out and pick up our entire house Oct 13-16, so we will be staying with my Aunt Renee and Uncle Brian until we leave town, which will be Oct 23!!! It is only about 3 weeks away, it seemed like this day was never coming and now it is right around the corner. When we leave WA we will be heading down to California dropping off Garrett's truck and departing on a couple week roadtrip (as long as my OB still says this is ok and because we won't have a house in Lemoore yet, eeek!). We will head to his parents house in NM for a couple of days, then down into Texas for a little over a week with my family, swing down to San Antonio to see my grandparents, then up to Iowa Park to see his sister and her husband. Around Nov 6 we will head back to NM to stay with his parents for a week or so depending on us having a house or not. We are hoping to be settled in Lemoore no later than November 15 when I will be around 35wks pregnant. Lots to do once we have a house in Lemoore to get ready for the Lil' Miss' arrival in December along with family coming for the holidays. We are excited to get things going but it is stressful at the same time with a lot of unknown. I am still unsure how I feel about moving to California, I don't think it has honestly sank in that we are moving, I am just in denial, but it is coming.


I guess that pretty much brings everything up-to-date... I will try to be better about updating as we go... If you are in Texas or New Mexico and would like to see us along our road trip adventure let us know!!!
