Restless

I'm awake again having to pee and pop some tums. I just thought I would get online and check on Josh's flight. Status: in flight... that's right... he is in the sky on his way home at this very moment. He will be officially in the states at around 1 our time. He will finally be HERE at around 9:30pm... if there are no delays. I don't know how the Detroit airport is. Neither one of us has ever flown through there so it's anyones' guess. It's going to be a less stressful trip than it would have been before. We get 5 extra days and we don't have to do all kinds of errands to get ready for anything. When we need to know what's going on, we'll know. Until that day comes we'll enjoy each others company :)

I can't wait to get a picture of all of us! My Dad takes great photos (and my mom isn't too bad either). I would love to get one of the 4 of us, you know, if the baby eventually decides to be born hahaha. It would be a big family shot and a baby shot for the announcements. Yay!

My plans for today are to clean random things in order to make time fly. Last night I cleaned the couch and recliner. Today I am going to shampoo the living room carpet. It's covered in applesauce, chocolate milk, popsicles, and other dirt. Hopefully this new cleaner works better than what I used last time! I want the carpet to be clean enough that I can lay a baby on a blanket down and not feel like I'm exposing the child to a million diseases. I hate dirt around babies.

Meaty will be leaving today before Josh gets home. He's a great dog, but I have enough to worry about. I couldn't imagine having him around while an infant was here. He and Noah are too crazy together... mostly it's NOAH who is the biggest problem. All I do is yell at him to stop hitting the dog, pushing the dog, yelling at the dog, trying to ride the dog, taking the dog's toys, locking the dog in it's cage. They both love each other and love that kind of play, but Mommy is TOO NERVOUS! This was the plan all along so no one is shocked. We got him a big BBQ bone for a goodbye present. I'm not sure, but I think it may be gone already... though I bet if I look behind the couch I'll find it. Noah takes all his bones and throws them behind the couch to tease him. He's such a brat.

I guess I should try and go back to sleep for a little bit.

Wow,I can't believe he is almost home.How fun!

I shampooed our carpet before Ember arrived too.It just seems like the thing to do :)I cleaned everything but I didn't go crazy like I did before having Ava.You don't worry quite as much with your second I think.At least I don't.

It is VERY nice with nursing to not worry so much this time around.I don't watch the clock while nursing like I did with Ava.I just look at around what time I start & then figure 2-3 hours later she'll be hungry again.
I hope the next few weeks for you are lot's of fun!!The newborn stage goes by wayyy to fast :)

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
