Army News

so Micah had drill this weekend and they gave more updated information about his units deployment. it's both exciting and scary. Good news they won't be gone for 18 months instead they are gone for 12! very happy about this! and he won't be leaving until october instead of september which gives me another month with him before and 6 more months afterward. so thats awesome.
he found out where he'll be and what he'll be doing. he'll be in northern iraq and is going to be the line medic on convoys which is kind of scary because the trucks are one of the more dangerous jobs because of IED's and stuff. and i guess northern iraq is kind of a hot spot at the moment. maybe it will settle down in the coming months but still scary to know. pray now for protection of him and his unit awhile they are over, i earlt start won't hurt a thing.
some more good news Micah got promoted back to E3 which is great. a little pay increase and higher ranking is always nice. plus they said he will most likely make E4 before they are deployed also good news. so thats what he has told me for now we'll see what new things will happen in the months to come. love you guys

busy day!

Well i've been keeping busy... i'm thinking about how i want to convert the guest room to accommodate a crib and such for when the baby because we most likely will stay in our place at which we are now. so i cleaned our room and rearranged so last week i rearranged the guest room with a little more today and i used my sewing machine for the first time today made a band that can go over pre pregnancy pants that i can't zip all the way. it's been fun but frustrating.



Guest Bedroom before was kinda used for storage and get stuff out of the way. we've never had people visit us so never had a reason to use it.


Guest Bedroom after rearraged and cleaned. beautiful! i'm trying to figure out what to do with my lounge i made a couple years back because i have to put the crib there! ha


i don't have a before picture but this is rearanged and cleaned as well i think it looks nice.


another view of our bedroom! ha

my belly and the band i made it's nice!

Ultrasound

So i had my appointment yesterday and everything went well. but that is all overshadowed because we are going to be having another ultrasound next month to find out the sex of the baby! i'm very excited. next appt i will be 24 weeks along. right now i'm 20 weeks exactly half way through the 40weeks it's going so fast! the apointment is at the 7th at 3:30. it was hard scheduling this one to fit with both micah and my schedule but it worked out. we have alot going on this next month and the news will make it just even more exciting and busy, we don't really have anything for the baby so along with drill our anniversary, a wedding a bridal shower and us trying to celebrate we'll have to try and fit in deciding everything we'll have to do to get our place ready, clean and decorated. fun stuff is coming our way!

Sharing is Caring!

Well yesterday was the first day i realized other people could also feel the baby's movement so micah finally got to feel his baby!... He probably could've felt it before but i didn't know it cuz everything is new to me so i didn't know the movement was strong enough (i'm still learning this okay)i get to share the little guy(gurl) now lol... Also yesterday i bought my first ever pair of maternity pants! They are very comfortable but were expensive! I'm going to try and find some cheaper ones for my next pair or might even be as courageous as to try and SEW SOME GASP! So here is a pic of the bump and kinda the pants, you can't see them the best but make due i was doing it myself haha





ps. i lied in my last blog! didn't mean to... appointment is the 11th not the 18th oops hopefully this next time they will tell me when the ultrasound is and when we find out it's sex! i hope but i'm learning to be patient. well sort of... ha
