Absence

Sorry that we've been way for a little while; a lot has been going on. Sawyer about a week ago had a checkup and to my great relief the doctors are finally agreeing with me and saying there is nothing wrong with her. her weight still isn't on the chart but she's following her own curve. it's just nice having this nagging feeling gone from the back of my head, trying to make me think maybe i am feeding her wrong or maybe she does have something wrong with her, worrying is not a fun game. her height is 25% so that is on the growth chart so she'll be a shortly like her mom :) nothing wrong with that though. so good news there.
and micah was offered a job and we've just been waiting on his background check so we're kinda just in limbo at the moment. we're keeping our fingers crossed there though.

Also on friday our car broke down my cute little car that i've had for years and never given me trouble :( it just makes me sad. it has been in the shop for several days. now i have no clue about cars but i was told the water pump broke which then broke the timing belt... and i'm also told that these things are both very important. :S the vehicle is supposed to get done this evening and we're hoping it's not too expensive especially with micah not starting a job yet, we're trying to trust God and not worry about finaces here but we need some help in not worrying sometimes. I'm sure it will all work out. We've been barrowing some vehicles from members of our church because our other ones don't have room for sawyer (legally lol) we thought it'd be a challege there but we've been blessed with the people wanting to help us out and offering their cars to us. very thankful we're taken care of there and that God has provided. Thank you Bilstein's and Wicker's there.

All our news seems to be tainted with good and bad, for Sunday was my birthday :) but we were sick ALL day so we were stuck inside on the couch on a very nice day, me cleaning up very dirty diapers and throw up off and on. the sickness only lasted a little over a day but has left me with excessive tiredness and a slight ill feeling lingering in my stomach that has yet to go away. I blame the pregnancy for squeezing and pressing my insides for that though lol. and though we were sick we did get to spend the whole day together just kind of lounging and had we not felt awful it would've been a very pleasant day.

Celebrate my Hunny!

We're still adjusting to being together but really everything has been going so great. I was worried the weeks prior to Micah's return and like all worrying it seems to have been a waste and all for nothing.

Though it is going very smoothly of course we have had some bumps, but even with those included it's felt just so great having micah home. both of us have some high running emotions, with my being pregnant and his stress from deployment, and we both have been so understanding. And for me just being able to watch Micah's love for sawyer


and just how much she seems to have grown to love him, it's like she's happier or more complete having him home, which is so true our lives are complete with micah home.


And we are happy that he gets to be home on his birthday and enjoy it! Micah we love you happy birthday... (one day early)

HOME!

Well Micah's finally home! friday night we picked him up at the national guard base, in lincoln where he flew in. It's so great him being home again. we've been busy seeing some people and relaxing around the house, watching sawyer. Here are a few pictures from the night we picked him up.

Almost!

The last couple of days have been spent in preparation because tonight Micah is finally going to be home! We'll pick hom up at 8:50 it's all an exciting mix of emotions bembarding me. If i wouldn't have taken time out of the day to just collect my thoughts they all would have gotten out of control. just so many things to think aout and a very many i shouldn't think about and God really helped me with it. Micah has been in the States since around monday sometime and has been in Fort Hood doing debreifings and classes and turning equipment in. Sawyer has been very entertaining this week, with enjoying all her new toys she's received on her birthday. she dances all the time when there is music on and plays the piano on her new car been a little spoiled this week but it's deserved :)
She been a great distraction from all the commotion and she heightens my excitment to soon be able to share her silly antics with her daddy


here i'm blowing some bubbles and casey's jumping and biting them while sawyer giggles at him
