Army wives

I guess the title comes with the job,that when your spouse is in the Military,expect them to be gone all the time.

When Sean and I first got married,he was just reserves in the military(army). Due to the lack of financial funds,me being pregnant and a crappy job at the time,he had to resort to going active duty. That meant he had to leave me( I knew it was going to happen and I accepted it) and go somewhere else to work. That is how we ended up in South Korea. When he left he was gone for 3 months,came home for the birth of Emma and then ended up leaving for 6 months,until I flew over to South Korea with Emma to live with him. Since then we haven't been apart for more then a week.

Now I don't know if it is just me or the pregnancy hormones,but I don't know how I am going to last without my Husband for the next 18 days while he is away for WLC training.

I am sure I am going to be ok,but just a little bored out of my mind,but I have Emma to keep me company.

Baby Dale's Bassinet

Last week when I was on post,I decided I wanted to visit the thrift storeto see what they had and lo and behold they had a "Winnie The Pooh" bassinet. When I saw it,I thought to myself,this is going to be perfect for my little boy. Since it was blue,why not get it. The price was something I couldn't pass up either and it included all the essentials. I ended up putting it on hold last week and this morning I went and purchased it.

Here are some pics for you to all see

Big Baby Boy!

Bigger or just closer?

As standard routine,I go into my Dr Office for a monthly check up to see how I am doing in my pregnancy,a basic ultrasound is all they do.

I went in on May 19th to see how the baby was. At the time I was 28 weeks exactly but when my Dr did the ultrasound,it had turned out to look as though I am 31 weeks instead! Everything on the baby measures 3 weeks bigger. Does that mean I am 3 weeks ahead of what I am supposed to be? I don't want another ultrasound messed up and having my child born early. But I am sure that with my Dr here nothing will go wrong.

He weighs about 3 lbs now and the Dr says he has a big head. He gets that from his dads side then :P.

I have slowly gotten my energy back. I am not that tired as a I used to be,but I still get worn down. I am able to do more stuff now,like clean my house instead of it going to the dumps. I just feel huge,this kid kicks me constantly. But I lOVE IT!

Fed up!

I hate when people think they are "Above the rules".

Sean and I have a problem with our neighbors lately not wanting to put their little dog on a leash when they take him out. Where we live,it is required to have your dog's on leashes at all times. Doesn't matter if they are big or if they are small,rules are rules and no one is above them. You never kmow if a dog will bite or attack you,regardless of size. Peoples safety can still be jeopardized.

My Husband told them kindly today to put it on a leash and the dad went off on him saying" He doesn't need a leash cause he is small" Bull crap!!!

I have nearly tripped over that dog several times because he wasn't on a leash like he was supposed to be and he ran around my feet and I am 6-1/2 months pregnant and I do not wanna fall.

I wasn't going to take that crap anymore. I reported them to the management office and housing office,so far they have taken care of the problem,cause the little mut is now on his leash.

Future Items

There are several things that I cannot wait for after this baby is born.


1-Being able to hold my baby! I hate being so anxious and ancy cause I want this kid out of me,I can't wait to hold my son and take care of a newborn again. I am just afraid Emma is going to feel left out.I love my Husband and children a lot and I wanna work to make it a goal that no one feels left out.

2-Breastfeeding. It was something that I was only able to do with Emma for 3 weeks and then it stopped,I tried everything to get my milk to come back.I felt like I had failed my daughter by not being able to feed her myself. Having to resort to formula was something I never wanted to do. It was the only choice I had. But she was ok,as long as she got fed,I was happy. I hope with Dale I can feed him from me and not a bottle. It has been a dream of mine to be able to breastfeed.I hope I can succeed for more then 3 weeks this time.


3-Getting back into shape a while after having Dale. I know it is not a good thing to start working out after you have a child,so that is why I am going to wait. As long as I eat healthy I should be able to have my body back to the way it was without the hard strain.Plus when not being huge with a big belly I can just go back to wearig normal clothes anyways. Maternity clothes are starting to drive me nuts!
