I have not seen or talked to a lot of you in a while. My life has been crazy here lately and I have not been able to talk about it. With a better idea of our plans, I am leaving Washington with my family to go to Kentucky. I don't have much time. I am here for the holidays and fly out about a week after my birthday, which is the 1st week of Jan. We have decided it would be better for me to go ahead and fly there instead of traveling across the country given the problems with my pregnancy I have had. My family will follow within two weeks. I have had the stress of knowing I am leaving but not knowing when weighing on me for a while. As most of you know, my best friend and I are due about the same time. Her and I will now have to be new mommies miles and miles away from each other. Many of you close to me here will not get to come see me in the hospital when my baby arrives. Even with the amazing amount of support from my family, my pregnancy has really gotten lonely from time to time. I am more emotional now than I was in the first few months. Even after 4 1/2 years, I am incredibly crazy about the father. With the situation at hand and the lacking reality that we are having a baby, I have more less had to do this on my own. The more I get closer to my due date and the more I watch my belly grow, the more I feel unprepared. I have never been more excited and scared at the same time. I know I need to prepare myself for the single mommy lifestyle, I just keep putting it to the back of my head. Just make sure you don't take things for granted. Re-evaluate your life and look at what you have rather than what you want. Draw the line between what you want and what you need. Looking at our time frame, Christmas is going to be small. I still plan to have a baby shower and probably combine a "goodbye" party or something, that way I can see some of you for the last time. I have been in WA for 7 years now. I am an army brat and have moved a lot in my life, but this one will be the hardest. I hope to see all of you before I go. *****************Big baby boy on the way! We spent an hour looking at my little blessing. He moved around a lot and made the doc chase him around my tummy :) This is one healthy looking baby! His stomach is bigger than his head. Finally, at the end of the appt, she says, ok! Let see if we can find out the sex. 2 seconds, and I mean 2 seconds later, she says, OH! It's a boy! If you look at my pictures, you will see why she said that so quickly. I am so happy! I have an amazing amount of support from family and friends! I am so lucky to have my best friend going through the same thing! Congrats to Kayla! She is having a girl! She is a week and a half behind me. It's good to see who has stuck around and been true friends to me. It means a lot!I fully support our troops and yeah, I voted for BUSH.
