WOW....four months until Larry's graduation from the Air Force Institute of Technology. Four months until we're OFFICIALLY moving to our new house. Four months.... This is insane and exciting all at once!
I thought I was done...
I really feel fine and okay about Tommy's arrival 11 1/2 weeks early almost 2 years ago...so I thought!
I had a blast shopping this morning! Black Friday...fun, fun :) I was standing in line at Toys R Us just before 5am chatting (imagine THAT) with the gal behind me. She mentioned being pregnant....6 months along....we'd already talked about our kids and how she was hoping to get a train table for her 3 yr old and how we are hoping Santa brings Tommy one... I had mentioned Tommy's birthday being Christmas, but don't recall telling her the NICU part.
All of a sudden the "6 months pregnant" clicked and I had to ask when her actual due date was. It is March 14th.
I haven't had a breakdown in a long, long time...mourning the third trimester that I missed out on. It was extremely hard at first especially while Tommy was in the NICU to see "extremely pregnant" women. Anyhow, I felt like such a baby, my eyes teared up and the emotions flooded back like it was just last month! Absolutely CRAZY... Yes, Tommy was due on March 14th too.
Here is us two years ago...Nov 26, 2006. The exact time I realized I was swelling a lot...and to think one month later the baby would arrive.
Seriously, I bought this airborne Santa for $5 a few MONTHS ago at the base Thrift Store. It was a donation to the Thrift Store and not returnable and not guaranteed to even FUNCTION properly, as regular consigned things are returnable if they don't function... I found it with another two blow-up displays since they weren't returnable I wasn't willing to "gamble" ten or fifteen bucks, I thought risking five was acceptable. Larry thought I was nuts and it'd never work properly...to tell you the truth, I was nervous too. BOY, if you could have seen my face. It was the coolest to walk to the door and see this going strong. Snoopy joined our family a year or two ago, so now he has a partner in the sky! Yes, Larry made them fly in formation...would you expect anything less?
A few random November shots....
Hot-diggity...I can unzip things too! He opened the bottle of pepto tablets earlier today... I found a LIGHT BULB in his CRIB for the second time tonight. Yes, Mom didn't move the lamp far enough away from the bed or possibly somebody else moved it back, either way, the kid unscrewed the light bulb AGAIN. Can you say PISTOL!!! This is from a few mornings ago, I found him unzipped in his crib. P.S. Thanks Wendy...he loves his blanket sleepers and especially loves this one- he can unzip it and it has airplanes :)
ADORABLE...isn't she adorable??
Kimberlyn waiting on the parade welcoming Santa in last week. They had a high school marching band, a horse drawn buggy with a family and another horse drawn buggy with SANTA....THAT WAS THE PARADE...P-L-E-A-S-E we waited 30+ minutes in 30-degree weather and FROZE for the shortest parade EVER. They did surprise us with fireworks before Santa lit the huge tree...we finished the evening up with Krispy Kreme :)
Don't miss the updated posts below...Thanksgiving Day picture of Betty... And also Kaitlyn's blue thumb....really it IS BLUE now :)
