I guess I will start with a little update on everyone and we will go from there!
Kyle is doing great! He just returned home from a 6 week TDY but will be home for quit a while now! Hopefully until the baby is born but I'm not holding my breath! Well technically he was only TDY for 4 weeks and then he got to spend two weeks with his family! Which was really good for him! It had been over two years since he had seen them and he had a great time! When he got back he took his test for Staff, he thinks he did well, but we won't know how he did until around October! This is his third time testing and we are all feeling very hopeful! Both times he tested before he missed it by single digit points so hopefully this time will be a go!! **Fingers crossed**!
I ,Stephanie, am doing great as well. Finally moved past the morning sickness stage and am feeling much better! I am 14 weeks 4 days preggo and I am starting to show just a little but not enough for anyone to know I am preggo! Just enough to feel like a cow! LOL! Oh well, soon enough I will be huge and wish I was still tiny so I guess I should count my blessings and move on!! I have actually enjoyed this pregnancy a lot. I was really tired in the beginning but that just gave me a reason to take a nap with Ashlynn which has turned into quit the bonding time for mommy and Ashlynn. I haven't had the headaches like I had with Ashlynn either! Although something I didn't have with Ashlynn..."the fog". Sometimes I swear it is like I have lost my mind, I can't remember ANYTHING!! For example, the other day Kyle and I went to the Commissary to get some MILK and I was getting WIC. Well I got everything but the milk and bread and when I went to the milk there were a million people standing there so I decided to go get bread and come back for the milk. Well, after I got the bread , I proceeded to the checkout where I checked out completely and was handed my receipts before realizing that I hadn't gotten my milk! The only reason I was getting WIC was because we were out of milk!!! 8 free things of milk, just gone and then to make things worse I had to go out to the car and tell Kyle so I could get the card and go back in and BUY milk!! It was very embarrassing and when I checked out I actually started CRYING! I think the boy working the register thought I was nuts!!
Things like that happen to me pretty much daily! Well, I guess I can just count down the next six months until I get my mind back!
On to Ashlynn, Ashlynn is 2 1/2 now and she has this wonderful thing she has learned how to use called ATTITUDE!! She loves to yell and tell me no and now she tries to hit me too! We are getting better at that though! Now she mainly just yells and throws fits. She has also grown alot in not so annoying ways! She can get herself entirely dressed! I have to pick out the outfit but she can put it all on, even her shoes and 9 out of 10 times they are on the right feet! She still struggles with socks a little but its a good things it is summer time! Sandals!!! LOL! She has also become quite the artist. She LOVES to paint with water colors and to draw with chalk! We actually have a back porch now so she can draw with chalk all she wants!!! She likes to watch me crochet and thinks that she can do it too but it sure is cute to watch her try! She can also say just about anything! No more guessing!!! Which is really a huge relief for me! She is really big into puzzles right now as well. She is pretty good at them. She has one that is three bears and they have different faces and clothes and you match them together and dress the family and it is her absolute favorite right now! She hasn't put it down for like a week! She also likes to help with housework, which is nice when she is supervised, yesterday while I was getting dressed she decided to clean the coffee table with baby wipes and OATMEAL!!! with syrup...it was very messy and very hard to clean up! But she helped! And then once while I was in the bathroom she got the sunscreen from the laundry room, and swiffered my hallway with it! Also very messy and very hard to clean up! I didn't have the camera on hand so I didn't get a picture of either but next time I promise to have pictures!
Baby #2 doesn't do much but sleep but we had an ultrasound done at 10 weeks and everything looked great! He/she was perfect and had a very strong heartbeat. We should have our 20 week ultrasound towards the end of June and we will be able to find out what we are having! I want to stay surprised (even though I am pretty sure it is another girl) but Kyle isn't that patient! He just has to know! So I am sure we will be finding out! My mom wants to have a shower in the states for me and she wants to know, plus it would make registering easier!
Well, it is now time for The Young and the Restless so I am going to go and then I am pretty sure my hall could use another mopping! Hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful weekend!
