33 1/2 weeks along

Well I thought it was time to post an updated pic of me and this baby belly of mine...OF course it's a bathroom shot but what can you do when your child is at school and hubby is away in another town. LOL

I have a doctor appt tomorrow so I will hope to have more in on what I can do with this pain. It's really bad but I have so much to do and take care of Taylor so makes it more difficult. They can give me painkillers but it's not doing a thing for me and I don't want it to effect the baby. So I opted not to take any and just take the pain.

Taylor is doing great in school but is upset they have not given homework yet...LOL

First day of school

Today was soooo emotional. Taylor started kindergarten and boy let me tell you it was really hard to leave her. We both did very well till it was time to say good-bye, even then Taylor was braver and better than me.I had to keep turning my head to wipe my tears away all the while trying to do it where she wouldn't see me. :-) Then when it came time for the parents to leave, Taylor got teary eyed which made my tears surface again. lol I went to give her another hug and kiss and she says "Mommy who will take care of you and help you while I am at school". I LOSE IT THEN! I could not see anything and I had created a puddle of tears on the sidewalk. Talk about not being able to hold it in. That was the toughest!

She is such a big helper and has such a HUGE heart and lately with my condition has been soooooooooooo into making sure I am okay. Mark told her to be a big helper while he was gone and help me well she took that job very serious and everyday before we got to sleep asks me "Mommy I was a big helper today huh, daddy will be proud I made sheep choices huh". Of course we are sooooooooo PROUD of her. She brings so much joy to our lives and so much more to my heart!!!

Long story short I counted down the clock and always checked it. She was so excited when I seen her that she LOVES school and LOVES her teacher. She said she was tired and just wanted to relax. (yes in those words) Too funny!!

My little girl is growing up and all very fast. I definity have treasured her at every age and look forward to many more "new" events in her life...and building many more memories to share in the future.

Sooo sad

I am so sad Mark left today for his Chief training. It was so hard to have him leave, I am so vulunerable and scared with the complications I'm having and not having him close by is nerve wracking...Grrrrrrrrr! Hormones of course is cry cry cry!!!

Taylor had a hard time saying good bye too especially how close they have become in the last year. She is definity daddy's lil girl...Mark got teary eyed in saying good-bye to her...so tough!! She was excited though knowing she can sleep with me while he is gone...ha ha ha

She starts school next week so this week will be early to bed which she is not too happy about..lol

Well today marks 8 months along...so we are really near the end rounding the corner...scary but exciting at the same time..I have been in so much pain I soooooooooooooooo WANT A BODY RUB!!! If they weren't so dang expensive I would be there every day..ha ha ha

Okay I just want to be on the pitty potty bus of my husband leaving today and think tomorrow I will be going out to buy THE HOST and read that..help me take my mind off missing him and since bedrest is killing me that will give me a good take my mind off that as well.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday...Sorry not soo exciting...

Joys of Pregnancy

Well this weekend I will officially be 8 months. I'm excited, anixous and miserable. Excited cause it's getting closer to delievery this baby who seems to want to come RIGHT now! Anixous cause I want to see what he looks like and just have him in my arms to hug and kiss. Miserable cause I feel like when I walk he is going to stick a part of him out and say HI MOM...he is so low and the pelvic pain is crazy. I have heartburn like there is no tomorrow. Taylor is my maylox girl of going back and forth to where ever my bottle of it is to rush to me. She's such a great helper!!!

Taylors nightly prayers have been "Please let my brother not hurt mommy anymore" which is sweet she is so concerned for me, but I have to tell her it's not is fault he is just growing so fast and it's almost time for him to come. She seems to understand that, I told Mark I didn't want her to resent her brother. lol

Mark leaves this Sunday for 30 days for some more Chief training. I'm scared, nervous and totally going to be counting down the days till I see him again. He has been so sweet in taking care of me when he is home,and I know he has alot on his mind in going away. I have a great ward family who are stepping in already to help out. So I think we will be fine.

Oh I bought the 4th book Breaking Dawn in the Twilight series saturday afternoon and already finished it by late Sunday evening. It was GREAT! I think I liked it a lot better than the other 3 books. I don't know if it's cause I am so hormonal but I was able to relate better to her and feel the emotions more. I heard there was another book in the making for the Twilight series but through the eyes and feelings of Edward. I think that would be great to read too. I can't wait to see the movie and see how it compares to the books. I heard and seen a lot about the HOST and always put it down thinking it wouldn't be any good but I have heard different so I think since I am having to be laid up I could read it and see for myself.

Well I thought I needed to update this and I was getting tired of laying down and sitting so I jumped on here for a few mins. I will try to update as often as I can...it might not be very exciting cause there is really nothing fun or exciting about bedrest...lol I will try. Tonight our ward is throwing me and two other gals a baby shower so that will be fun..I have been resting a lot the last couple days so I can feel up to going tonight and interact..OH YES I need adult interaction...and different scenery. :-)

Being MIA update

Well, a lot has happened since I last blogged and since I am not any good about remembering anything since being preggers I am not going to battle my brain and try...I will go to what I do remember which is pretty recent...LOL I will also posted some random pics for this month I took..

Okay well since Mark made Chief life here in the Humpherys home has been crazy, stressful and just plain nuts...He works crazy hours, goes in way early and comes home sooo late and even when he is home he still has work to do that keeps him up till wee hours of the morning. I feel so bad for him, and upset cause we don't really get to interact with him. There is a possiblity he will be gone for the whole month of AUG and maybe part of Sept for training and an even more possiblity of him not being here for the birth of the baby...which has made me soooo sad and scared since none of my family is here or near...and the doctor is making me wait till my water breaks and since my sisters and mom work no one can really just plan a date to come if we have no idea when he will come... MArk is trying his best to juggle it all, and poor him is married to a hormonal pregger wife who cries at the drop of a dime when he jokes with me. LOL I Know I KNOW a total cry baby!!! These 2 months are soooooooooo crazy till he gets pinned in Sept.

Being it's the end of my pregnancy does not make it any better either, and on top of all this no family or close friends near makes it even tougher. I went to the doctor's yesterday for my 7 month check up and leave there sad and mad...cause I am put on modified bedrest cause of the severe pain of him being so low and causing me to have a hard time to walk and move...and with my heart condition that has sort of started to act up they are keeping an even closer eye on me...so REST is the perscription from the doctor. The irritating part is I have so much to do to finish preparing for the baby to come that I can't ask Mark cause he isn't home enough...so I am left feeling alone and sad....

Yes, I can ask my ward family and I am sure sisters will pitch in but nothing feels the same then having your husband, or your own family to be around to see your vulunerable side and let your guard down. Pride is probably my problem!

So here is my pitty potty story and why I have been MIA....due to pain, having to rest and have feet up and not sleeping very well at night makes getting on here to update as often as I want...

I will post random pics I took this month....Taylor is doing great...bored of her mom but doing good... :-) She starts school AUg 18th...I am so sad and happy at once...will be hard doing it on my own without mark here but we will manage..

Oh yeah...we got our orders for San Diego as our next duty station. We will more than likely move there this coming DEC...Sooo excited and nervous...but I will be closer to my family...YEA!!!

Okay I have an error on the page and it will not let me post anymore...will have to see if Mark can fix it for me. I will post more later... This was Tater on our way to our ward 4th of july pancake breakfast..

~Mark made Chief~

MARK MADE CHIEF SELECTION!!! We are so excited and happy for him...this has been something he has worked so hard for and it has paid off. He is in the selection process, even though he is now a Chief he doesn't get the title till his pinning ceremony in September. That's when I will pin his anchors on his collar. I am so excited!!!

Now till September will be busy and stressful for him, they will be putting him through extensive training till then. He may be leaving to a ship during this time so he gets the full feel and surroundings of NAVY 24/7. So we will hardly see him for the next couple months. His staff at work have been so sweet and nice and have all mentioned to him that if I need anything to let them know...they said they would run my midnight cravings. ha ha ha Too sweet! I told Mark I was happy we are so involved with our home ward to have their support as well. I grew up Navy and my mom was a great example of independence and getting things done on her own. I am pretty independent myself...it will be hard not to see Mark as often as I would like...but I support him and happy for him.

So this is our great news....I am so proud of Mark and his accomplishments he is going to be a great asset as a Chief. I am honored to be his wife and happy to support him through this time.
