Hello again...

It's been a long time since my last post and I was chided by a good friend of mine. So I decided to start blogging a little more consistently. Since my last blog my life has changed quite a bit. So this blog is dedicated to catching up.

Several months after my last post Josh and I decided we wanted to try and have another baby...but not yet. We debated when the best time would be, how far apart the children should be, and of course we had to factor in our upcoming move through the Army (or in military terms, PCS). Finally, in February '08 we decided to try in March. Funny thing was that I was already pregnant. My good friend, Steph, (same one who is making me blog again) informed me I was pregnant. I had been complaining of complete fatigue and flu like symptoms. Josh had been in the field for 2 weeks a week and a half before this conversation. Steph has great baby radar. I decided that it was way to early too test even though she begged me to. I hate wasting money. So I waited 2-3 weeks and tested...sure enough I was pregnant. I waited a few more weeks before seeing the ob and he confirmed. Yes, Steph had figured out I was pregnant when I was less than 2 weeks along. Best part of all this? On the way back from training in the field (basically military speak for out in the middle of nowhere) Josh jokes with his fellow soldiers, "Gotta hurry! I wanna make a baby!"

Well, that May we were shipped to El Paso, TX. The hottest, dirtiest, most miserable place I have ever lived. But really, it's not so bad... especially since I'm not in my 3rd trimester in the heat of summer anymore. We're living in a nice cozy 3 bedroom house in a military community. I like my house other than the tiny kitchen. Oh, and yeah...I still haven't unpacked all my dishes, oops. The silver lining of moving here was that our good friends and neighbors in Germany were moving to El Paso at the same time. We would be able to celebrate our 4th Thanksgiving together.

Then in October I had my beautiful baby boy. I'll blog more about that experience later. And brings us pretty much up to date. Anything I've skipped really needs it's own post. So I guess I have a lot of blogging to do.
