Well we got all settled into our new place this last weekend. Had a lot of help from some of our close friends and I couldn't have done it with out them! I just don't have the energy I used to, especially with the recent health issues. But I still managed to get it all done, unpacked with in about 2-3 days and pictures put up a day later! I had to make it all homey before hubby leaves and of course having a baby that gets into everything you can't exactly have stuff just a mess and laying around lol
It's so nice to be back in this area. We were just so much happier and it is just so much more calming and less stressful. I wish we had never moved to begin with. We thought we should take advantage of the bigger place and that we wanted to be back on post but boy was that a waiste. We didn't use the extra space and the block was just a nightmare! If I had known we were not only going to be unhappy and move but to turn around and move right back to where we were .. I would've never bothered.

The kids are happier to be back in this area and excited about going to their new school. it's kind of in the country and a really big school. I heard good things about it so I hope we like it!

We got family pictures done on Sunday! I am so excited and can't wait to see them! We got a preview of a few of them and what's to come! It looks like she got some great pictures with where she took them. Though it just motivated me more to want to loose weight. I look so very pregnant still and it's depressing.. which brings me to my appointment today with the specialist. I seem to be doing a lot better so I will hopefully start loosing some weight since I can start exercising more. Over all things looked to slowly be getting better and coming together. They think I have rebound tachycardia and maybe some acid reflux which can be caused by the surgery. Not really concerned since it seems to be tapering off and my blood pressure was a little on the high side but not alarming either. So we did blood draws and go from there. Need to see my primary dr to see if they want to look further into my heart problems though.

I can't believe deployment is approaching so quickly. It's starting to get to me and I'm just numb. I'm not sure rather to be depressed, sad, what.. with some of the problems we've had it scares me too.

Hopefully it will go by fast.
