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.

well Peyton had her very late 6 month check up the other day at 7 and a half months. They were booked up when I called after my surgery.
She is doing well over all and is advanced developementally on some things. She is crawling, sitting, standing, starting to walk around things, starting to talk, eating finger foods.
However she did gain a little weight and is 12.5 lbs but since she was already so low and in the 5% her not gaining much put her below 5 % which may be nothing since mom and dad are both pretty small but something we have to watch to make sure especially given the circumstances of the problems I had during my pregnancy. So instead of going back at 12 months we have to start going in every month to get weight checks. She eats ALL the time though. She will eat 2 jars, 3-4 rice crips or teething cookies, some finger foods like peas, etc all in one sitting. He said as long as she progresses on her own pace not a worrie but we will watch to make sure that she doesn't fall anymore.
She was 26 inches and 10% for height.
Her left food is also turning in so we are hoping that is something that will correct over time like it did on Keagan and Brooklyn but it turns more then theirs did so we have to watch that as well.
But for the most part she did well and did well with her shots.
Well sadly we weren't able to make a visit back home with my surgery and still recovering and deployment nearing so close but thankfully Bryans family was able to make it this way for a little visit for a few days.
They came in town on Saturday and we spent a few days doing a couple of fun things from swimming at the pool at their hotel, chucky cheese, dinner and more.
The kids were really excited to have their Mimi and Pa here!
Now it's time to crack down on the packing and get ready for our move in a few days!
Well over the last few weeks we have had a lot of changes going on. We are finally getting out of housing and finally moving back to where we wanted to live and loved living before.
The boys have been asking to go back to school all summer and really miss it and I was on the fence because I really wanted to finish out a full year of homeschool for this next school year and then us decide but since my oldest one hasn't stopped asking and seemed a lot happier in school and with us moving they will be in a much much better school district and a lot more benifits like buses again (which helps if I get sick) and no uniforms! Yay! So we've decided to let them go back. So I got them all enrolled and set up and thankfully my youngest son didn't loose his IEP by being pulled out when he did and will just start that back up.
We have also decided we may need to put our youngest son back in ABA as he's developing quit the attitude lately and become very rude. The day I had surgery he just really got thrown off so I think with some of the events coming up he would benifit.
I'm back and forth on considering sending my daughter to a little prek for one or two days a week. Her birthday is late so she missed the deadline for school but is so ready to go and would really benifit from it but I'm just not sure I can do it just yet. We will see though.
tonight we had a family outting with movies in the park with our village. We had fun on a bounce house, got face painting, hot dogs and hamburgers, popcorn, nachos, snickers, skittles, glow sticks, all for free!
We watched Planet 51!
