John is gone for another 2 weeks, and will be home on June 15th. The ship will be moving back up here, so he will be on a regular schedule again and we can once again be a family. He even gets to go with me to our next prenatal appointment. This weekend was so refreshing for all of us. Sometimes when I hear about friend's difficulties in their marital relationships, (the non-military ones) I wonder how much their marriage might improve with a simple underway like this to make them truly miss and value each other. And not like a little vacation/separation, but something mandatory where they can't always contact each other. It makes you really grateful for what you have. Makes you behave like you did when you were dating before--excitement over emails/letters written etc. We have been so fortunate to have spent all our marriage together, without deployments, so I can't even say I truly know how it feels to be separated for a full deployment, much less, one in a dangerous area. But these 2 weeks apart really reignite everything we feel for each other. Having Lucas to love and take care of has bonded us in yet another way, and I can't wait for us to get to know the new one--girl or boy! John if you're reading this, I love you and appreciate you so much. And to answer your question, everyone keeps telling me how much Lucas looks like his daddy!

He's eating his feeeeeeeeeet aaaaaaaaaaaaah how adorable! <3
He is so cute. When I watch the video I'm curious about the paintings on the wall. Is that a painted portrait of Lucas? Keep up the changes John. Your such a good Daddy.
yeah, kinda gross lol. But thats how he was in the womb, with his feet all the way over his head in the 20 week ultrasound. Iris, I can't wait to go to my 20 wk appt and see if it's a little girl or boy!
hey brianners- those aren't paintings actually they are photos i took of lucas and edited. he liked to look at himself so I got some 5x8's of him and put them up there for him to look at while he's wiped lol. He doesn't care about them anymore, i guess i should periodically switch them out huh? I did want to paint or put up a mural in lucas' room, we still might. there are just so many expenses we need right now...a fence, a family car, a trip home. But we are saving a lot of money and paid off a lot of debt so we might get to do some extraneous fun stuff too.
After watching this video, I went home curious if Eddie could reach his toes to his face and NOPE he can't! LOL! He thought it was really funny that I was trying though :D I can't wait for you to find out what you are having :) I haven't seen any blogs about how you are doing with this pregnancy.
his toe eating talent is very recent. i am 8 weeks today, and feeling nauseous and tired, peeing a lot already. I have about 4 weeks left of taking progesterone. My next appt is on the 24th, and john should get to go. I am anxious to get to the 20 wk mark already and see the baby girl or boy. We picked out a boys name that we both like--Julian. Not sure about girls yet, since lucy is close to lucas. we'll see. I have just been trying to get through these weeks and be with Johnny again. :)
lucas has been laughing out loud at things lately. He likes this veggietales character, and he laughed when i was singing "hush little baby ....mama's gonna buy you a..." i guess because it went on and on lol. He also laughs at me when I have a sneeze attack and say "sneezy!"
