Unwanted

I have had some unwanted visitors on my page. So, since people cannot mind their own business I guess I have no choice but to make my blog private.

If you would like to continue to have access to my page (and why wouldn't you, because I'm freaking hilarious) please send me your email address.

Thank you and have a good day....except you (and you know who you are), I hate you and you need to go away!

100

Questions:

How does it feel having her home?
Amazing! Having to visit your daughter in the hospital blows. I feel more like a Mom now. It's great.

Do you get overwhelmed taking care of her on your own?
Not yet. Hilary has been helping. I am just tired. REALLY tired. I think if I were working I would be a lot more stressed.

How did you two decide when to have children or is Hannah just a surprise blessing?
I got pregnant in 2007 (not really by accident, but not really on purpose either). We lost that baby, and then decided that we really wanted one. So we "tried" for almost a year and then conceived her right before he left for deployment. She is a blessing that happened on purpose. : )

What is one thing you like about deployment (yes I know that may sound strange...)?
I guess I would have to say that the best benefit is the money. We paid off a lot of debt this year, if we hadn't done that I wouldn't be able to be a stay-at-home-mommy.

If you could be on a reality show, which would it be and why?
The Simple Life. Those girls look like they had fun.

What would you do if Coach didn't exist? Cry? :( that would be a sad, sad day.
Yes, it would. I would probably have some other favorite type of bag. Maybe Louis Vuitton.

Other than a trophy-wife, (lol) if you could be anything, what would you be and why?
Probably a model. Not that I am anywhere nearly as thin as they are. But I guess if we are dreaming, I would have a perfect body and eat the perfect diet and get some boobs, so then I could be one. I'm not sure why, I just always wanted to do that.

What was your favorite part of the navy?
The respect. When you tell people that you are an active duty female, they treat you differently. And I know Aaron was always proud of me for doing it. I miss that.

What's the best job you've ever had?
Not the type that pays in cash. Army wife and mom. Defiantly the most rewarding.

What was your favorite part of growing up in Franklin?
Being able to leave and not looking back. Lol. Probably starting kindergarten with the same people we graduated with, not many people can say that. What was yours?

What was the best part of high school?
Co-op. And us eating lunch at Wendy's/Sonic/McDonald's. That was my favorite. Funny that those are still the same places we eat lunch.

Finally!

Hannah came home yesterday!

I now get to enjoy being a sleep-deprived Mommy. Someone once told me that the last good nigh of sleep I got was the night I conceived, I think they were right! I stayed over night with her last night so the nurses could make sure that I am capable of caring for her. I got one hour of sleep, literally. I'm so worried about her reflux and breathing. Maybe tonight I will be able to relax a little more. I hope, anyway!

Lucky

I just need to brag a little. I have a beautiful baby girl, who I was blessed to meet two months earlier than expected, wonderful friends who support me and love me to no end, and a husband who loves and adores me even more with each passing day. My life is more complete than ever before, and I couldn't ask for anything more from life right now.

Running

So, as some of you may know because you follow Hilary's blog we have been doing the program "From couch to 5K." Today is day 5 for us. We both bought new running shoes and are dedicated to it because we want to run the Turkey Trot at Ft Carson in November. I am determined to get my pre-pregnancy body back and secretly I want to be able to out run my husband when he gets back from deployment. He is always giving me a hard time for not being able to "PT" like I did when I was in the Navy. I am a very competitive person, and just wanting to be better than him is enough motivation for me!

Hilary said...

"Pssssh, mother-fuckin brrrrrr man!"

Hahaha, it was so funny! And she was right because it snowed and is like 20 degrees outside. It went from summer to winter and completely missed fall! Boooo fall is my favorite season!

Time to break out the scarf and gloves.

Laundry

Yesterday Hilary and I did laundry. It consisted of tee shirts, hoodies, and sweat pants. We don't care if we look good these days, because frankly we don't have anyone to look good for. And we like to be comfortable. End of story.

Get you own stuff

My husband has this habit of "borrowing" my stuff. I thought the definition of "borrowing" was to ask to use someones belongings and then return them in a reasonable amount of time. His definition of borrowing is taking my stuff and doing whatever he pleases with it. Sometimes I get it back, sometimes I don't. It's really more like stealing if you ask me.

One good example is my IPOD. Before he got his own he would take mine when he went to the gym or for a run, so therefore he would sync it with his songs (we don't like the same type of music). He renamed my IPOD Billinz Shit. Okay that's all fine and good, except that I don't know how to change it, and it isn't his shit, it's mine.

Anyway, he eventually got his own IPOD. Some how or another the dog got ahold of the cord you use to charge and upload it. She chewed up the corner, but it still works most of the time. When he left for deployment he somehow managed to get my cord and leave me with the jacked up one. Um, excuse me, I didn't leave mine out to get chewed on!

So my point is, quit "borrowing" my stuff cause when I want to use it I can't ever find it!

My Baby Girl

Is growing so fast! She is already five weeks old and weighs five pounds, one ounce. I can't believe how fast time is already going. I'm sure the next 17 years and 11 months will fly by too.

Still no word on when she gets to leave the hospital, but I hope it's soon. I can't wait to have her home.

Here are some new pictures of Hannah that Hilary took with her new camera.
