♥ The End is Near - Deployment

But you are almost over!!

Okay so I have done my part since my last entry and actually not written at all. It has been crazy weird in a sense to not be thinking " OMG I HAVE TO WRITE IN MY DIARY" Now I just kinda do it when I have something to write about I suppose or feel the need to really update - such as now.

I am 28 weeks this week and thankfully looking back time has passed by pretty fast although when you are in the moment it seems much to slow. We are within a few days of the month mark til Joshua comes home and are hoping they give us the exact date by the fifteenth because it would make it so much easier to look forward to and plan for. The good thing is though they weren't expecting his replacements til like the first week in January and now they should be there either right before or like a day after Christmas which isn't a whole lot of difference but when you are waiting on your husband to come home and your life to start again it is a HUGE one. He has to be there the first week they are there til they get situated basically and then he can leave immediately after I am so excited to get to see him again, have him home so he can really be apart of all this baby mess before she gets here. I wish he had been here through the whole thing but I guess I can't complain, others have it much worse.

I went to the ER a few weeks ago because they thought I was leaking amniotic fluid. Turns out I wasn't and they had no idea what it was. They checked for a UTI, negative, but my test did come back as severely dehydrated. To me completely not true but I guess having a baby in my body is definitely something I have not experienced to this length before so who am I to know. I feel like I am drinking like a whale but I guess it is not enough. I also started having contractions that night while I was there a few actual contractions and then a bunch of braxton hicks. The likes of which haven't stopped since leaving. I get them a few times at least every few days, it is kinda odd and inconvenient but as long as we are both okay I won't ask questions. It just made me really kinda scared while I was in there, and the thought of going by myself Josh being gone made it even worse. I just keep crossing my fingers if anything is to happen or she so ever needs to be a stubborn butt and come way to early she at least waits til her daddy gets off the plane.

So I am starting to write my list of things to get or do before Josh comes home so I can divy them up by priority. Things I can do now, things to do a week before, things to do the night before. I had a crap ton of them on my mind since like the night he left trying to remember everything but a bad case of baby brain has forced me to resign from memorization haha. If anyone has any super ideas no matter how stupid you think they are please do say something. I am going to create a list and every bit or thought counts.
