My mother says "Genius", I say "Nightmare"

So my 'angel baby' has learned to climb. And pull herself up and stand against things. My mom says that she's a genius. I, however, live in fear of falls and head knocks. Both of which we have already experienced, at least three times a day. Oh, and no matter how often she crawls head first into anything, she expects it not to be there.
But she is so smart, too. She hears and understands when I say no. She stops nd looks at me. She crawls out of our bedroom if I leave the door open a little bit. It is so cute!
She'll crawl into our bathroom before I realize it and when I go to get her she crawls like crazy to get away from me, giggling like a loon. So adorable!

This was a draft I evidently never posted, so here it is. I have to go finish the other one.

It's a girl! Or it is until it's born.....

The ultrasound yesterday confirmed Dr. Suarez's assessment that the baby is a girl. She was extremely active the whole time. She directly kicked the doppler thingy several times and was moving constantly. After the first ultrasound with Faith, she barely moved much at all. She just happened to be in a good position to say she was a girl when they did the last ultrasound.
And I love my doctor this time around and will so be recommending her and coming back to her the next time around. Which I hope is like five years in the future this time, not 13 months.
I have two names in mind, but I have to hold on to them for a bit until Dustin decides what he thinks.
Thanks for being interested, y'all.

Angela ships out today. She leaves at 1900 hours and will arrive in Iraq around the same time tomorrow. She'll have a couple days to adjust and then I don't know exactly where she'll be but she'll be doing convoy security.
I am terrified and doing y best to leave it all to God. Which is a lot easier to say than to do.
Just wanted to say.

Another day, another thing goes wrong....

Dustin took today off to work on the steering on his truck. He got only so far and now he's stuck. Or was at two p.m. when he called home. I was hoping when he said he was taking off to do that, that it would all be so easy. Should have known it wouldn't be!
More later.
He fixed it! Then he came home for about thirty minutes and left again to go to class. Now he's home and we're about to go to bed. But hey, tomorrow, I have an appointment and we have grocery shopping to do and someone promised me he'd take me to Hobby Lobby!

Halloween 2008

So, it was Faith's first Halloween. I'm not much of a costume or Halloween kind of girl, but my baby girl will know how to have fun. And besides, her costume was too cute not to use it.

This was not her costume. This is her Halloween day outfit. It was so she could be cute all day. Plus, I just got a whole bunch of clothes and this onesie was part of it and you can't really wear something like that more than once.

These socks were in the dollar bins at Target. They were so cute. She wore them all day. Grandpa said she was the cutest pumpkin he'd ever seen. Of course, she's the cutest everything anyone has ever seen, so it's not too much of a stretch for her! LOL

She was a ladybug and just so cute.
