The field, Barracks duty and Ultrasounds! What a wonderful week! HA..

First off, I would like to thank Mother Nature for giving us this absolutely BEAUTIFUL day today. It is about 10:00am, and in the 60's. I really want to go somewhere, do something... but at the moment I have no means of transportation, oh well.

We still havn't heard anything on Haiti, but we have heard that Eric's deployment to Afghanistan was moved up to December of this year, oh joy! Supposedly his higher-ups have a meeting sometime this week to discuss Haiti.

I have my first ultrasound this Friday! Yay! I am 8 weeks and 5 days along as of today. I can't wait! Eric and I have picked out baby names! Girl: Alexis Grace and Boy: Abel John. We are both really excited!

Well, I'm going to get off here. The pups are whining to go outside, and frankly so am I. It's beautiful out! See ya!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I created this blog ages ago, and I am just getting around to actually using it!

Eric and I woke up this morning with 5 inches of snow, EVERYWHERE! Neither of us were thrilled, to say the least. We both used to live in Missouri, so we're quite accostumed to the snow, but that doesn't mean we like it! After shoveling snow off the truck, we trudged our way to Ihop. That place was an absolute mad-house. Not only were there tens of thousands of people there, but apparently they were short-staffed. According to our waiter, everyone had called off work because of the terrifying white powder stuff on the road. Come one people, it's snow! It's not that scary!

Anywho, an update on our current life... Eric will most likely be going to Haiti sometime in the first week of March. If he goes, he will be gone for 60-90 days. He has two work ups coming up as well, each a month long. One in July, and one in November. He also has a deployment to Afghanistan scheduled for January of 2011. Needless to say, we both have our hands full for the next year or so. Also, as you all may know... we are expecting a baby! :) According to the conception date and hormone levels, I am 7 weeks and 3 days along now. I have an ultrasound on February 26th, so we will know more then. Pregnancy is kicking my butt, that's for sure! I'm showing, but only a little. I have morning sickness like no other, and I'm constantly tired. It seems a trip to the store, or up and down the stairs for that matter, completely exhausts me. But it's okay, it's all worth it in the end!

Well, I'm going to sign off for now and watch "The Corpse Bride" with Eric. Fair-thee-well!
