This time, however... they change for the better!
Eric was supposed to leave in October (to California) for 6 weeks. It's a pre-deployment training called Mojave Viper. His command found out about my C Section, and told him today that he is to stay home! I won't be able to lift anything or drive for 4 weeks prior to the surgery, so I was really wondering how I was going to make it through having a newborn, appointments, possible emergencies, etc. ALONE! Now, thanks to a wonderful Lt. Colonel who had vowed to be more family oriented, that weight has been lifted.
Normally, Mojave Viper is required to deploy, but in cases as such... they can make exceptions. As of now, they are unsure (still) if he's deploying or not. We find out the results of his MRI soon, and that is THE deciding factor.
Alexis will be here in one week! Yay! We are so excited, as is our family and friends. I can't wait to bring this little bundle of joy into the world and start my life-long journey as a mother.
Sorry that this is short, but I must get something done today! Lol. Keep us in your prayers!

YAY - this is great news! For now that at least means more time! I know that you are thrilled and relived! One more week??? WOW - I know that this week will pass slowly for you, but in the grand scheme of things it will fly! Hang on hun, because in one week, your life will be changed forever! Aside from all of the joy that being a mom brings, time will start to sly right before your very eyes! As you watch Alexis grow, you'll wonder where the time has gone! Treasure every moment, take a lot of pictures, and don't sweat the small stuff. My motto is always "this too shall pass." That's oh so true...everything is a phase...enjoy them all (even the hard ones)!!! Love to you all!
It may not seem like it for Eric (or it might, actually) but that bum knee of his turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Everything happens for a reason :) I am so beyond excited for all three of you. One, because of the family time you are going to have and two, because Miss Alexis is making her debut SO SOON! I can't wait to see that pretty little face! ily!
