6 Months...Not Really

So I was at work last night...&& I realized that Alex && I won't really have six months to spend with each other before he deploys. In all actuality, we will have about 3 1/2 to 4 months to spend together. I took out all of his field training, WLC, JRTC, his work schedule, my work schedule and my school schedule. It pretty much sucks. This year is going to suck. Everyone is hoping for this year to bring on new things for them. I just want it to come && go. I hate to say this, but I agree with Alex when he says "I just want this deployment to hurry up and get here so I can get it over with." I worried so much about him when he was deployed last && we weren't even together. Now that I am his wife I'm sure I will be a nervous wreck.

Everyone is telling me to do things to keep myself busy so I don't think about it. None of them have been through this. Believe me, I have a job that gives me enough hours to keep me busy && on days off I will have school to keep me occupied. I just don't want to sit in an empty apartment after 5pm. Especially knowing that Alex SHOULD be home, but he won't be. Preparing dinner for one && not two. =[

Alex && I talk about things that are going to be done while he is deployed..what he is going to still pay for while he is overseas && what I am going to pay with my income while he is gone. We talk about how much money we will have saved when he comes back && are setting up plans with what we are going to do with all of it.

What do you do when you know your other half is going to be leaving soon?

Hey Jealousy....

You decided to ween your way back into my life again. I thought I was rid of you, but turns out I'm not. There is nothing I can do to make me stop being jealous of this girl. She's over there with my husband and has been for the past six months. She gets to see him pretty much every day. Now she wants to post pictures on facebook with him. It's like a slap in the face. She knows I can't stand her ass, and given the history of him and her I'm sure she's thinking that the past is going to repeat itself. She can think that all she wants, but I'm not like his ex. I will put up a fight. That is all I guess.

36 Weeks Pregnant!

Yes, I am! After six years, Alex and I were finally blessed with a little one. A little boy to be exact. We found out 4 days before Christmas 2015, and told our parents that night. It was their Christmas present. First Ultrasound was at 10 weeks. His heartbeat was 157 bpm and as much as I wanted a girl, I knew from the moment I saw the ultrasound he was a boy. Two weeks later...we let Lucky make the announcement to the world. After, the world knew..Alex and I made a trip to Michigan for the last time until the big move back in May. Once back in Kansas, Alex left for 7 weeks to recruiting school. When he left I was 14 weeks...when he came back I was 22 weeks. It was a huge difference. The nice thing about Alex coming home, besides the fact that I missed him terribly, was that that was the same week we would find out if we were Team Pink or Team Blue. The day of our 22 week ultrasound, I had to drink 1 Liter of water within a half hour 1 1/2 hours before my appointme
