My hubby's leaving me soon :(

I've known he was leaving for a little while but I still don't want to think about it. The date is coming up VERY soon and I'm really starting to realize all the things he will miss.  Our little Jax will be 19 months when he leaves and 27 months when he comes home.  Our bundle in my belly is 12 weeks now, he/she will be over 1 month old when he comes home.  I just can't imagine missing that much time...and I'm gonna miss him, but bundle won't even know him until he/she is over a month old, and I don't even want to think about how much Jax will cry missing his poppa :( 

I don't know how I'm going to handle this deployment, I just hope I can be strong for my babies.  I will not be sharing EXACT dates that he will be leaving the country or coming home for security purposes, but this will surely not be my last post about his absence.  I am asking everyone to pray for my sweet husband and his unit to get there, do their job, and come home safely.  If all goes as planned they will be the last American Soldiers in Iraq, thus ending this horrible war.  Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.

19 Months and 11 weeks!

I have been MIA from the blogging world for a few weeks now and here's why...We MOVED! yay! We moved across town into a 3 bedroom apartment w/garage to make room for the new addition to our little family.  Things have been pretty crazy since I can't lift anything or do much of anything because I am always sick :(.  But, we're almost settled in so I figured you might like an update :) 

Jaxson is going to be 19 months tomorrow! I cannot believe how fast he is growing and changing.  He still has trouble sleeping through the night but we're working on it...He is still drinking milk from a bottle, uggggggg...he is almost ready to start potty training (hates his diapers now and being wet)...he still isn't saying much but he makes lots of different sounds when you ask him ex. kitty, cow, duck, elephant, train, car, and Darth Vader! haha...he is starting to listen a little better and knows now to hold my hand if we go outside or around stairs...they're are so many things I love about my little man, too many to list!

The nugget in my belly is 11 weeks old now! I cannot wait to know if Jax will get a brother or a sister but I already have anxiety about delivery...I had a cesarean last time but my doc wants to try a VBAC this time around, I'm terrified!  I have had no pregnancy symptoms yet except for extreme nausea, headaches, and fatigue. I have lost 2 lbs in the past couple weeks b/c I have been too sick to eat as much as I normally do, but I am definitely showing now! I have a picture but unfortunately I won't be adding it today (I'll do a post later with the pics I have missed).

I'll be leaving you with a pic of my big baby who decided to rock himself to sleep in baby's swing today (Neil set it up already since he's leaving at the end of this month) He's such a sweetie :)
