Oh how I hate you...

No, not you. It's thing thing called exercises in the military. Anything in normal day to day life comes to a screeching halt, in my case at least. Paul's normal shift leads to him having the crappy 12 hour shift. 7pm-7am. The first time this was the case, I thought it would be *such* a good idea to just get on Paul's schedule...where I stay up all night and just go to bed with Paul when he gets home. That was not fun. It gets sooooooooo lonely staying up all night by myself with no one to talk to, nothing on tv besides infomercials, just bored out of my mind. I did get to spend time with Paul when he wasn't sleeping. That's the only good thing. So now I keep a somewhat normal schedule. Sleep at night, awake during the day. The only problem with this is I will never see Paul. So it's like I'm living the single life with my two dogs in my apartment. Not fun. Just another reason why I do not think this military life is for us. Life here at Barksdale AFB isn't great for Paul's job. 4 more years, though. I can make it. Plus, life is about to get busy with babies.

In other new, things are all set for us to go home. I am SO looking forward to the awesomeness. I'm just praying for a few things. One of them being the baby shower. I pray that it's a good turn out. With certain things coming up, we'll be short on money for a little while, so anything for the baby will be a big help to us financially. God has it under control and I know He provides when it's NEEDED. It's just a matter of what HE sees as a need. Things I might want for Audrey might not necessarily be needed. It's going to be great being home though. Alot of fun to come.

I have another baby appointment and ultrasound on Wednesday. At the time, I'm seeing *someone* whether it be the perinatologist or the OB..every 1-3 weeks. In 3 weeks, its the perinatologist again, then the OB again a week later. I'm gonna feel like I live in a Dr's office.

We move basically 2 days after we get back from Tennessee. Hectic! But I can't wait to get in the new house and start decorating Audrey's nursery. I can't decide whether I want to paint her room or not. I might pick a color from her bedding set and use that. I kind of like the green in the set. That way it would be more of a neutral color for the future....and I love the green color anyway! Weeeeee'll see!

Time is flying and it is very scary at times! Heeeeellllllp.
