When a soldier comes home!

When a soldier comes home, he finds it hard to listen to his son whine about being bored. To keep a straight face when people complain about potholes. To be tolerant of people who complain about the hassle of getting ready for work. To be understanding when a co-worker complains about a bad night's slept. To be silent when people pray to God for a new car. To control his panic when his wife tells him he needs to drive slower. To be compassionate when a businessman expresses a fear of flying. To keep from laughing when anxious parents say they're afraid to send their kids off to summer camp. To keep from ridiculing someone who complains about hot weather. To control his frustration when a colleague gripes about his coffee being cold. To remain calm when his daughter complains about having to walk the dog. To be civil to people who complain about their jobs. To just walk away when someone says they only get two weeks of vacation a year. To be forgiving when someone says how hard it is to have a new baby in the house.

The only thing harder than being a Soldier.. Is loving one.

I don't know where to start he a week old today. He is so great so precious I love begin a mom again.My water broke last week  it was time to go get check in at the hospital. My hubby was  great with me every step of the way.I ended up having a c-section because he was laying on the cord. When he came out he was just fine. Justin is a big brother he loves it between us and him this baby is going to be so spoiled rotten.If I'm not holding him his daddy or big brother is. Life is so truly amazing that I was able to have a healthy little boy. He is a good baby . He sleeps though the night he doesn't cry at all unless we have to change him. He doesn't like to be naked at all. Jay was the same way! I can't get over the fact that he is here finally  we can hold him. Although I can't do anything for the next eight weeks but stay at home. It's okay because I have a loving  husband who is taking good care  of me. He is a little on the paranoid side but that's okay. I think it's so cute because I thought I seen his soft side with our son Justin.  Steve is a softy with both of our son's.  My mom with the whole family showed up to meet the new little man. My mom has been great cooking us food and bringing it over. It's been a little hectic around here. Having people who care about you so much makes it's better to get though the day.It's a little hard to sit here to type I feel like my guts are going to come out. I really hope this back pain goes away to so until next time. I adore my family  I couldn't get though it without my husband. I love him so much words are just not enough to tell him how I feel. I'm truly blessed! I love you stud muffin.

Due Date

I’m full term as of yesterday and I’m so excited to see what our little boy will look like. We have been all smiles ever since yesterday. I had an ultrasound done. We seen our little man he is head down and ready to say hi to the world.  We seen his spine his feet and butt. His little foot is what keeps kicking me in the side. It’s painful at times but worth it. It made me think how amazing being able to give life really is. I have a human growing inside of me that my husband I adore and love. We did that you know anyone can have kids but to be real parents its take a special gift. My labor with jay was hard because my honey was overseas at the time. He was able to see me before I left the hospital  he was delayed for a short time. It was nice to see him the two years we were apart was tough. He is here now  I just can’t wait. My little man just can’t wait to see his brother. Jay and Daddy are rubbing my belly so much telling him to come on out! I have to confess I’m a little scared to go into labor it has been eight years since I did this last. My honey tells me I’ll be fine just like last time no sweat Right! He makes me laugh so much. The baby’s room is all done clothes are wash and put away. My bag is pack and I’m ready well sort of. The one thing I won’t miss is peeing every ten minutes. I’m picking up big brother’s gift today so he won’t feel left out. We all took our last trip till next year and we had a blast. A little colder then what I wanted I’m not ready for snow yet. Jay and I pulled out the Halloween decorations and did the small stuff around the house. I have been cleaning like crazy but I guess that is normal it’s called nesting getting ready for the new baby. I swear I have cleaned the house from top to bottom like a dozen times not like it’s dirty but it makes me feel better. Updates will come soon on how far I am so stay tune for the good news!
