Update on the Roley's

Hey there!

Well, again it has been a while since I have blogged. I am bad I know, but in my defense I had a lot going on! Here is the latest...

Sooo...RW's family came out to Colorado to visit before he left. So we spent some time with them and toured around Colorado a little. They flew out on a Tuesday and then my family flew in on a Wednesday to help me drive back home to CA while RW is gone. I had a doctors appointment before I left Colorado and they were nice enough to do another ultrasound so RW could see Little David one more time before he left! That was so nice...he has gotten chubby! So cute! I cannot believe that I am only 9 weeks away from having a baby! I am excited and nervous at the same time! Not much longer at all! :)

We spent the next day with RW getting him packed and ready to go. We went and looked around on Fort Carson with my brother and sister, they thought that was the coolest place. RW is my little brothers hero! We went bowling that night and the kids had a blast! They love their brother in law and will miss him as much as everyone else does!

RW deployed on that Friday. It was a tough day, but I held it together pretty well I think. I didn't shed any tears in front of RW, as he requested! After he left was a different story...I balled like a baby! Lol! It is tough with him gone, I miss him like crazy...but we can handle this! I know it!

Leaving our friends in Colorado was sad. We have made the best friends there. It was really wonderful to have 2 couples that we have really grown close to come and see RW off when he left. Martha & Josh and Stefanie & Bryce. They are really great friends to us and we will miss them dearly! When we come back we will have a new edition to our get togethers. David will be about 1 by then! We are in for a serious adventure! :)

We left Colorado the day after RW left...we drove through 5 states in 2 days. We made it to Cheyenne, WY the first day, then to my Aunts house in Utah the next day, then we pushed from Utah all the way to Sacramento to my Grandma's house the next and crashed there for 2 nights. From there it was only 4 hours home! It ended up being about a 4 day trip! BUT WE DID IT!! Now we are home and trying to get back into the swing of things and preparing for baby!!

I had a doctors appointment today here in CA with the doctor who will be delivering the baby. It went well and things are moving right along as they should be. I LOVED my doctor back in Colorado and wish I could have brought her out here with me...but I guess they don't do that! Lol! I do like the doctor I have out here. He is a nice guy!

That is about all I have to report as of now....I will "try" and do better about updating and letting everyone know what is going on. This is a great way to do it, I just need to take the time to sit and just do it! :)

I hope everyone is doing great! :)
