Oh the many joys of pregnancy

As I sit here preparing for bed, David is kicking and squirming like crazy. Which is why I haven't been sleeping at all! Between his parties at night and all the bathroom trips, it is almost more work to try and sleep than to just stay up! LOL! He is a busy little guy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Movement is a good sign of a healthy active baby! That's what we want! :)

I have just entered in to my 8th month of pregnancy, and oh man the changes that have occurred are crazy! I have had a really easy going pregnancy this far, no real complaints everything has been great! Now, I am having a bunch of symptoms ALL at once! Its insane! I am super tired, have really bad acid indigestion, my back hurts, I can't sleep, it is getting really hard to breathe, I am moody (more than usual for those who know me! LOL!) and I am starting to leak milk! Aaaahhh!! But hey, that's how it goes I guess. I am almost to the end and I really don't want to rush it, so despite my complaints and ailments I do want him to stay put as long as he can so we have a nice healthy little boy! Just keep us in your prayers...especially at night! Know that we are probably still awake! LOL! :)

Roley Baby update

I had a doctor's appointment today. I am 33 weeks and everything is looking good. No problems, which is how we like it! The doctor let Grace and Jeffrey help him find the baby's heartbeat. Jeffrey got to squirt the gel on and Gracie got to help the doctor find David's heartbeat! They thought that was neat and had fun helping. I am optimistic that everything will continue to go so well. I will start childbirth classes next week. I can't believe that in only 6 weeks RW and I will be parents! It is exciting and scary all at the same time!We are in for a big adventure and can't wait! :)

Prayers for our troops...

I just want to ask everyone to please keep RW and all the troops overseas in your prayers. I am not sure if any of you have seen the news, but on Sunday (Father's Day) some things happened over there, not far from where RW is at. I spoke to RW Monday night and he was telling me all about it. Please just add RW and our family and all the soldiers that are over there to your prayer list. We greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Midnight "Potty" Run...

So last night or early this morning around 3am or so...I woke up because I had to pee! Lol! Which was one of my many midnight trips to the bathroom! Last night was a little different though, because as I came back from the bathroom, my phone was lit up! I was thinking "its 3 in the morning...it has to be RW!" Sure enough, he was on IM and sent me a message. He said I know you're sleeping but I thought I would say hi...he was surprised when I wrote him back! He was like, "you're supposed to be asleep!" Lol! We only chatted for a couple minutes because he had to go. I woke up this morning and had to check my phone because I thought it all may have been a weird dream, but it wasn't! No coincidences! :) He is doing really well and is still getting into a routine over there! I will keep you all posted on him as much as I can! :)

New signature!

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! :)

My life as of now....

Well, I just thought I would update everyone. Things here are going okay. We are currently staying in a motel for the time being...

Today is RW and I's last real day together, hopefully we can have a nice evening when he gets off work. His family flies in tomorrow and will be here for a while.

As far as baby news goes, things are going well. David is getting bigger by the minute....I feel huge. He is a busy little guy! We are getting closer and closer to his arrival. I am sad that RW won't be here for the delivery, but that is just how it is. I guess we will have to have more kids so he can be apart of those delivery's. Lol!

That is a summary of what is going on here. I am feeling more and more stressed as the days go by, but I guess thats just how it goes!

I hope everyone is doing well! Sorry I have been a slacker...I will add pics and write more when I can! :)
