this deployment is less than a handful of days from being over and there's so much to do! i'm packing through out the day today but seeing how i've broken so many things already there doesn't seem to be a whole lot left to pack. i'm making the drive to 29 tomorrow with my mom and sister in 2 cars to move most of the things there and to sign a lease for a house on friday! my mom's gonna be cooking up a storm and my cold is finally looking like it'll clear up but i'm about 70% done with my bottle of robitussin and my throat is still really sore and i'm still coughing up green cottage cheese looking flem. pretty gross. i know. my friend is gonna swing by this evening to tetris everything into both cars and we'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning! so so excited :D cause the last time kris saw my belly it was almost nonexistent. now i'm so big! gaaahhhh

the dr had thought nicholas was still breeched since she last checked him last wk cause his heartbeat on the doppler was above my belly button. and since i'll be out of town for a few wks, she decided to double check on the ultrasound machine to make sure and it turned out he's completely turned already head down! she also did a cervix exam and can feel his head pushing down and the dr said that she could be wrong but she feels as if the baby will be here about 2 wks or so early. i really hope that he is so that i can hurry up and be a mom, and move back to 29 to our home. i'm so exhausted lately but i'll blame a lot of that on the cold i got from being in the creek all day at the maternity shoot. Robitussin should work some wonders right? lol i hope so! this week there's a lot to do and i can't wait to get it all done!

so yesterday i had my maternity photos done by lisa hermes of lisa hermes photography. she did an amazing job and i had so much fun doing different outfit changes or lack there of lol ... anyways i'm 35 wks pregnant now and the photos are absolutely amazing. i love them!

kris has been bugging me to get him some new clothes so shopping i went! i hope i got him enough to last for awhile, but it looks like when we're all settled we'll just go shopping bit by bit and get him clothes he'll need. got lots done, and more things to do. gonna go back to base in a couple wks or less to sign for a house and set it all up. then kris and nicholas will be here. i'm getting pretty anxious but excited at the same time.

i have this nagging feeling the baby will be here early. hopefully early enough but not too early where he'll be sickly. got lots of good news, and lots of phone calls to make soon :) and i'm sleeping a lot better now than i was last wk. trying to kick the insomnia.

33wks and the baby is still breech except his head is tucked under my right ribs, and his back curves around my left side and his butt is right the left of my pelvis area. so i came home and popped the belly buds on to hopefully have the music lure him down low (that's where i place the buds, real low by my pelvis) and i fell asleep with them on haha.. so 90mins later and i'm slouching sitting indian style in bed, and his head isn't in my ribs anymore!! he's probably just moving around cause he's still poking in my right side but i think he might he transverse now so maybe some music therapy will get him to drop into the right position soon. i have another appt in 1 wks and hopefully by then he'll be good to go and i won't need the dr's help to turn him.

i'm getting into the habit of couponing so that when i move to base, i can save money on trips to the commissary or any other major chain store we shop at like stater bros, walmart, food 4 less etc. manufacturer coupons paired with sales sounds like a good deal to me!

this is me at 32 wks, taken today by my friend jenny. she drove all the way from socal to visit with me for a few hours. made me feel so special! she also go this new hello kitty polariod camera along with the hello kitty film :D so cute!! i really want it lol.. just thought this would be a cute update! nick's due date is in 2 months.. i really hope he's here before then! *crosses fingers* :D

deployment blows but i've got some good news :) just gonna wait and see and not jinx anything. i can't wait for my family to be whole again!
