No longer owned by the Government

Today I received my Honorable Discharge papers from the Air Force Reserves. Which means that I cannot be called up by the military any more. Not that I think anything monumental would happen to the United States where we would declare war and be needing whole bunches of troops to go to battle. Still its nice to know that I'm "safe". I don't have to worry about leaving my family for any reason. Not that they would want me anyway. We had to recertify every 2 years on the M-16 and they described my classification as "If we give you a gun things are looking very hopeless". I am grateful for the experiences that I received during my enlistment. I am also grateful to put that part of my life very much in the past. So Goodbye Government! You no longer own me :)

Waiting

So I'm not a very avid blogger if you haven't already noticed but I was trying to update at the very least once a month.

I totally failed last month. 

Oh well. I guess its because not much has been going on except for the normal daily grind and the Waiting. I have felt like everyday during this pregnancy has just creeped along. When I look back I'm almost tempted to think that things are moving right along, but everyday just seems like it takes forever to get through. Like I'm plodding through mud or swimming upstream (that one really doesn't work for me cause I don't swim), or how about like I'm going up the down escalator.

This baby is so much more active that Kaleb ever was and while that was cute and sweet and made me think about how different these siblings are going to be, now it is just painful because there really isn't much room anymore. I'm 33 weeks. All the pregnancy newsletters and books said that the baby would start to slow down with movements because quarters are getting cramped. Has that happened at all? NO! When I think about the baby during the active times, I'm so happy and aww how cute, but as far as how it feels I wish this kid would stop moving! So many uncomfortable moments that sometimes turn into pain. And pregnancy is supposed to last about 40 weeks.

So on one had I'm thinking grow baby and stay in there until you are ready to face the world and on the other I'm like come out now! I'm physically so ready to have this kid and sometimes I get frustrated about the time left. Especially since this is taking so long.

Oh well.
