Happy New Year everybody! I can't believe it's 2012 already. Crazy! This year we will move into a bigger apartment, welcome our baby boy and very possibly move out of El Paso. Hopefully into a house at our next duty station. 2011 was a pretty crazy year, Brandon went active duty from the National Guard, he went off to training, I changed job locations, we bought our "family car", a SUV because his truck was falling apart and we wanted so badly to start a family, so decided to go ahead and get the family car. We bought Brandon a motorcycle, I quit my job because we were moving from the military, my adorable nephew was born..and then the best part of 2011...we found out we were finally expecting a baby! Biggest shock ever since the doctors had told us it would never happen without medications and all this other stuff, but we were/are so happy and feel so blessed to have Micah on the way. A week and half after finding out we were pregnant, we moved cross country, 18 hours driving from our closest family members. Brandon joined his new unit and we got use to the idea of living on the Mexican border and in the middle of the desert. 2011 has been a great year for us, living in El Paso isn't always the easiest, we wish we were living on the east coast where it would be easier for family and friends to visit us, and we could actually see green and rain, but it is what it is. We won't be here forever. And luckily we are making really good friends while we are here; that helps a lot.
I can now say that my c-section is scheduled for next month, how crazy does that sound?? And we'll see if we actually make it to our scheduled date, I really hope we do. One of the joys of Ehlers-Danlos though is that I'm a high risk for early labor. However I did tell Micah that if he was going to come early it had to be between Christmas and the New Year, so we would at least get a tax credit :) (can you tell my dad is an accountant....lol), after that window of opportunity closed, he has to wait until Feb 3rd. We'll see if he actually listens. I woke up today feeling like I did 8 million crunches last night on top of a full body intense workout, and I'm just feeling not quite right. Nothing weird enough to call the doctor about yet, just enough to take it easy and observe. Oh and the swelling has begun. I'm barely swollen in my feet and hands at the end of the day, but enough for me to notice it. So water intake is increasing again, I had gotten slightly lazy about it.
Only 33 more days until Micah is here!
