16 Weeks...DONE!

When I met and married hubby, I never imagined my heart could hold that much love for someone. I was so happy...puppy dog love all the way. Still am. I feel like a giddy school girl all crazy excited when I see my husband.

And then we got pregnant. At first I wasn't to keene on this little alien, but this 2nd trimester has been a huge turn around in attitude for me. I feel like the Grinch who's heart grew three sizes.

Found this song in our iTunes collection. Thought it was perfect for both hubby and little alien...especially with hubby gone right now. Boy do I miss him.

Thinking of You

When I'm all alone or in a crowd

In a quiet place or where music's loud

If I'm on the road or in the other room

That's how you know I'm thinking of you.

When the flowers bloom

When the leaves turn brown

When the sun is hot

When the snow falls down

When the clouds are gray

And the skies are blue

That's how you know I'm thinking of you

I'm thinking of you, that's all I do, all the time

You're always the first and the last thing on this heart of mine

No matter where I go or what I do

I'm thinking of you

Can't remember now who I use to be

What I cared about before you came to me...baby

Every selfish thought, all I thought I knew

Has been replaced with thinking of you

Another Great Day

This was me till 11:30 this morning. Well, I did wake up and text my hubby good morning at around 7:30 and took the dog out. But then I went back to bed and sleep blissfully for another few hours.

Good news: docs here FINALLY put me on a medication that works for the PHN. I still feel pain, but it isn't excruciating. I'm sooooo happy. Of course I'm a little p-oed that it took them two months to figure things out, but hey, at least they did it.

More awesome news: today is our 9 month wedding anniversary! Hubby and I have been through a lot of crap and change in the past nine months, but we've survived so far and I believe it's made our marriage stronger. I knew I had married a pretty awesome guy from the very beginning, but as we've pushed through each hurdle with this PCS (and pregnancy), I am in awe over the amount of patience, strength, and perserverance that hubby shows every day.

Babe - I love you and miss you!

Therapy

Lately other blogs have been a type of therapy for me. Laughter therapy...stress relieving (aka cry my eyeballs out) therapy...relief therapy.

I laugh with the other wives about their days as they describe them, and how instead of calmly killing a bug in the kitchen, one girl nearly douses the entire area with Raid. And how when their soldier is gone, they have a huge gapping hole in their heart that NOTHING fills. And how they all feel exactly the same way as me, maybe not as a hormonal-crazed prego, but still just as stressed and lonely.

Is is sad that I laughed hysterically over "while in the fetal post-vomitting position, I realized that I really need to clean my toilet"? Maybe cause that has been my recent nightly ritual (gotta love pregnancy). One thing that is strangely comforting, my dog Baylo comes and sits right outside the bathroom every time.

Today I had another baby doctor appointment. Things are looking great in bambino land. He/she was moving around a lot, is growing like a weed, and had a heartbeat of 156.

I also got to pickup a few packages. Two of them were boxes of baby room decorations that hubby had gone and ordered. How amazing is he. I love him so much!

Now I'm waiting for Two and a Half Men to come on tonight. Even though the shows appear one day later than in the states, it's great being able to watch a few of them here.
