4 MONTHS AND COUNTING~~~~~~~

Let see what else is new. First off as for Mike he is finally at his final destination ( the gulf) and doing well. He is working very hard and staying extra busy. We love and miss him so much. We are truley counting the days until he is home again. We found out that mikes sea time has been cut down due to him making E5. So we will be moving back east late Oct early Nov. At that point mike will be on shore duty for 3 years and going to college. His chief has been helping him to get orders close to home. We are not sure what the plans are as far as him staying in or getting out. Right now he is just concentrating on getting a degree. It looks like we will be either going to Paxton River Md or Philly. I will keep you all up to date on the status of our orders.

As for Brenden he is doing ok, he has had a really hard past two weeks. I have been working with him alot and now that I am a stay at home mom, I am sure that things will be better. He has had a hard time with Daddy gone lattley and also some issues at school but for the most part doing well. He knows that he is supposed to be Daddy's little helper and is doing that taking care of mommy and the babies. Also Brenden lost a tooth today and is making sure he puts it under the pillow for the tooth fairy..

As for me, I am now 4 months and getting much bigger. I have been pretty sick as you all know and I spent a few nights and days in the hospital getting fluids and meds. We were trying to find our what was making me so sick. Loosing 27 pounds just is a bit much. As of Monday the Dr put me out on bed rest. He thinks that with all the weight loss that maybe being at home and trying to eat every 2 hours might help. Also at work I was on my feet alot and over all, its just been a bit hard. I am a strong woman and will make it thats for sure. I know that with the lord beside me and my children we will make it. He will never give me more then what I can handle.I am just doing my best to keep these babies in until Daddy is home...My next Dr appt is on Mon the 27th of Feb. We should be getting a date for the big ultra sound to find out what we are having. We are taking a pole to see what everyone thinks. As for me I think its a boy and a girl...
We shall soon see, daddy is about to bust he wants to know so bad.

Thats it for now, we love and miss you all so much, I will be sure to keep you all up to date with things going on. God bless you all!!!!!
