so, Cam & I are starting our family.  We weren't necessarily trying, but not exactly preventing either... so on January 24th I found out we are pregnant!  I am 7weeks & 5 days today, due October 5.  We went to our first doctors visit thursday and were able to see our baby (bean) and see the heartbeat, maybe next time we can hear it too!  It was so comforting and exciting to see a life inside of me- it makes it all so much more real.  Cam's parents are super excited, I think mine are pretty excited as well.  I know my sister is!  My boobs have already grown out of my current bras (thank you baby), so I will soon be purchasing more.  I'm not showing yet (and hopefully not for a little while) so I'm still wearing my normal clothes.  I have been a lot more tired and nauseous randomly throughout the day.

Working full-time doesn't help the exhaustion and neither does our crazy puppy.  My job is easy but extremely boring, I can have nothing to do for hours at a time.  There is nothing more frustrating than being at work with nothing to do when all I can think about is the tons of things I could be getting done at home.  Reese sure would appreciate me being at home too.  I know she hates sitting in her crate all day because I hate it for her.  She's a great dog though, very animated.  She loves her human daddy, but tends to take to me more.  She reminds me of myself (ie hates wet grass, picky about eating, smiles for the camera, has to have her bed made before sleeping) and I think Cam gets a kick out of all this.  She will have just turned one when we have the baby, so they can grow up together.  I think they will have a good bond.

My husband is supposed to be leaving soon.  I hate it, but at the same time its not for nearly as long as some people have to go through so I can count my lucky stars.  I think I might do some projects around the house to pass time, maybe even look for a new house.  With a baby we are outgrowing our little 2 bedroom townhouse already!  I hate even more that the Army keeps jerking him around.  He's been trying to get his rank fixed since the day he came in and they all keep telling him "by this date" "oh it will be fixed by"  well all of those deadlines have come and gone & we're still waiting.  How can you expect someone to like what they do & take pride in it when you won't acknowledge what they deserve and give it to them?!
