home for the hoildays

so jax and i left sunny california last thursday and flew to az to spend christmas with my family..dustin couldn't come causehe wasn't able to take leave. i will be here until the 30th.. a much needed break from the galley. it's been a year since i have had 14 days off and it's rather nice. the next break i get will be when jax decides to arrive. so far i have seen cate, gavin, tim and andrea, watching cate and gavin until tomorrow. amy got home on friday it's good to see her and pete flys in today won't get to see him until tomorrow night when i get home from watching the kiddos. i have seen jer and jen and cute zoey. zoey is getting so big she is 12 lbs now and sweetest baby ever. she smiles at about everything and coos like it's going out of style. i can't wait till jax get's here. i know it will be hard with both me and dustin in the navy and the fact that in april 2011 i have to leave both my boys behind and do my sea duty. of course mom is worried cause i have to leave jax with dustin. but i know dustin will be fine, and i can't get out of my sea duty cause i signed a contract and i am obligated to finish my four year contract with the navy. the navy doesn't care if you have a family or not you signed a contract and you have to abide by it. but so far jax is growing away and kicking alot more, it still feels funny to feel him kick, it only get uncomfortable when he decides to move around than it's alot of pressure, i am not feeling sick anymore, finally glad that past, i am 24 wks only 16 more to go until jax makes his way into the world. it's an amazing thing being pregnant, i know when i first got pregnant i was suppose to be excited, but i was not excited i was scared out of my mind, dustin and i hadn't plan on having a baby so soon, we were going to wait until next year after the wedding, but life doesn't always go the way you plan, and this was a big curveball we both weren't expecting, we were both scared and we fought alot during the first couple of months, due to the stress of me bing pregnant and sadly i was very hormonal and i feel really bad about it, but now things are much better, we are both excited to meet the little guy. last night cate asked to feel jax kick, so i put her hand on my tummy and told her to wait, cause jax is now like a puppy he doesn't do it on command, he kicks when he wants to. so i told to be patient, luckily she didn't have to wait very long, cause jax decided to kick for his cousin and she got all excited. it was pretty cute to see. well more later when i get home from az...that's if anybody reads this. lol

it's a....

so we went to the doctor on wed and found out we are having a boy....dustin was really excited and i am too but i was hoping for a girl.. so jaxson thomas will be arriving april 12. :)

so far so good

went to the doctor last thursday..got to hear the heart beat and see the little bean..it was really cool. doc says my thyroid is normal again but i have to stay on my meds for the remainder of my pregency. go back on the 25th to find out if it's a boy or a girl..really hoping for a girl, but dustin wants a boy. work is work annoying long hrs and stupid bs. but that's like every job right?? dustin's mom and partner are coming up here for thanksgiving so i get to make my first offical thanksgiving dinner...EEEEK, trying to go home for christmas, but in a chit for the 17th thru the 31st. keep your fingers crossed. i feel the baby move everyonce in awhile right now it feels like butterflies are constantly in my stomach. not looking forward to becoming a regular punching bag but that comes with being pregnant. the morning sickness has finally gone awhile... still get nauseous and throw up every once in awhile but it's not as bad as it was for the first 2.5 months where i was sick every day, usually 3x a day..argh. i lost 7 lbs from that, and still under my original weight when i went to the doctor the first time...doctor said that if i don't gain any weight they are going to have to monitor me.. i am trying to gain weight for the baby's sake not mine..cause the more i gain the more i have to lose.. that's all for now more around the 25ish.
