So instead of finding out what all was going on with my hubs re-enlistment we heard nothing more. He went to his class today to learn more about what they were offering in this program and he was bored stiff. Evidently this class was supposed to be scheduled a year to 18 months in advance, so BEFORE they are to be discharged, not 7 days before! It is sooooo frusterating! Then the news gets worse! His chief calls him to tell him that he will know whats going on tomorrow by 12:30 but he had to threaten the higher ups with us getting a lawyer unless they A. Do everything they promised right now, or B. Extend him through December 1st after the baby is born. He told the hubs that those are the only two choices, so either they do either of those things or we will have to get a lawyer!! I cant even tell you how scared I am right now....I dont know what we will do... If they do what they promised we will be ok right now, but if they do not and extend us we will be ok but it will still suck because we really need the lump sum of money to pay things off. If they do nothing we are totaly screwed! Not only do we NOT have the money for a lawyer, but we wont have anymore money as of the 1st coming in, and could lose EVERYTHING! I am praying so hard right now they just give us the money as promised, but I will take the second option of extending us as well if its offered I just cant handle the thought of them doing nothing....
Anyways, I guess I will let you know...I just had to get that out....please pray for us if you pray, or do whatever you do....I just HAVE to hear good news tomorrow....

Bad to Worse?

Well we got moved into the house finally! It has been wonderful so far, and we have gotten a lot done here. Riley's room is all finished, we painted a pretty pink color, got her new bunk beds, bought her a new dresser and painted it white, and also painted her hope chest white as well. She has all new furniture now and it looks perfect! She is pretty happy in there, so I am good with it :o)
We also got the paint for the babies room. We got a really pretty green color but we have not painted it yet. We got the crib set up and it is really pretty, I am really glad we bought it. The bedding I bought goes really well with the crib as well. I will start working in there pretty soon, I just want to make sure I dont over do it.
We still have quite a few things to unpack, mostly our clothing and stuff, but we dont have enough closet space so we need to wait till we get a couple dressers. I have been looking for them, but it seems like up here they aare few and far between, not only that but since my tabs are expired on my truck I cant pick anything up, so we have to rely on a friend to do it, and while we pay him gas I still feel bad for having him run all our errands..
Thats a huge thorn in my side right now as well.....the guy who sld me the car had his secretary call me 2 weeks ago wanting to know why I hadnt made a payment. I told her I wanted to know why they had not sent in the paper work for me to get it licensed...Anyways, to make a long story short it was a back and forth between us and I told her I would make a payment when they sent in the paperwork so I could license and actually drive my friggin car, she promised to do it, but its been 2 weeks and I have not heard a word about it. I am not only going crazy because I cant drive my own car, but I am also worried that they may not do it and try to come take my car, or just try to scam me out of the money and the truck. I guess we will see what happens, I should just put my truck in the garage so they cant get to it, just incase.
The other worry on my mind is the fact that Andy is officially out of the NAVY in 2 weeks. He did get the Involuntary Separation which sucks, but I am really hoping it will turn out better than him being in the NAVY. I just wish he would get on it! He has barely talked to them about it and always has an excuse why he doesnt. He only gets 2 more paychecks and thats it!! We dont get enough money as it is with me not working, we cant even pay our bills right now, already a couple of things are behind and I totaly dont want to mess up our credit score we just fixed because he is being lazy about talking to them. Not only does he need to figure out what kind of job he will be getting, but he needs to figure out the money and the medical issue. We are supposed to get that 20 or 30k and have not heard a friggin word about it and we need it!! We cant even pay our mortgage payment right now. Our medical is another story! I just got the medical switched so I can see a dr. but who knows if I will even get in to the dr. before he is officially out in two weeks, and I dont know how its going to work. We have to have valid military id's to get to the hospital which our id's will expire in 2 weeks...they say they will give us medical for 4 months after he is sepersted which is good but it sucks since that will give me medical till 3 weeks before I am due. Who knows what we will due if I get charged for the delivery, that will be a huge bill. Andy is supposed to find out more today but so far he is sitting on his butt still, I have already pestered him about it this morning and he said he would get on it but like I said, he is sitting here. It is really driving me crazy right now! I am 17 weeks right now and have not seen a dr. since 10 weeks! I am assuming everything is fine, I heard the heartbeat for the first time with my dopplar the beginning of last week, it was really cool. I was super happy since I had had a bit of spotting after we moved in here and I was worried, but all is well now as far as I know.
Anyways.....keep your fingers crossed for me that everything will work out for us, we are really going to be hurting here soon if things dont change, and if Andy doesnt get his butt in gear and get this shit done. I am trying not to be a bitch or to pushy with him, but as we speak he is still on his ass playing a friggin computer game. He has not tried to call anyone or even made a move to do anything! Gah! I could kill him sometimes!

Sooo frustrated!!!
Gaaahhh there is so much going on and I am sooooooo frustrated right now! First of all we were supposed to moving today, but sadly we are not, and we have no idea when we will be. I am so friggin sick of the lender saying dates and then having them pass, I wish he would just stick to one date! I know most of this isnt his fault since he is just waiting to hear back from the underwriters which of course he said would take 3 days and its been over a week now. I am just hoping we hear more today. We had better since the actual close date we had was the 19th and that is Wed. I guess we will see, but all I know is I am sooo sick and tired of this house buying business!
So now we are still in the rental house, a month after we were supposed to be out of here, the landlord is getting a little pissy over it, and we are 80% packed up here just waiting...
The next issue on the table is ugly. Andy was supposed re-enlist which he of course waited till the last min. to do, and guess what? We still have not heard if it went through or not...so after asking around as to why we find out that the NAVY is dowsizing its submarine fleet and he may get forced out. Sooo basically he will either get re-enlisted which is looking like it wont happen since he has not heard anything at all about it, or he will get an involuntary seperation fromt he NAVY and the lovely government will supposidly give us $25k and get him a job working as a civilian for the government. Either way I guess things will work out, they better since we just bought a friggin house and we have bills that need to be paid!
Andy and I are not getting along of course. I am just so sick of him spending friggin money like water. I have given him over $200 in the last week and of course it is all gone. He blows through money like water through a strainer and I am soooo effing sick of it! He doesnt even know of he has a job for crying out loud but yet he still spend spend spends! He will jus never learn and I cant even deal with it anymore. Of course he doesnt think he does anything wrong.... Whatever..
To top everything off I broke my friggin toe on Tuesday. Of course I was in the garage without shoes on but there is no reason there should be 500 friggin soda boxes thrown all over the garage instead of being thrown out, but just like everything else in the house thats only something that I would do. Anyways, I was trying to dodge the soda boxes and I trip and broke my toe. Of course that made me feel wonderful. Then today of course my truck battery died, it has been having some charging issues the last few days and I told Andy I needed a new battery, but of course super car mechanic man said I didnt, that I had just left something on in the car, which I knew I hadnt but whatever. Anyways, of course it ended in a huge fight because I was right and he was wrong, like usual, and he ended up having to go get a battery. He is on his way to Yelm which he thinks is only 30 min away when it is really more like an hour, to pick up a table and chair set for our new house. We will see if he is able to get the whole set in the truck, I dont think he will be able to since there is 6 chairs, but he is sure he can so whatever.
Anyways.....I guess the good news is I am almost 15 weeks! I have not been able to get into the dr. again yet, I was going to wait till after we moved but who knows if I will even be able to do that now with everything going on....I guess I will get in there sooner or later. I feel much better now though since I am over the nausea, I still need to take little naps everyday but that is pretty much by choice. Anyways I am so excited to move and decorate the nursery and the rest of the house, lets just hope we get in there soon :o)
Ok well I think I am done for right now. I am tired and I dont even want to do anything today, but I know I need to pack in the hopes that we may actually get to move in the next few days....

The end is near!
Well each day we are getting closer to the end of the month and moveing into the new house! We got the garage cleaned out and packed up this weekend so thats nice, today I need to get the spare room packed up, parts of Rileys room cleaned up, and then my bathroom sorted and packed up. Then we will just have our clothing, beds, and kitchen stuff to move. So we still have a lot to do lol. I threw out a bunch of junk stuff though and then took another truckfull to Goodwill so that made me feel better. I think I will have one more car load of stuff to go to the Goodwill once I am done but at least the new house wont have a ton of crazy clutter in it.
We still have not heard anything back on the house, but all we are waiting for is the word from the VA inspector that he is fine with the work that was done and the house passes, and then the loan documents. I just wish it would hurry up! I friggin hate staying here in limbo! Our agent said she thinks we will be able to move the second week of May no problem. If it takes longer then she is going to ask for early occupancy but hopefully it all goes as planned and we can just move in.
There is so many things we need to purchase an buy for the new house as well. We need to buy a few more fence panels so the fence is complete, we need to get dressers for all of us so we have room for our clothes, we need to buy new appliances so we can actually use our kitchen...AHHGGGG to much to think about!
Oh and I almost forgot! Today I am officially 12 weeks pregnant! Everything seems fine, though I really wont know until I get to the dr. again and I have no idea when that will be since I have to wait till I get to Bremerton and get set up. I dont want to see 3 different dr.'s so I will just wait until I get set up with my regular OB.
Ok well I think I am going to get off the computer for awhile. I have some stuff to get done here and then I need to go out an about on some errands. I will try my best to keep you posted on everything :o)

I know I have promised to keep up on this blog but so much has been going on here I really have not had the time. I also didnt want to write to much about the baby in case something happened, it just felt like bad ju ju to talk about it yet. Now that I am almost 12 weeks and I have already seen the heart beat I think we are ok.
Soooooo......where to start???
I guess with the beginning of the month. I am not officially a SAHM or Stay At Home Mom in case you missed it :o) Work got to be to much for me with the impending move and the baby so I left the first of the month. I was really sick of working as well, my boss was really being rotten as well so it was time for me to go. I have been a bit bored since being off, but this pregnancy has really been different and I have had lots of nausea which makes my day not so wonderful. It has been nice being able to take naps when I need to.
The middle of the month brought our pre-approval letter for our own home, which we have worked sooo hard to get! We were so excited we went house hunting right away! We had been looking online as well for the last 3 months in hopes that by move time we would have our approval so we knew what we wanted to look at. We went and looked at 6 houses and all of them we thought we would really like and they all had something not right with them that we didnt want to deal with at all, lucky for us our agent had gotten a new listing that morning which was the first to last house we went to and we fell in love with it immediately. We put an offer on it that night and that started our journey towards first time home owners status :o)
It is now the end of the month and the home purchase is well underway and we are expecting to move in the second week in May. We have some small remodeling projects to do in the house but I am very excited to do them and make this house our home.
I am also almost out of my first trimester of pregnancy. I only have a few days left and I am very excited to be done with it and in a "safe zone" so to speak. We have had a couple of scares with this pregnancy and I am ready to not have to worry anymore. We still have not told our families about the baby but I plan to soon. I ordered a photo mouse pad for mom with a picture of Riley holding the ultrasound picture that I plan to send to mom as soon as I get it. I know she will be happy, well everyone will be happy.
Well I guess that is enough for right now, I will try and update this on a regular weekly basis at the very least but I cannot promise anything since I dont know how busy I will be in the next couple of weeks with packing or the new house.

Well since I have been absent a month I will catch you up on everything that has been happening....
First of all we had our wedding. It was a very nice ceremony and we had a great time. I will post some photos as well. It went by really fast and shortly after we got home we found out we had orders! So we have to report to Bangor Sub Base in Bremerton! Thank God!! I dont know what I would have done if we had gotten anywhere else... So things have been very crazy around here since we got that news. We have been working very hard to get our credit score where it should be so we can buy a house up there and we are very close to accoplishing that. We just need to find a place we like now.... I cant wait to move up there! It will be so nice to finally start our own lives!
I think I am even more excited about all of our bills being paid off and me not having to go back to work! I cant wait to stop working. Since I told my boss I was going to be leaving they have found something stupid to do to me every day. Last week they only paid me for 1 week even though I faxed my timecard to my boss AND called her to double check. Then they called me saying I should use periods instead of forward slashed when I input dates...just lame crap like that...Oh well, I will be done in a month and then I wont have to worry about it anymore.
This month is when all the fun started though, well Saturday actually..... WE ARE PREGNANT AGAIN!! Finally!!! It has been a very long 6 months of trying but we are finally here and soooo happy! I thought I would be a worried mess once I found out but I actually feel pretty good. In fact I decided to wait until we get to the Bangor before going ot the dr. They dont usually get you a dr. apt until 8 weeks anyways, and I dont want to start with a dr. here and then have to switch again in a few weeks. Besides I dont want to go in and have them poking around up there with anything, I think that could be worse for me....
I feel much better all the way around this time. My ta ta's have been hurting for the last 2 weeks, I have been pretty naseated as well but not to the point of throwing up thank goodness! I also have had terribly itchy skin and had to pee every 5 min. I thought for sure I was pregnant but I tested every day for the last 2 weeks and they all said Neg. I just happen to see an old test that fell out of the trash and it had two lines, so I tested again and it was positive! We are just so happy! Anyways, I am due November 8th, mom's birthday! So I am 5 weeks right now. We are not telling any of the family, we are going to wait till I am 12 weeks at least. That way if anything happens we dont have to deal with telling everyone again. Last time was to painfull...
Anyways, I should get off here, I am starting to feel tired and I want to take a nap. I will keep this updated from now on.. I will be very bored once I am not working....

Well so far this month has been pretty busy. With all of the wedding planning it seems like there is still so much to do. I also turn 27 in 5 days! I am actually freaking out about it a little. I am all that much closer to 30 and I really have no accomplished much....Oh well, I refuse to dwell on that :o) Riley is 10 days away from her 4th birthday as well. I am REALLY freaking out about that! It doesnt seem possible that I have a 4 year old daughter. Hopefully the stork will be kind to us this year and we will have a new baby in time for next year :o)
Riley is sick right now, I have had to stay home from work the last couple of days. I wish I was happy about it, but sadly I am not...I wish I could have worked, we need the money right now. To much crap to pay for...
I am just hoping she gets better, she has had a super high fever for two days, and terrible congestion and coughing. I have been worried sick about her....She seems to feel better during the day and then get ill at night. She is fine so far tonight, but we will see how it goes.
Well so much for the update, I am going to run. I need to work on my tan and the neighbor wants to go with, so I will write more later!
