Where have I been?!?!?!

5 days after surgery2 weeks after surgery
Its been almost a month since I wrote the last time and there is a good reason for that!!! I think some of you know that I had surgery on 9/5. This lil heavy boy that is cooking right now and has one trimester left as of today gave me severe carpal tunnel syndrome in the rt hand so we had to get it taken care of!!!! My friend Christina has stayed with me the last 2 weeks and has been a HUGE help taking care of the house, the kids-all 3 and ALL the CRAZY dogs!!! We have survived the madness around here including another round of kidney stones, a lil 5 yr old who misses her dad, a 7 mo old who is teething and has diarrhea and a diaper rash, a 2.5 yr old who has decided bed is for everyone but her and the neighbor threatning the dogs!!! Its been a fun 2 weeks-Christina deserves a heroes award and a nice vacation!!!!

The baby is doing well.....I am 27 weeks today-13 left!!! Tom should be coming home around Dec 21 for the babys birth! I have only gained 7 lbs and I am measuring 28 weeks! I measured a week small with the girls so Im guessing this lil man is going to be a lil bigger than his sisters!

Tom is no longer at Basrah Air Station. He has been moved north again closer to Baghdad. He has had a lil more work at the new place but not much more. It is good that things are so quiet there right now but it does make the time pass slowly! The girls and I miss him so much and cant wait to see him! I am thankful that he makes a huge effort to email and to send pics often! I am grateful that we are able to talk on the phone and have internet access! Modern technology has made this deployment so much easier! It also made it so that my amazing husband could send me these beautiful flowers the day after surgery!!!! What a sweetie!
