We're Back in Texas

Well we made it back. It only took us 12 hours and for about one of those hours we sat in traffic. About a 1/2 hour in Oklahoma City, OK and another 1/2 hour in Fort Worth, TX. If I wouldn't have had to sit in traffic it would have only taking me 11 hours. This trip is suppose to take me 13 hours, so apparently we drove really fast. But we are happy to be home.

Ciarrah sleeping on the way home, she is using her blanket for a pillow and her pillow for a blanket. I think she's a little backward.

Although it would be nice if my husband was home. But no....he's still sitting in Cali, doing absolutely nothing. They decided to send all the unmarried and guys that are horrible soliders home yesterday and are keeping most of the married guys out there to do NOTHING. They are just sitting around waiting for flights to come home. Michael just called and said he's still not on a flight home, and that this one guy would let him have his flight, but BC told him NO. What the hell. I don't understand, maybe if I wasnt pregnant, it wouldnt be such a big deal, but since im 32 weeks pregnant, you never know what can happen.

We'll I'm going to get Ciarrah ready for bed. I hope everyone has a good week.

Going Home

Well our time here in Nebraska is almost up, thank goodness. I'm ready to go back to Texas and see my husband. Which he will be home hopefully, fingers crossed, by Tuesday. But if he isnt on the plane on Tuesday it won't be until Saturday. Gosh I'm ready to go home and get things back to normal for the most part. I love hanging out with family, but I'm so ready to go back to Texas.
I can't wait to go back to Texas for a few reasons. Some friends are waiting for us to come home and hang out for Ciarrah's bday, that they missed.

I get to go back to the doctor on Friday. Since I haven't been seen in about 6 weeks, I feel the need to go. I have been kind of scared to go though, cause when I was there 6 weeks ago, they said my uterus was measuring small. And well I feel my uterus all the time and it feels that it hasnt grown much. I even have measured it a few times, and I should be measuring close to 32 cm, well it isnt anywhere near that, so lets hope that it is growing like it should. Although, Cooper, has been able to move around quite a bit, I mean one minute he'll be laying across my stomach, then th next he'll turn himself up and down. When I was pregnant with Ciarrah she didnt move much around like this at this time. So I'm hoping everything is okay in there. I mean he is a constant mover, so I know he's healthy, and thats all that matters right now.

But we are going to be leaving early on Monday morning, like around 2 am or so. This way once we get back to Texas, we can go to the store and get some groceries and stuff. This way once Michael comes home we can stay home and hang out as a family, cause its been about a month since we've been able to do that.

Well I'm off to bed and I hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend. I'll keep ya'll posted if something changes.

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY CIARRAH

Rain Rain Rain

It amazes me. Ciarrah can sleep through VERY VERY loud thunder. I just dont see how anyone can sleep through that noise. Sunday night it rained and stormed so bad it woke me up and my mom and stepdad. The lightening was very bright too, sometimes it felt like it was right out side of my window. We were all awake most of the night, but to my amazement Ciarrah slept through it all and even slept past 8am.

Now today, it is raining and thundering, and of course she is in room taking a nap. I think its very loud, I was going to lie down and sleep too but I just can't fall asleep. Its too loud. I just dont understand how in the world she can sleep. I guess its a good thing, hopefully when Cooper comes she can sleep through him waking up, since when we move back to Nebraska Cooper and Ciarrah will share a room.

Birthday Party and such.........

Yesterday was Ciarrah's 3rd birthday party. Although her bday isnt until Wednesday, she had a good time. She got to play with her best friend, Charlie Mae. There really wasnt alot of ppl that showed up. It was mostly just family. My parents; Uncle Justin; Michael's parents and brother and little sister; grandma and great grandma; and some cousins and aunts and uncles. Altought there weren't alot of little kids there it was a fun party. Michael's parents have never met my stepdad, and my mom never met his step-mom. So it was a nice way for everyone to get together and meet one another.

She had a blast. She got some nice presents. Her party was at a park. Which I was unaware that the splash grounds were still turned on. So of course Ciarrah really wanted to go and play in the water. She did make her ways around with other ppl talking to them and saying hello. But she was tooooo busy to be sitting still. I'm glad we got to come home for her birthday party.

I'm just really bummed that Michael didnt get to come home with us. He's just as bummed as I am. He wishes he could have been here, but since he's still in Cali for another good 2 weeks. He called me last night really late to find out how her party was and to see if his parents showed up. He told me last night that he tried to call earlier in the day to tell her Happy Birthday but out in Cali they have cell phone blockers up everywhere so it usually takes him a good 20 minutes to find a good signal strength. I just can't wait for him to be home and I can't wait to go back to Texas. I mean yes I love being around family and what friends I can call friends here in Nebraska, but I miss my house and my bed and our things. Most of all I miss my husband. I just can't wait to see him again, and I know Ciarrah misses her daddy.

I guess thats enough rambling for now. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I hope everyone has a great week.

Little Miss Ciarrah

As of today, I am babysitting for my old boss. She has 4 kids, but Im watching 3 of them. It has been a few first day, I am always the one who gets to watch her kids for her, and just luckly I cam home when I did. Plus she always pays me really well, lets me use her vehicles, and we get to go out to eat, what can I say I love this job. Well we had gotten home from cheerleading practice and we were eating some dinner, Sonic, yummy. We were eating and I heard this spray sound, and then I hear Ciarrah screaming, and she comes around the corner, rubbing her eyes and crying, all the while, while holding a bug spray bottle in her hand. So what do I do I pick her up and try to flush the stuff out of her eyes, I have no idea how she got this bottle, where it came from, or how much is in her eyes. I read the back of the can and it says to seek medical attention if you get it in your eyes. So I call my parents and they decide to meet me at the ER. We get there and EVERY single room in the ER is full. So we of course have to wait a while. By the end of our close to 3 hours wait, after seeing the doctor and them calling posion control and all that good stuff, they tell me that she'll be fine. To take her home, and her eyes may be a little red and irritated. But if they get worse or if she obviously can't see them Im suppose to bring her back ASAP...
So that was an exciting filled night, and now Im exhausted, so its off time for bed. Hope everyone has a good night.
Love Becky

We're Here.....

We left Friday morning at 2am. It was a pretty good trip. Not a lot of traffic, and Ciarrah slept a good portion of the trip. It was a long 13 hour drive. Gosh I have figured out why I hate the drive, it is soooo boring. Now this trip makes it my 8 time. When we left our house it was 75 degrees outside. When we stop to get gas in Oklahoma at 8am it was like 60 degrees, and oh boy was it cold. The drive just got colder at came up through Kansas and into Nebraska. When I got to Nebraska it was raining and it was cold. I forgot how cold it was, and me being the brainaic that I am, I dont own any pants that fit me, so that is a problem lol. So now I have to go find some. Well, it has been a good trip so far. We are going out to the lakes to go camping and watch the Nebraska game. Well got to get going.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

He's Gone

This morning around 345 am, I had to take Michael to his drop off. So he could get on the plane and go to California for NTC Training. It was a hard goodbye. Ciarrah still thinks we are going to pick him up later today. I mean we will get minimal contact for the next month, since we've been married we have talked everyday and even when he was gone in the field he was able to call me, and he was only gone for a week at the most. This is going to be hard for me. It will be a long month. Although he has called to tell me that his living conditions are much better for them as opposed to the field. But he cant find any electricity so he charge his phone so it will be very minimal contact. He gets to sleep in an air conditioning, and he doesn't really have to do much to do until around the 13th of this month. But after that we dont get any contact until he'll be home.

As most of you know I should be almost to Nebraska, well not yet. Well this is because after my body refused to let me fall asleep and Cooper kept moving all night, I only managed to get like 3 hours of sleep and well I know it is not safe for me to drive the 13 hours on 3 hours of sleep. So Ive decided to go ahead and go to bed very early tonight like 7 or 8 and get up around 1 or so in the morning and hit the road. Since tomorrow is a very busy day back home, I need to get home early. Well that is all for now, I need to relax and get Ciarrah relaxed, and ready for the rest of the day.

Hope this finds everyone doing well.

Weekend...

Well I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. We sure did. It was nice that Michael had off for 5 days. We didnt really do to much til Sunday but it was nice to be able to just relax. It was pretty warm most of the weekend. I went to the hospital on Friday so they could do my glucose test, and I havent heard anything so it must be fine. My doctor knows that I am leaving on Thursday so she knew it was something that she needed let me know right away about.

On Sunday we had a great time. We went to a BBQ at some friends house. They have a little boy who is about 2 months younger than Ciarrah. They love to play together. Although they are both a little mean to one another. The last time they played together Ciarrah gave him a bloody nose. I really think some days she should have been a boy. She is NOTHING like me when I was her age. At least thats what everyone tells me, shes more like my brother. EEEKKKK.... But for the most part they play really well together. At his house he has a John Deere Ride Along Tractor, which she loves. So it looks like we might have to get her one. But we'll have to wait to get her one til we move back to Nebraska since we wont be down here in Texas much longer.

Later on that night after all the adults, minus me and like 2 other ppl, were intoxicated, we all decided to go bowling at 9 at night with 2 toddler who hadnt napped all day....what were we thinking.....suprisingly they both did really well. The kids bowled 2 games and us 8 adults bowled 1. It was a lot of fun, and of course I left my camera at HOME....so no fun pictures from our eventful evening. I bowled the best out of everyone, I was the only person who broke 100 everyone else barely broke 70. It was a fun and eventful evening. By the time we got home it was late and Ciarrah fell asleep in the car. But she actually slept in like like 11am, it was a nice change as oposed to her 8 am wake up calls.

Well our weekend was a blast, I hope everyone else had a great weekend. Well we need to get some cleaning done before we leave in a couple days.
Love ya'll
