When we had our first baby we figured out Jordans name a lil less than a month away I think. I had that name picked out for awhile but it took getting Tyson to like it awhile and we kept bouncing names around. Well with this second baby I have one in mind but we haven't locked down anything yet. Thankfully Tyson returns from training in fairbanks in two days cause we gotta get a name nailed down. 21 days left till this baby makes his arrival on April 15th. I'm doing a repeat C-section. With my first it wasn't something I wanted but jordan was in de stress so we had no other choice. With the second I had a choice to try to go the natural way or do a repeat. Pros and cons for both, but I went with the C-section. I def can't wait to have this baby. It feels like he is coming a lot sooner than he is cause when I think about 21 days and think thats three weeks I'm already to a point that I lay on my side a lot now when I am on the couch. Its the only "comfortable" position I can be in. Besides the fact that I have been bored out of my mind without Tyson being here the last two weeks I can't wait for tyson to get home because my child is soo heavy to me now, more so since I am wayy prego. so just a couple more days and then its Tyson's job to put that kid in the car and get him out haha.
My mom is coming up April 9 a week before the new baby gets here cause I want her to see alaska a bit before I put her to work ;) We def have a lot of work to do before she gets here. THe night before tyson left I had him move the dresser out of JOrdans room to our room next to our bed on my side. WIth Jordan he slept on his changing table on top of my desk next to my bed and we figured why not with this lil guy. We figure if he starts to show signs of being a big time mover we will put him in the baby Bjorn pack and play. We just dont see the point of putting up the crib since we're moving and then when we get to louisiana he can go into it. I mean he is going to be up alot for awhile anyways so it makes it easier if he's close by. For me at least.
I have been working full time at a dentist office since we got here in anchorage and started off as the sterilization technician helping flip rooms to get another patient back and also help out in the front. welll then the front office manager was caught doing things she shouldn't be doing so was fired and I immediately was the replacement till we got someone in there. This happened a few weeks before Tyson left for training, but since he left and its been my responsibility to pick up jordan by 530pm everyday I have been stressing big time. I've been overwhelmed trying to figure out things that I was never privy to but thankfully having experience billing and posting it wasn't too hard. Now I am kind of sad that I am leaving it because I worked so hard to figure the insurance world of medicaid and private insurance. Its now my "baby" of sorts and I dont want to let the reigns go. I've been training my replacement for about a week and a half, and I have to say I think he will do good, but I firmly believe that women do better in a front desk position than men. call me gender racist I dont care but its how I feel haha. I have two weeks left of work. WAHOO!!!! My body is def ready to slow down.
THe one thing I realized with Tyson being gone for the last two weeks is this is going to be my life while in louisiana. Granted he will come home at night maybe when the kids are already asleep, but I better get used to this. But then when they are between training new groups coming in getting prepared for deployment overseas he will have a quote n quote vacation. The pros and cons of having him re-enslist for this base so that he doesnt have to deploy and we can actually be a family. Havent had a lot of that since we got married and then him joining the army.
Alaska update; we are finally in the high 30 low 40's. THings are starting to melt but the roads some places like our parking lot is a mess. its an ice skating rink with sink holes of water that will swallow you whole. But we are enjoying the sun coming up around 730 and it doesnt get dark dark till 9ish. Spring is coming! YEA!
Its going to be strange adjusting to being a stay at home mom and with two kids. WHen Jordan was almost 4 weeks old I started hair school and went tues-saturday till he was 1 years old and then we were here for about 3 weeks in anchorage and I started my job. I know how to feed a baby their bottles and make them the home made veggies and fruit, but I am going to have to do my homework big time on what to feed my toddler full time 7 days a week. I hope I have the guts to go shopping with the two boys sooner than later. I think right now that scares me cause being anemic during this pregnancy having to run after jordan once sucks all the energy out of me for the whole day....so maybe once I get back to my normal self and can start working my butt off again at the gym I will be fine with both of them. I can do it. other people do it everyday I'll figure it out hehe.
anyways nothing too exciting going on around here except us getting ready for baby #2 and slowly getting the house ready for the move so that we're not running around mad trying to get everything done. slowly deep cleaning so that at the end its just a quick clean. HOpe everyone is doing good. I have a sister and a sister in law both pregnant and due about the same time in August. Its so crazy how our families are changing. Its a good thing
