I'm miserable
|

I hate being pregnant. Yes, I said it. I hate it. Does that make me a horrible person? :( The only enjoyment I have received is feeling him move and kick the breath out of me, lol. I'm very much looking forward to the end result and, like I said, I love feeling him move, but other then that what enjoyment can there be in a pregnancy. I live in the middle of the desert where it can get as hot as 120 so you can only imagine the misery of even stepping a foot outside. My ankles, well, I should say what ankles as I have none are so swollen! Call them cankles from now on. I'm tired all the time and lets not forget the frequent stops to the bathroom. And I do mean frequent. I don't think I've ever used so many public restrooms in the course of my life as I have the past 5 months or so. My husband keeps telling me to just give in to wearing Depends. To which I say, now is not the time to piss me off :P
I feel like a hippo. Hope I don't look as big as one. The endless misery can go on and on. I'm sure other women have had it worse, but I'm speaking from my own experience. I applaud the many women who can do this multiple times cause I'm calling it quits after one. I don't even want to go into detail of how terrified I am of labor. I say shoot me up doc with that epidural and lets get it over with. 8 more weeks to go though and already counting down. Man, do those men have it lucky ;) |

I'm baaaaaack! Wow! I've been away from AW for a good year a half just about. A lot has changed, a lot is the same. I never thought I'd actually ever come back here, but after so long we all become addicts, lol. Last time I wrote it was about my husband's deployment. I'm glad to say that he's no longer in the military and we are no longer living in Alaska (I don't know what's the best outta those two). We're back in sunny California! It's the best. I haven't felt such wonderful weather in so long. I couldn't imagine leaving again.
Anyway, in further news my husband and I are expecting our first baby in August! It's a boy! His father came up with the most awesome name ever (of course I would say that, I'm a soon-to-be mom so I'm biased) but, really, it's an awesome name. Pearse Conor will be born at the estimated date of August 10th. We are both really excited and scared at the same time. Shopping for a new baby is actually more fun then shopping for myself...sometimes, lol. Well, that's that.
I'm going to be redecorating my home. It's been the way it was for way too long. I'm getting sick of looking at it that way. Wish me luck as I've been away from HTML for a good year. It's like learning a foreign language ... |

One year wedding anniversary
|
Posted at 12:00 EST

Our one year wedding anniversary was March 5th. They say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and despite the deployment, it wasn't all THAT bad. Yes, certainly, we've had our downs, as most couples do, and definitely our arguments and issuses that took awhile to get over, but all in all it was the best year of my life. I'm pretty confident hubby will say the samething. Except for the deployment, of course. We even got through that ordeal and we're the stronger for it.
Anyway, we took pictures for our anniversary. I wish I had a scanner to show everyone. We went to dinner after that, but I must say the best of it all were the presents ;) I got my Tiffany's bracelet that I've wanted for oh so long, and was so surprised when I got it and my Coach purse that David likes to call my couch purse, lol. I was extremely thrilled and surprised to have been spoiled like that. I'm not complaining though :D |

Well, I've been back as Bahiyyah, but have ignored poor Clodia. It feels good to be back as the person you orginally were :D It's even better now that David is home. I do believe the only time we're out of each other's sight is when he is at work. He schedule sucks. He works 12 hours, from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, with only the weekends off. By the time he comes home we eat dinner and go to bed. I must say though, it's a heck of a lot better then seeing him none at all. Thank goodness he gets out of the military this year. I'm not too sure how we'd handle another deployment, if it came to that. I certainly have a lot of respect for those wives, parents, etc. who do it all the time. |

HE'S HOME!!! HE'S HOME!!!

Yes, my husband is finally home and we can proudly say we are first deployment survivors. It was a nightmare having him so far away for way too long. Definitely something we do not want to experience, but it is the price you pay when married to the military. I'm just glad to have him home safe and sound. I, myself, will be reutrning into the arms of my husband on Wednesday. I'll be taking my two week hiatus from AW then :D It's the best feeling in the world to have him back home. Once we are together again that feeling I won't even be able to explain. Thank you everyone who kept my husband in your thoughts and prayers. And thank you for keeping up with my deployment journal. It's all over now folks :D

The back of my wedding dress
Before the ceremony It's me! And I was nervous, lol.
My mom and I
David and his best man
During the ceremony
I do! It's the kiss ;)
After the ceremony
A toast Not very traditional of the bride to make a toast but my parents paid for our entire wedding so I couldn't resist.
Cutting of the cake
We were married on March 5, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Monte Carlo Chapel.
EDIT: Uh, yeah, I guess the website the images were on no longer around...There is a picture of me and my mom from the wedding under images if you'd like to see that one. |

End of Darkness

A poem written by David Andrews
Its been awhile since the last time he wrote a poem. I thought it was the last of his writing days. I should have known better. A poet at heart, he never lost his touch...
There was a time when you were all mine
When thoughts of you filled my heart and mind
There once was a time so precious and brief
That I couldn’t understand when all the grief
Came into our lives and ruined everything
We were helpless, couldn’t do a thing
But now we’re at the end of darkness
It’s the end for the path of sadness
You’re my angel in flight, my goddess of light
My everything, my world, my entire life
You came like a vision, made my days bright
I could not hope for a better wife
There is a time when you’ll be all mine
When we’ll be one of a kind
We’ll have our time of ecstasy and lust
There are no words to describe the two of us
The love we share is extremely rare
I could lose all else and not even care
The darkness is gone and long forgotten
The wings of our love are no longer broken
You’re my angel in flight, my Venus so bright
My everything, my world, my entire life
You are a vision of blinding light
Only you could be my wife

As everyone knows my husband is deployed, Duh, right? I mean, she's only been writing about for the past four months. I know, I know, but he'll be home soon :D Anyway, it always brings tears to my eyes when a person thanks a solider, or shakes hands with a solider just to show their appreciation. Today, my husband received a package from an online community that he joined. It's unfiction.com. An online community for ARG players. When they found out David was deployed he gave out his APO address and what do you know?...Someone went out of their way and filled a box of goodies for him. I just love people like that. It makes me swell with pride. I can't thank people enough who realize that despite your personal political beliefs you can still support your troops. |

I can barely contain my excitment any longer. I've been hearing from other military wives that the last days are the hardest and longest. I'm actually finding them to go by really fast. This years holidays have not been much fun for me. And, especially, ringing in the new year. My husband is too far away for me to have anyone to kiss at midnight. *sighs* We do plan on meeting at midnight for an over the internet 'kiss', lol. Hey, whatever works, right?...
Countdown as of today:
0.68 months
2.91 weeks
20.40 days
87% done
13% to go!!! |
