LOTS OF NEWS TO SHARE

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted anything and tons has changed. Right around the time of my last post, we found out that I am pregnant again! WHOOP! I didn't want to say anything yet because we were having problems right away. I was having severe pains around my c-section scar. After many doctor's visits and ultrasounds, the doctor's have come to realize that the pain is probably just internal tearing of the tissue around my c-section scar, but nothing that will cause harm to myself or the baby. Thank goodness! I haven't slept well for the past 7 weeks just worrying constantly ... afraid to move. I couldn't even pick up Cooper for the first couple of weeks and that was doctor's orders. That was so hard, because there is nothing better than good morning hugs, rocking him to sleep at night and smothering him with smooches. He would want to crawl in my lap and I couldn't pick him up. :( Now, that has all changed and he is allowed to crawl on me like the wild monkey that he is! I am almost 11 wks along now and looking forward to getting out of this 1st trimester, which has brought on a lot of morning-noon-and-night nausea!

Let me stop there, to note that as I am trying to write this, my son is standing on his 4-wheeler and free-falling onto the couch and then attempting to jump off the back of the couch! JESUS! Calling on Jesus! I really don't want to smack him, but today has been a trying day and he is asking for it! I will refrain for now! But let me tell you, I have already pulled him away from the dog's water bowl umpteen times today because he has felt the need to dip his paint brushes in it and paint the walls, couch, toys, tables, everything ... with the dog's water. Then he has proceeded to dump it out onto the ground and get the fireplace sweeper and mop it up, only to spread ash on the floor and then ... oh yes .... paint the wall with the wet, ashy fireplace sweeper. Again, I have been callin' on Jesus all day! Somehow, Cooper has survived to 5:30pm today!

Now, back to the news that I was mentioning earlier ...

As if being pregnant wasn't enough, we found out we are moving to Texas in May. Here is the plan....

Feb: Paul comes home from deployment when I am 30wks along and we begin preparing for the birth of baby #2.

April: Deliver baby #2

May: Pack up and move. I will be moving to Houston w/the kids for 6mos (staying with my parents) and Paul will be in training in San Antonio for 6mos.

Oct/Nov: Our whole family will be back together and moving to Del Rio. We should be there for 2-3 years.

Well, that is all I got folks! Cooper is now on the table and free-falling to the couch ... grrrr... what a little stunt devil! He has no fear! I need to go before he breaks a bone ... or my table! HAHA
