May

It's been hot off and on here so far.. It's supposed to be 102 on Friday.. Kill me now I can't do this summer pregnancy thing here ha! But here's some photos from what's been going on lately... 

My Mother's Day gifts Jeff surprised me with in the mail.. I would have rather had him show up on my door step instead!! 

Mother's Day

Ryks first corn on the cob ha

Missing...

Always missing the hubs! Can't believe we are creeping up on month 4 without him!! PRAYING we only have until the beginning of August for us to be all together again!! I miss laying in bed with him and just talking.. Or snuggling or hugs and kisses or seeing him with Ryker!!!! Please let time fly by!!! On a side note.. I'm so focused on not having Jeff that I don't focus on my pregnancy so it makes my pregnancy fly by ha 

When he got to hang out with Ryan and tiff 

Love my handsom sailor 

Baby Boy

Well.. I think with the majority of my time being spent as a "single mom" for now... And not having Jeff around to take weekly bump pictures.. I neglect to document this little one!!! 10 weeks left! That's just crazy to me!! I can't wait to meet him!! He is so much more active than I remember Ryker being in there! My favorite thing to do so far.. Is when I'm working on my tan in the backyard by the pool I lift up my tankini to try to tan my belly and you can see my belly dancing all over the place! He goes nuts when the sunlight is directly on my stomach!! He's super low.. Like ryk was.. Pretty sure I should buy one of those belly support things because I have the worst round ligament pains with him!!! Last week was the first time I felt him get the hiccups and I'm pretty sure he had them at like 3 in the morning this morning keeping me up!! Still have lots of heartburn (especially if I eat anything that involves a tomato) Can't live without my snoogle... Especially since I don't have Jeff to cuddle with in the middle of the night!!! Here's to hoping the next 2 months fly by!!! 

Last week (29 weeks) 

Rykers 2nd Birthday and Easter

This year we celebrated Ryker's birthday in Vegas!! Of course we had to have a Toy Story cake!!

Ready for his party 

His "big" gift

His pizza he covered in ranch

His cake.. The look on his face was priceless! 

This boy LOVED his cake! Frosting and icecream in the middle was a dream come true

He actually LOVED opening his presents this year.. Don't mind the Christmas wrapping paper.. That's what happens when we just move into a new house ha

His Easter basket.. He wasn't even excited about it when he woke up because he just wanted to play with his toys fr his birthday ;)

Sunday best for Easter

Testing out the pool in the backyard.. Think he loved it!

Jeff's graduation!

We had so much fun in Chicago!! I am so proud of Jeff and his accomplishments! I'm heartbroken to be away from him for 4 more months... But at least he has his phone back now!!! 

Airport bound 

Trying to get used to the 2 hour time adjustment.. 

24 weeks!

Waiting for graduation to start! Had to get there 2 hours early to make sure we got a seat!! 

Jeff's division marching in! 127!

Jeff's division facing the left.. He's the front row 3rd one over on his group 

He's 2 rows to the right of the flag with a blue marking on it 4th from the back! 

He looks SO handsom in his uniform! I love it!! 

Ryk wearing daddy's hat! 

It was so hard to only have 7 hours with him on Friday.. But at the same time it didn't give me that opportunity to get super attached again.. Making a good bye a little easier than I had planned 

We went to the airport at 5 am to see him get off his bus as have breakfast with him before he flew off! We left ryk and mom at the hotel to catch up on some deprived sleep ;)

Jeff's 2 favorite ladies 

Hated this goodbye!

Later that day we all took a train down to a cubs game! 

And it was FREEZING

He loved our hotel bed ;)

My handsom sailor! So in love with this guy!!!! 

Movement

Everytime I feel baby boy moving around I can't help but freeze,smile, and dream about him! I remember right after I had Ryker I felt so empty and would give anything to feel my baby kicking and moving inside of me again! I feel so blessed to experience this all over again! Knowing now how fast pregnancy and having a sweet new baby flies by in the end.. I'm savoring every moment with this sweet boy! I'm already dreding how fast that newborn baby phase will go.. But I really can't wait to meet this sweet boy!!

21!

Woohoo we made it to 21 weeks! And I finally made it to a dr appointment! I hadn't been since 13 weeks... Waiting on insurance ect so that just means I have to go back next Monday for my ultrasound to make sure the anatomy looks good! Baby boy is wiggling around a ton in there... I feel like he is way more active than ryker was! Ryker was super mellow in my belly! It took the dr forever to get his heartbeat because he kept squirming away.. She kept saying I can hear him moving in there! And I could feel him moving.. Finally he stopped and let her get it.. It was at 142! Saturday I finally heard from Jeff! It had been 2 weeks since I talked to him and their mail got messed up so letters didn't go out for last week so I didn't even get a letter at all last week! He sounded the best he's sounded since he's been there! He was back to his old self making jokes ect on the phone! He passed off his mile and a half run.. He ran it in 13 minutes! He's passed his academic tests so far! They still have a few more to go! He finished up his gun training and this week they would be doing live fire with that! So all the fun stuff is coming up! Only 3 more Tuesdays left until I get to see my hubby I can't wait!!! I'm sad that I only get to see him for a DAY because they fly to Texas the day after graduation for his next training.. I don't know how I'm going to handle saying good bye again.. At least he will have his phone back for that!! Yay!! 

21 weeks 

Loves his trips to the park :)
