New Baby

We have had a whirlwind of activities the last few months. Jason transferred to my old command which means he is deploying more frequently, but for shorter amounts of time. Emma and I have been going to Arizona while he is deployed to spend time with the family. We got involved in the church there and both fell in love with the Pastor, his wife and the church family.

Currently, however we are back in Washington. I, personally, am waiting patiently and excitedly for when we can go back to Arizona. This next trip will take place the beginning of December. We traded in Veronica, the Camaro, for a big blue 3500 dodge pick up truck. So, the prospect of taking the RV down with us to Arizona this time is exciting. I won't have to give up on any of my animals or pack for another move. I hate it when Jason misses out on great memories with the family, but I am excited that I will be spending Christmas with my side of the family. It seems like it's been a long time since we have done that.

The biggest thing that has happened recently, however, is that we have a new addition to the family. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. This is the main reason I decided to post a blog after all this time, because Emma has been saying a lot of funny things in regards to the new baby.

This morning, for example, she came in and laid down patiently next to me in the bed. I have been sleeping in pretty late most days. She is good about playing in her room or being quiet while she waits for me to get up and feed her. I'm greatly appreciative for her patience. When I did turn over towards her she was very talkative. That's another thing about Emma, she can hold a really nice conversation. She asked if Grandpa was coming in his grey car (which is actually Grandma's car). She talked about how dad was at work and then she talked about this dream she had a few days back. Emma dreamed that a baby girl was hiding in the closet. She seemed afraid of the dream the night she had it. I told her she was probably playing hide and seek with the baby. That seemed to satisfy her. The next day she told the nurse at my appointment about her dream which made me realize that she was still being affected by it. I told her that the baby might be her future baby sister. Ever since I told her that she's been talking about the baby in her dream as her baby sister. This morning she told me she wanted to share her toys with the new baby. She asked, "Would that be nice if I shared my toys with the baby?"
She's going to be a great big sister, I think. She seems to think about it a lot and seems excited.
