Exciting and scary changes

Its weird to think of where I was almost 10 months ago. Unmarried recent college grad about to embark on a new and scary life as a Marine corps wife with no job or real Job experience in the field that I wanted to work besides coaching volleyball,no clue as to where I would be living in August or if I would even be living in the United States and if my husband would even be stateside for much longer. Well here I am 10 months later happily married to my wonderful husband, I have an amazing job which I am totally excited about, we bought a house in NC and hopefully we will be here for almost 5 years and (drum roll please) friday Josh and I will become parents (probably the scariest yet most exciting and rewarding event to happen in the last 10 months). I had a friend tell me once right after Josh and I got married and found out we were pregnant I don't know how you've done it you have some of the most stressful things that could happen to a person all happen in the course of a few months Graduating college,getting married, moving three times (out of my apartment to my parents ,out of my parents to Florida and from florida to NC) and then finding out that you are about to have a child. I said I honestly have no clue how I did it I just took things as they came and non of it was bad . Every single thing was an amazing blessing (although I am ready for just one life changing event to happen at time instead of all at once but I guess when it rains it pours lol). I guess the moral of this blog is life happens sometimes when you've prepared for it sometimes when you have no clue whats going to happen and you just have to go with the flow. I was so not ready to be a mom but I look back and the timimg could not have been anymore perfect. Josh will be here and has been here for most of the pregnancy and he will be here for the birth. He will also be here for Calebs first year of life (which is almost virtually unheard of in a marines life who is deployable). And I cannot be anymore excited to meet my son on friday who is hopefully a healthy beutiful baby boy. It just amazing to think how ones life can change drastically in a matter of 10 months.

Friday

Well Friday I will be induced to meet my little man Caleb hopefully by Saturday. This week was an interesting one. It started out normal but by the end of the week I was diagnosed with Mild preeclampsia. which happened to coincide with my 37th week which is friday. So friday it is and I feel totally and completely unprepared and scared. I am happy I'm going to meet Caleb finally but not fully ready for this. oh well I guess I have this week to prepare the house and myself and then its showtime. All I ask is for prayers that everything goes smoothly and they won't have to do a c-section. Pray that Caleb comes out healthy and happy.

Snow in March

YAY for snow in NC!!! (I would post pictures but my camera decided to be stupid and die this mroning ) i find it funny that when I moved out here everyone told me it never snows. Well I'm from Texas and i know that most of the people that were telling me this were from alot further up north than Texas lol so guess what it has snowed (actual snow not Texas snow,which is sleet) Twice!!!!! I love it !!!! Well we weren't expecting any snow yesterday seeing as how it all moved west of us but last night it started snowing not flurries but light showers of snow so caleb and I went outside and stood in it for a good 15 minutes just watching it snow (well I did Caled can't quite see it yet but it makes me excited for next winter when he'll actually be here and be able to enjoy it). Well I went to bed after that thinking well it won't stick and it'll be gone by the time I get up. NOPE!!!! I woke up this morning to beautiful white snow blanketing the house and the yard. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it darn technology. Anyways it didn't shut things down for the day which is still nice because it will probably all be melted by the time I get home from work but it was still a beautiful thing to wake up to this morning. Well now I have to go get ready to go to work. Its gonna be a beautiful drive (as long as the jacksonville idiot drivers stay off the road).

Ohh and just thought this was funny my son likes to dance to Beyonce's Single ladies haha he kicked up a storm the other day in the car when that song came on :) It made me laugh.
