<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Josh left for work on Tuesday morning and I know Noah knows he is gone...so weird that at such a young age he knows things!!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Growing up it was known that when our papa left for a work trip that things would go wrong at home. Appliances would break or big projects would be due or kids would get sick. And don't you know that it would continue with us. Noah got pink eye the day after Josh left and he was miserable Wednesday. I felt so bad. He was quiet, didn't want to be held, didn't want to be left alone, didn't want to be put down, didn't want to play with his toys etc...yesterday was much better and I am so grateful because it was my annual trip downtown with my dad and Noah's first trip! We go downtown every year to watch the business men and women go throughout their day (I don't know why but I love it so much), go through the 8th floor of Macy's, go out to eat and pick up an ornament for my collection. It was so nice to bring Noah into our tradition and I can't wait until Noah knows and gets excited too!! I got a poinsettia ornament and purchased one for Josh and Noah (they have a collection I have started for them as well). I don't know if my dad will ever know how special this tradition is to me and how loved I feel because of it!! </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">We have been so busy here at the house since daddy came home! Noah is in love with his daddy and it is to fun to watch both of the play and interact together! Never taking a single moment for granted. We have been visiting friends and family and dealt with a leak in our sink drain. I didn't know that the washing machine pipe was connected to the drain so I have been washing the dishes with the washing machine and making things worse haha! A man came out last night to fix it and it was crazy here! Noah enjoyed the commotion.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">On Friday Noah got to swim in a pool for the first time and then spent the evening with Josh's parents while we went to a friends Christmas party in Cold Spring. So nice to be able to get out with friends. The next day Noah and I spent time together while Josh went Christmas shopping and then on Sunday we went to church with my mom and had lunch with our friends Brent and Kayla and their little boy Reece. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends like them.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Noah loves his blue blanket, he doesn't use a pacifier but sucks on his fingers. He is almost sleeping through the night...9 hours last night!! He has been eating less often and less at a time but still is a big little boy! He is in #3 diapers already and wears 6-9 month clothes and can't get enough of daddy! He loves to say "ga" and will make an "o" with his lips and stick his tongue out the bottom. He is such happy little 4 month old boy!<br />

Today I am having a denim party at my house! I am so excited to get a new pair of jeans!!<br />
Next Sunday we have Christmas with the Anderson's up at the in-laws and I can't wait till some of the family finally gets to meet Noah!!</div>The Andersonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08160549754382516667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793907215205034059.post-21625730576803743482011-11-17T19:25:00.001-06:002011-11-17T20:23:35.666-06:00Best Virginia Visit!!<div style="text-align: center;">I can't begin to tell you how amazing our trip to visit Elissa, Mike and the 3 boys!! So fun to have Elissa meet little Noah and watch the 4 boys interact. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So from the beginning...our flight out was great! Delta moved the person next to me up to first class allowing me to bring the car seat on the plane and have extra space for us! Noah did well but didn't want to sleep at all so once we got to VA he had a hard time getting a full night sleep that night. That didn't last long because once Noah woke up the boys made him real tired! So tired in fact, that every night that followed he only woke up once! So awesome! Going from up every 1.5 to 2.5 hrs a night to sleeping for 7 hours at a time. Josh and I appreciated every moment of his sleep.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were so fun. We went grocery shopping, walking along the beach, trips to target for diapers and formula etc., and all with 4 boys! Such an adventure!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(The week before we left I stopped by the doctors office to have Noah checked out for his reflux and we decided to start him on a little cereal (1 tbsp per 4 oz of liquid) and what a difference I have seen! )</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Josh flew out on Thursday night and I was so excited for him to get here! And Noah loved seeing him. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was also so nice to spend time with Michael. It brought back such wonderful memories of high school. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and influences in my life and Noah's. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We all enjoyed looking on Pinterest for recipes and cooking together as well as some crafts. We also did many photo shoots of Noah (his 3 month pictures) and both families Christmas pictures.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Logan was so sweet and loving to Noah and so heart warming to see. So many kisses and hugs and tender touches. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was able to go to MOPS with Elissa (now I want to join one), we went to church, out to eat a bunch created so many new memories! I cant begin to explain how amazing my sister is! I am so excited for our next visit.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our flight home was perfect...even though we woke up at 4am. Noah slept over half of the flight and was so happy to be home! But we weren't ready for the 27 degree weather - it was 80 degrees the day before we left. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures of our time out there!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He will sleep longer, eat more, cry less, etc. It is always so nice to have him home!! We have been enjoying our family time together and hanging with friends, eating good food (yes I am actually cooking), cleaning, football games, appointments, etc. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And to make our time even more special...Josh got a promotion!! He is now a "Safety Hand" and will be in charge of 5 different rigs teaching safety and doing paperwork when people get hurt! Now he won't be in the -40/100 degree weather! He and I are very excited about this change!! So proud of my man!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will tell you about our experience last night...so while Josh was gone I noticed a bunch of insulation chunks and poop in the basement. I hadn't heard or seen a mouse so I wasn't very concerned. So two days ago I went out and bought 2 mouse traps (the kind of disposable traps so you don't have to see the caught mouse) I put some peanut butter in it and set it up. Josh went down stairs last night and saw the trap had caught a mouse, while carrying it up the stairs I asked how he knew there was actually a mouse in it and he showed me the tail sticking out of it. I couldn't believe it. We will now see if the second trap will catch a mouse!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will say that I am more frightened of the spiders...a week ago I went out and bought 10 <a href="http://hedgeapple.com/">hedge balls</a> to put around our hose after seeing 6 spiders in one day once the temperature dropped. And now I haven't seen one!! :) I am a happy momma!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well...I will post some halloween pictures this week!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Halloween!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I wasn't getting enough sleep and I could tell Noah wasn't either. He was overly tired!</div><div style="text-align: center;">He was only taking 10 - 20 min naps during the day <u>unless</u> we were driving, in the stroller, on my chest (didn't always work) or in the front carrier where he would sleep 1-2 hrs. The other day he only slept 3 hours during that whole day. He was becoming more fussy...well really fussy. I couldn't get him to calm down and he wasn't eating as well (only 2oz instead of 4-5oz).</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was this vicious cycle and I felt like I was going crazy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I called up my sister more times than I can count (so thankful for her) and would just cry and tell her how nothing was working. She would give me tons of ideas but nothing was working. She then told me about this book "Healthy Sleeping Habits, Happy Baby" and so I took a look. After talking with her more and reading the chapters that pertained to Noah's age and issues, I had a plan in mind but was very nervous to try it. My father-in-law David came down today to hang out so I could clean and get some stuff done but when he got here today I just wanted to sleep. He let me take 2.5 hr nap (I knew I would need it for tonight when I was going to try the new hints on getting him to sleep and keeping him asleep). After I woke up David and I discussed what he has done with his kids and with Noah. And I was amazed! He is a baby whisperer! I tried his hints once he left and IT WORKED! I feel like a million bucks! I was able to take a shower, do dishes, blow dry my hair, and write this blog! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel so good about this and can't wait to see how tonight and the rest of the week goes until daddy comes home! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't thank my family and friends enough for your support and ideas/tricks/hints, prayers etc. We are so blessed to have you all! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So as Noah is getting older my mind is going crazy with ideas for pictures and fun things i can do with him one day! even though i love him being this small i am loving the thought of interacting more with him. we are enjoying his smiles at us when he sees us, its crazy that someone so small recognizes us and smiles! makes my heart so full with joy! </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">well our little family of 3 had so much fun the last 2 weeks. we visited with family and friends and enjoyed the down time we spent at home. josh left today and this hitch may be a big hitch for him...i will keep you updated when we know more (probably tomorrow). i am just praying for God's hand and for His will to be done!<br />
<br />
every day i am more and more amazed by the blessings God has given us! He has been such a provider everyday. i can't look at joshua without feeling more love than i ever have before in our 7 years together. there aren't words to express how wonderful a father he is to our pumpkin. so helpful and loving! i can't look at noah without staring in awe at the wonderful miracle God has created and given to us. i love thinking about who he will be. and i can't wait until he can feel the joy so many of us feel by God's grace, love, presence etc.<br />
our house is amazing and we are still settling in and moving in and decorating but finding this perfect house had nothing to do with us or our realtor ;)<br />
our family and friends are such a great support to us and we enjoy our times together. my bible study ladies have blessed me with their friendships and time we get to run after God's will for our lives!<br />
AND SO MUCH MORE!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

I have been sick, a lot!! For all of you mothers out there you probably can feel my pain some what - I have had mastitis 4 times (currently on antibiotics) and many more wonderful mother dealings! And because of all I have dealt/dealing with, I am transitioning to formula and ending the breast feeding. It was a very difficult decision, one that took many doctor visits, prayer, lots of conversations with family and friends and hard days trying to figure out what is best for our little family. But I know that 7 weeks of breast milk is better than none!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Noah is growing like crazy. When I close my eyes and picture him I still see a 7 lb baby and when I look at him he is so different! He is changing every day!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He was born August 13th at 8:42 pm, weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces and 20 inches long. It was a wonderful experience that I hope I never forget! Here is the story.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">About 3 am Saturday morning my water broke while I was sleeping. I hopped out of bed, called to Joshua and said "it's time!" I have always wanted to say that! I thought the contractions would start right away but they didn't. We took our time getting to the hospital, taking a shower and grabbing food at McDonalds in case they wouldn't let me eat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were admitted right away and brought to the delivery room where I had a 17 hour delivery. Everything moved very slowly yet flew by. I was a big baby and got drugs right away once the contractions were too much to handle. I don't know how anyone does it naturally. I don't think I could ever do that! I have so much respect for those who do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The medicine started wearing off after awhile so I had to get some more. And once I did that things progressed really quickly. My doctor thought I wouldn't deliver until Sunday but once I got those drugs the nurse was surprised to find I was ready to go. It seemed so unreal. I was ready to have this baby!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because of the second dose of drugs I couldn't even lift my legs so Josh and a nurse had to help me out. My doctor stayed with me THE WHOLE TIME! I was so blessed to have her there every step of the way. The drugs were so good that they had to tell me when I was having a contraction. In between the contractions we laughed and told jokes. It was nothing like in the movies or like the videos of live births I watched to prepare myself. After awhile Noah's heart rate went down and all the nurses ran in in preparation for a C-section but they just couldn't get a good reading so they hooked up a monitor internally and gave my oxygen. Noah's head wasn't coming out straight so they had to use a vacuum. After pushing for an 1.5 hours he was here. Such a miracle. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a better labor. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We stayed in the hospital until Monday afternoon and they ran some tests and saw that Noah was at high risk for jaundice but his levels were ok to be sent home. The next day we got some more labs done and it showed he had jumped from a 10 (on Monday) to an 18 (on Tuesday). We were told to head to the ER at Children's Hospital right away to get treatment. Josh and I were really scared. I knew it would be ok but still a scary situation to be in. It was really hard to see them poke and prod our little man. I had to leave when they put in a catheter. I don't think Josh and I have cried that much in our lives! Noah was such a strong little man but he was so frail. At one point his body just went limp from exhaustion. The hardest thing I had to see!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next morning his level had gone down to a 15 but they wanted to keep him under the lights to bring it down even more so we stayed a second night. It was really nice for Josh and I to be alone with Noah for a few days! It brought us really close. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next morning Noah's levels were at a 10 again and it was safe to go home. I felt like we were in the hospital(s) for so long it should have been fall and I was expecting cooler weather haha! But it is still hot out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">These last few days we had together before Josh left for work have been really nice! We got into a groove and have been tag teaming all the duties. When Noah wakes up Josh grabs him and bring him to me so I can feed him. Then once he has fallen asleep (I can never keep him awake) we warm a bottle that I have pumped and Josh feeds him while I pump some more. We change his diaper finish the feeding and then Josh lays him back down again. We even tag team the diaper duty. One of us holds his legs while the other cleans him up. We have some awesome stories of changing accidents already! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We got some newborn pictures taken by a friend of ours Alisha Miller and then another friend, Molly came over to take some at our house. I love them all and so grateful to be able to capture these first days and all the pee and poop accidents we have had during them!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Josh just left for 1 week of work (will be back next Wed) and I can honestly say I am a bit nervous. Noah always quiets down in Josh's arms and he knows when he isn't around us. It will be so nice to always have those 2 weeks off to double team the parenting and enjoy all of the moments together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have already lost more than 20 pounds and have 20 more to go to be at my pre pregnancy weight. I am still sore and healing and I can't wait to be back to my normal self. I can say that it is nice to sleep without a big bump in the front!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few pictures of Noah's first week!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am so excited for him to just be home, I will be less nervous about everything once Josh is here!</div><div style="text-align: center;">These next two weeks are going to be us just trying to relax and have fun before this little man comes.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Josh will be sky diving next Sunday and will do his pilot class sometime in there too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to get to a twins game and we want to take the boat out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's crazy to think that this little man will be in our arms soon! I can't wait to kiss him constantly!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had an ultrasound yesterday to get his measurements because he is measuring small but everything is fine, he is about 6 lbs 5 ounces and has a 12 inch head they say...we will see how accurate they are soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some of our maternity pictures we had taken last time Josh was home.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am planning on taking his newborn pictures with a friend and I have so many ideas already!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We have attended a few churches in the area and this last week we heard a wonderful message at a church called The Crossing. We were drawn to it because it is a similar church to Substance. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This last week the regular/main pastor wasn't speaking but a different campus pastor spoke on a message called "Noise." We heard a wonderful message that I wanted to share with you because it is such a good message to hear on a regular basis. He spoke about </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">earth with and fire</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and the consequences of following those things instead of the </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">gentle whisper</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> of the Lord. Following the noise of culture can cause many problems if we don't filter out the noises and just listen to the message of the bible. (2 Tim 3:16-17 the bible is the manual on how to live before going to heaven)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Culture teaches us 3 messages, the "YOU DESERVE IT" message, the "FOLLOW THE CROWD" message and "LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF" or "YOU ARE #1" message.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 Kings 19:5-12 talks about Elijah traveling to Mount Sinai and a mighty windstorm passed by, but the Lord wasn't in the wind, then there was an earthquake but the Lord wasn't in the earthquake. And after that there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. But after that there was the sound of a gentle whisper.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"YOU DESERVE IT" - TV tells us that we deserve it all. Do you chase after that wind? Culture tells us to drink more, have more sex, take more drugs...you deserve more, you should have it. It brings you negative consequences and the Bible is your filter to block out the message of the "I deserve it" wind. We don't deserve God, we deserve hell but He came so that we may have life, and have it tot he fullest. (John 10:10)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"FOLLOW THE CROWD" - Everybody else is doing it, so I should do it. Buying the "new" thing that is "old" a few months later. We do things so we feel accepted and popular. Luke 23:18-24 talks about how Pilate sentenced Jesus to die as the crowd demanded even though he wanted to set him free but the crowd shouted and demanded that Jesus be crucified and the crowd won. Are you following the crowd or the gentle whisper of God?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF" - It's all about me! Not only do I deserve it and I follow the crowd but it is all about me. You play with fire when you look out for yourself. Culture tells you that when you look out for yourself it's just a little sin...it's not a big deal...it's just a little white lie...chase that fire!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Genesis 3:3-4 Being tempted to eat the fruit from the tree.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Culture tells us to sleep around a little bit - there is no looking at the menu when you are married.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Culture tells us to acquire anything we can - the house, boat, car - the guy with the most toys wins....what are you actually winning by being selfish? Are you sticking your hand in the fire?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are so excited to meet this little guy! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In other news we just had our maternity pictures taken and I can't wait to see them! </div><div style="text-align: center;">We have finished the baby room and after our doc appointment on thursday our weekly appointments begin! And we meet with the pediatrician next week and get a tour of the doctors office!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I need to put the hospital bags together and we need to clean out our apartment so we can check out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> My braxton hicks are still about 15 min apart and sometimes little as 5 min apart...</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have started to have painful contractions - I am surprisingly excited for labor!</div><div style="text-align: center;">My feet are so swollen that my shoes don't fit and to make matters worse I have scabs all over from scratching my 500 million mosquito bites.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next time Josh comes home it will be time for the guys arrival ahhh!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1spadNxqwKGdOHxzPIEhdnlddNG55BMjiXiZowOwdOwBLfO3B4HkSvilEsCUeTN2-I34gZruowRH9E38kSXc1766u24_4HMOvsA2ls0nMG9muRKcB-wVf7t_w1xZSO8Plak3f9qBrcsD/s1600/DSC_0214.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG1spadNxqwKGdOHxzPIEhdnlddNG55BMjiXiZowOwdOwBLfO3B4HkSvilEsCUeTN2-I34gZruowRH9E38kSXc1766u24_4HMOvsA2ls0nMG9muRKcB-wVf7t_w1xZSO8Plak3f9qBrcsD/s400/DSC_0214.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So after lots of thought we have picked </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Noah Joshua Anderson</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">Noah is a Hebrew name meaning "rest or comfort"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are so excited for this little man to arrive and to hold him in our arms!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Joshua has even asked if we can take him out already so we can meet and play with him.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">we spent a few days going to as many garage sales as possible trying to find good deals on the things we need...we bought a lawn mower, breast pump, books, </div><div style="text-align: center;">and lots and lots of baby clothes!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we went to the store and found the most amazing dining room table and got a wonderful deal on a couch and love-seat! but right now the couch doesn't fit down our stair so once joshua is back in 2 weeks we will try to fit it in the house! so while joshua has been gone for his 2 weeks on i have hit the 28 week mark/3rd trimester and now we just have 12 weeks left! </div><div style="text-align: center;">i can't believe that it's almost here! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

but I have another sister, Kelly who I also look up to.<br />
She is my oldest sister and wonderful friend!<br />
I can't say enough about how proud I am of her!<br />
It’s difficult to write this blog without crying because today,<br />
Kelly leaves for Afghanistan for a year.<br />
A very long, long year!<br />
<br />
Kelly has been destined for a military career<br />
since she graduated high school.<br />
She went off to ROTC at Florida State University.<br />
Captain Kelly Markin - Army Intelligence.<br />
Something she is so good at!<br />
<br />
The Army has taken her all around the world.<br />
Stationed in the US, in states like Colorado, Texas, Alaska and many more.<br />
And stationed overseas in Kuwait, Iraq and now Afghanistan.<br />
<br />
She is so dedicated to her job and her country and she loves what she does!<br />
I admire her for that!<br />
<br />
It is extra hard today because it marks the beginning of a year of unknown.<br />
I don't know how safe she will be and how often we will be able to talk.<br />
<br />
Kelly is smart, beautiful, caring, loving, a wonderful friend,<br />
always here to talk, always giving of herself and things.<br />
She has a true heart of gold!!<br />
I am so blessed to have her in my life!<br />
And I am going to miss her more than she knows!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;">Please say a little prayer for her and our family as this year begins!!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
