Heavy Heart

With the heaviest of hearts, I write this post. I've hesitated to write it, b/c I wanted to make 100% sure that it was a fact before I went and told everyone.

Justin is being sent to Iraq, for one year....and he leaves in 20 days.

You name the emotion, I have felt it. First it was yes, then it was no, and now it's a final yes. Look at your children, and then think really hard about what you would say to them if you were in this situation. I am at a loss for words. I have NO idea how to explain to Falyn and Faith that the daddy they SO adore will be leaving them, and help them understand why. I look at my son...my innocent baby boy who is just learning who we all are, and try to figure out how I am going to help him remember his daddy. If they were telling me it was for 6 months, I would be a little better. I've done that, and while it was hard, I could do it again. But a YEAR?!?! 365 days? 12 months? How do you wrap your mind around that? How do you look at your life and think of how it will be in one year? Look at your children...one year from now...Falyn will be in First grade, Faith in PreK3, Chandler....walking....

(I'll be back...can't finish this right now)

Heavy Weight Champion (baby) of the World!

Ha! Chunky Monkey INDEED!! Chandler's 2 month appoitment went something like this....

Arrive at hospital, check in, say hi to a few clients, Amy (NP) says hi to the girls and Chandler man...of to weight & height check

23"......19 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!! SERIOUSLY??? That was OFF the charts!! I mean, I knew he was big, but ALMOST 20 lbs at 2 months??? OMG!!! LOL

Put in room to wait for Dr. Howard.

He says he doesn't believe the stats, "he's not fat" he says, he's healthy looking and looks proportionate...check him over...recheck height....24.5" That's more like it. Off to weigh again....17 pounds....NOW he's ON the chart again! LOL 98% for age. HOLY!!

I can't get over it! So my breastmilk = jet fuel!! LOL

Have a great day everyone! Hug your husbands and kiss your babies...life is too short. Learned that the hard way this past week! ;)

One Month

Every month I took a picture of the girls with this bear up until they were a year old, and then I took it at their b-day every year. Well...here's chunky man's one month bear photo taken last week.
