down

I'm so down today. I don't know why it was over all a good day. I had a dr appt and everything is fine, but since they won't set me up with an induction it makes me nervous. I know baby will come when he is ready, but I don't want Tony to miss it because he has to keep the boys. But I can't settle for just anyone anywhere to keep my boys. I just don't leave them. The neighbors have offered, but will be out of town the weekend after Tony gets here which is when I would like Zander to come along. Why does the Army have to be so dang difficult? Don't they deal with unique situations all the time requiring special help? I mean we have to rent a car, find childcare, and I'm just miserable a lot. I mean everything is fine, but my pelvic bone hurts, my sciatic nerve hurts. I don't want him early, but just a date within the week of the 18th would be great. Whatever I again feel like I'm being screwed by the army, but what more could you expect from the Army. They just keep telling me that well someone should help you, you fucking think? They keep asking isn't there anyone that can come from MO to help you? Well idiots if I have nothing scheduled what the hell are they coming for weeks until baby makes his appearance on his own. They are really just ignorant. I should have looked for something better. I know army hospitals aren't about the patients, I should have picked one that is.

Changes...

My how things have changed. I am still waiting for my regular internet so I can actually watch some TV online since it's so boring here. I mean we keep busy, but passing time is hard. Kids have gotten tons of outside toys so that they at least have something to do. We moved into our really nice house on the 12th of July. Loving the house, however the kids seem to be fearful when I send them up or down stairs where everyone else is not. However I'm hoping once it's not so open and our stuff gets here it won't bother them as much. As of now Zachary is going to have his own room, Zayden and Zavier are going to share and Zander will be in with us. The master bedroom is huge and will have plenty of space. We ordered our washer and dryer last week and they finally came today so I'm doing a weeks worth of laundry today. I know I should space it out to keep my busy, but I hate the big pile of clothes. We ended up with a nice set of LG front loaders as I was after the sanitary cycle as well as the savings on water. Household goods were finally picked up from Germany yesterday and should take about 8-10 weeks to get here. Not so bad I guess, but by that point it will be almost 4 months since the kids and I left our household stuff behind.
Tony flies on Aug 5th and after that I am evicting this baby. I'm hoping for an induction that I'll be asking about at my appt tomorrow. We're going to have to rent a car to get the baby home since we'll have 4 boys, Tony and I and the explorer only seats 5. We'll probably rent one for a while so that we're not stuck at home during Tony's leave. He won't sign into post until Sept 5th I believe. He tacked on his paternity leave for an extra 10 days. I just hope I get an induction happy dr at the appt tomorrow. I'm done, which I know everyone is at this point, but the baby goes back and forth on my sciatic nerves and I feel like he's crushing my pelvic bone. I won't be doing it too early, but the more help I can get from Tony the better.
The weather here in Washington is nice. Most days there is no need for an a/c, which I haven't turned on in the house at all. Occasionally in the afternoons in the car I require some a/c, but for the most part it's very tolerable here. The kids are in the pool today and I'm pretty sure they are very cold. lol
Well I'm off to find something else to do as I am bored. Stefanie gets back in country tomorrow after her almost 2 years overseas. I think she is excited. However it's too bad she wouldn't come and visit us.

Day 1

Of traveling from MO to WA with the 3 kids at 33 weeks pregnant. So far so freaking long. Our 9 hour drive took 11 hours and it was our shortest day. AHHHH. We finally get here and meet Aunt Chris and Uncle Mitch at the local Lowe's. They need a few items and I don't want to sit in a hotel with 3 kids who have been trapped in a car all day. After that we head to dinner at Red Robin. The kids are crazily out of control. All over the other family members and standing in the bench. We survive dinner and Chris and Mitch invite us out to play at a park near there house while Mitch and Josiah unload their Lowe's Purchases from earlier. However as soon as we get to the park Zavier has an accident, and not a good one. I have tons of clothes in the car, but only the cheap wipes nothing that will make a dent in this mess. Zayden also needs to go to the bathroom, so I clean up (to the best of my abilities) Zavier and Chris walks Zayden up to their house. I end up leaving Zavier covered in poop and just put clean clothes over him and load him into the car to go to the hotel. Now just what does one do with 2 poopy outfits and shoes in a hotel? (I didn't want to have to use Chris' brand new washer to clean these clothes) So when I get back to the hotel I wash the poopy clothes and shoes in the bathroom sink and then rinse them in the shower. Now over night they were hung to dry, but aren't quite there yet.
This mornings adventure consist of going down to breakfast where it sucked so the kids were just eating cereal. However when Zavier was carrying his back up to the room (cause he wouldn't sit still and eat) he tripped getting on the elevator spilling his bowl of cereal and his half cup of milk. I just picked up the cereal and went on.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to drive about 1 1/2 hours tonight to North Colorado to make the day shorter tomorrow. If 9 hours takes 11, what is 10 going to take me? We'll end in Idaho tomorrow night before going all the way to Washington on Tuesday.
