hey everyone, I thought it was about time I give y'all an update on how the baby is doing. He is kicking more and getting bigger with every month that goes by. I'm seven months pregnant now, three more months to go. My due date is now December 16 2008. I have been trying to call everyone a lot more, but I know that I need to get better. Please don't be affraid to call me. If I don't answer, than leave a message and I will call you back ASAP. Anyway, some of you have been asking about what I still need for the baby (Michelle). And if you really want to know, than here it is: a Ebony/black changing table, a ebony crib, a crib mattress, crib sheets---green, yellow, blue. Some wood shelves, rocking chair pad---yellow, blue, green., a breast pump, bottles, bips, diapers, baby food, baby onientment, baby powder, and baby tylenol. All I need clothing wise for the baby is: long sleeve onesies 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 white and colored, chort sleeve onesies 9-12: white, sleepers 3-6,6-9, 9-12., short sleeve onesies 6-9 colored, 24 months pants, 24 months long sleeve onsies, 24 month over shirts/sweaters/sweatshirts/tshirts, and 18 months shorts, spring/summer jackets, long sleeve, short sleeve onesies.

The hurricane!!!!!

You are all probably wondering how the DEED's are doing? We are fine, the hurricane didn't hit very hard here in Fort Polk. We got a lot of rain and 60 mph winds but that is about it. Our power is on and we are back to work. Even though, I never stopped working over our training holiday because of the prep work that had to be done for the hurricane. My unit was the hurricane relief so we had to make sure that everyone had updated shoots and records, so if we got a call for a mission then we would be able to go. We never got called out, but we did have to do post detail. Which means that we had to clean up the debree from the post.
This hurricane wasn't much damage just lost hours of sleep. I am still trying to play catch up, but it's not working. When I try to sleep it just makes me more tired when I wake. Any way I have to run. Love you all....
