Officially Pregnant!

I went to the lab yesterday and now the army considers me officially pregnant. They asked me who I wanted to see as a doctor, which threw me for a loop because in the army world you get an appointment with whatever doctor, nurse or midwife is available (hardly ever seeing the same person twice) and when you go into labor the doctor or midwife on call delivers the baby. So there is really no continuity of care. But because Ft. Rucker is so small they don't even have an OB/GYN clinic on base so everyone is referred to civilian care. So my doctor is a woman in the next town over - about 20 miles and I will see her the entire time and she will deliver the baby as well. I even get a private room (which again is not the norm in the army world). Have to say I am a bit excited about this situation. I won't have a first appointment for a while - I have to wait for my referral in the mail which will take about 2 weeks or so and then I can make my first appointment. So more to come....

Baby # 3 is on the way!!

So we just found out that I am pregnant and we are completely excited! It happened really fast - much sooner than I thought as I have only been off the pill since the beginning of March. I took a test on Tuesday and it came out positive so I took another one this morning just to be sure before we told the world. I have not called the DR yet because in the military world you have to take a pregancy test at the lab and then they see you in OB a month or 2 later, but being so newly pregnant I know from experience that my test will come out a "weak positive" and they will make me come back in a few weeks. I checked the due date calculator online and the baby should be here around December 2, but I have a history of late babies so we will see. Poor Donnie - he is the only one in the family with a summer bday - now we have Tyler in October, Vanna in November and me, the new baby and xmas all in december (better start saving our pennies now :). Regardless we are excited and have already started talking about names. Neither of us care what it is since we already have a boy and a girl but if I had my choice I hope it is a boy - they are just easier!

I did not realize it has been so long since I last blogged. We are settled in and doing well. Not too much to report as we have only been here a month. Tyler likes school and is doing really good. Vanna is getting registered for kindergarden next week. I cant believe it. She is now doing homework at the table when Tyler does his homework. She is writing her name, ABC's and numbers. She doesn't have to know them before school but I want her to be ahead of the game. She thinks she is a big girl now. She is in gymnastics and loves it. Tyler is not much of a baseball dude and that is in season now so I think he is going to do karate til football starts in the fall. He is also going to start taking guitar lessons - unfortunately he is being forced (sounds familiar doesn't it) but he will get over it. Vanna actually wants to play the piano and has been asking for a few years now but she has to wait until the fall when school starts. She is also going to be a pee-wee cheerleader for football season. I can't wait.

The weather is great here....of course it is raining today but it is warm. We have been to Pensacola, FL 2x since we have been here to see Donnie's grandma. We also got our fishing licenses since there are 4 lakes on Ft. Rucker. Donnie and I belong to a poker league as well so we have plenty to keep us busy. One of these days I will take some pics and post them.
