Creativity....

So it's been a while. My bad. So my news is, my little sister Lori is down for some visiting. And while she has been here, we have been super crafty sisters. We have assembled Mila's crib and tied the blanket you see..

 And I have also made Mila a diaper bag using the Air Force ABU top, a pink butterfly liner, a lot of thread, and lots of creativity. I got the idea from seeing some purses that had used military camo. So I thought it would be cute making a diaper bag, and using some Curtis nametags and the U.S. Air Force nametape. This is the first sewing job I have done in about, oh, 3 years? It was fun tho, and it was made possible by my mom who bought me the sewing machine for Christmas, and by a friend who had some extra tops that he didn't need. Awesome.... So here are some pics! Woo!!

Miss Lori and I are having fun! I must say, it is nice to have someone else in the house with me!! The only "downside" is we can't go play until Loo has done her schoolwork. :P But it all works out in the end... Oh, Lori is making herself a super cute purse too, but its not done, so there are no pictures yet :P

Other news is Seth gets to come home a week sooner then we thought! Hurray!!! It makes me super happy!! I miss him like crazy! Eventho we do talk daily.. It's not the same....

Well, thats what I got so far!!

My Birthday :D

I have to say, that this was one of my best birthdays ever. The only thing that would have made it better is if Seth had been there, but my friends did good making it a blast.

Seth told me my birthday present this year was finding out if we were having a boy or a girl, so I made an appointment at StorkVision up in the city. 2 of my friends made the trek with me, and it was fun. Here is my little girl, Mila Rae Curtis. 

We also bought Mila her first outfits, they are too cute. Ones a little pajamas that have pokadots and says I <3 Daddy. And the other is a little dress/shirt that she should be able to grow with.

Seth also managed to call me twice and tell me happy birthday, once in his time zone and once in mine :D. He wasnt able to call during my appointment, so EVERYONE had to wait till after he knew, much to their dismay. But he was happy I did it that way, and so am I. I am excited! We will be greeting our daughter in 4 months, and I can hardly wait! 

Da Babyz!

So I had a dentist appointment yesterday and then a doctors appointment today. And so I am going to talk about those, cuz they are pretty much all I've done. :P

Well, that's a lie. I went bowling with some friends last week and had a blast. And then tonight I am going to "Happy Hour" for the yummy free appitizers. Lol. Anything for free food right?? 

But anyways, I would like to give a shout out to my mom for my genetics! Woo! I have great teeth according to the dentist. And apparently he knows I have good genetics because my gums don't itch while I am pregnant... Right. And I didn't have much plaque... RIIIIIGHT. Anyways, Thanks Mom! I will be forever greatful...

And then today, I got to hear my babies heartbeat again. Yay! It was a strong, healthy 155-160 beats per min. And if your going with wives tales, that means it's a girl... But I find out that stuff on the 27th. Anywho, I am annoyed with the military. Seth got permission to call me while he was at work, during my appointment time so he can hear the heartbeat too. But then, they have building alarms go off, so he couldn't call. LAME!! I realize that it really isn't the militaries fault, but I am going to blame them anyways.

Oh, and I also had blood drawn today, and Mom, you would be so proud. If your are in my family, or have worked in my pediactrics office, you would know that I have a horrible problem. Of passing out with needles. But I am happy to say, that I haven't passed out in a while. And I have survived another appointment! Yay!
Oh I also bought another dog, and this time for Seth. Her name is Holli and she is a pure Blue Nose Pitbull. She has blue fur and blue eyes. And she is adorable. 

Anyways, that's about all I got for you today. Bye!

The Countdown...

To my 24th birthday, and all that I will be doing, has begun. Seth and I have agreed that our birthday presents to eachother this year is going to be finding out what we are having. I am soo super excited!! And so is he. I love how excited he is about being a dad. It makes me smile soo much. Every phonecall has questions about the baby, what is it doing, can I feel it moving yet. :D I love that man.
My appointment is with StorkVision on the 27th at 1 pm. By 2 pm, if I have been able to contact Seth first, there will probably be posts and phonecalls and mass amounts of tears going on. But, if it takes longer for him to know, you will have to wait more. Doesn't waiting just wanna kill ya??? 23 days and 19 hours.

She's gunna kill me!

I think my friend is trying to kill me with exhaustion. Lol.
This is my friend that picked me up from the airport after my Christmas trip, and eventho I landed at 1, I didn't get home till 11 that night.
And then my simple trip to Lawton for some yummy Ihop, has turned into an all day drive. Lol.  But it's all for a good reason, and should be a ton o' fun.
Not that I am complaining, I love this girl, and our trips are always a blast. I can sleep another day right? Right.

Thankfulness...

Well, seeing as its Thanksgiving, I thought I would write something. :)
I am very thankful for all that I have. My husband is my everything. He tells me everything is going to be ok, when he has soo much on his plate already. He is my constant source of love and affection. I am so greatful that he is mine. He is stepping up to be the father of our child in soo many ways, and that makes me love him so much more. I miss him right now, but I am thankful that he is doing this for us.

I am so greatful that I am going to be a mom. It's crazy! As Seth has said, it makes our little family complete. I cannot wait for our little one to make its appearance into the world. It's amazing that I love my baby so much already..

My Mom is an amazing woman, and I have to say, that she really is my best friend. I know that she loves me no matter what. And words cannot describe exactly how grateful that she is MY Mother. She has taught me soo much, and I am so grateful that she is just a phone call away, and she will help me thru whatever I may be experiancing. And I am soo thankful that she has been amazing role model as to be a good mom. I love you soo much!

My siblings are awesome. They are quirky and I love them to death. I am greatful that we have eachother, even if it is long distance. :)

I am greatful for my grandparents. They have been there for my family through everything. They are truely amazing  people and I am so glad that my family has them so close. Love you guys!

I am thankful for my "Military Family". The friends I have made, and the people who work with my husband on a day to day basis. I am glad that a good many of them are just a phone call away. It's nice to know that they're there for both Seth and I.

There is so much more that I am thankful for. But I'll keep it to my family today. I love you guys and I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving day.

Scare..

So, as I am sure I have told some, I am not as far along as we thought. I am about 8 weeks right now. Which means, Seth will be home in time for the birth of our baby! As long as everything goes according to plan. But with a pregnancy and the military, you never really know. So, fingers are crossed.

I finally had my appointment on Thurs last week, and from the size, about 1/2 inch, I somehow got pregnant without a cycle. Amazing, I know. But this still puts me in the "My doctor said that the meds would make it possible to get pregnant, but this is 2 months sooner then what we were thinking" So it is still my little miracle baby. =)

I had a little scare on Sunday night. I got really sick, shakey, and had HUGE cramps and pain in my stomache, and so Seth called a friend and had me go to the ER. I am amazing how fast I got in. But, there was only one other person than me. Don't worry, I am ok, Baby is ok, I just got more pills and staying in bed alot for now. But I did get put on an IV of fluids and anti-neusea. I even managed to keep food down yesterday. So thanks ER.

I am a lot annoyed with the Woman's Health Clinic that I am assigned to go to, because they never call me back!! Gah! So many times I call and leave a message before I hear anything.. 3 weeks of knowing I am pregnant before they can "squeeze" me in. And then when I called them first thing Monday morning to inform them that I was in the Hospital the night before, they transfer me to leave a message, and then I have to call again later, and then wait till the afternoon to hear back. Lame! And then it was just, if it gets worse or happens again, go to the ER again and let us know. Apparently I have to have the same horrible thing happen twice for them to take me seriously....

Well, thats about all I got for now. I am ok. Baby is fine. Neusea is kicking my booty, but the pain is gone. So I call it a win for now. Love you!
