Ramblings (again)

Lots of things on my mind lately.  First and foremost, we found that we are going to be having our first little girl in 2014!  We are so excited!  We found out via an elective ultrasound because I wanted Rick to find out with me, and I guess the ultrasound people here don't let the spouses in until the very end, which is lame. We celebrated by going out to Target and buying a few little things for her.  We are very undecided about the name.  I want to use Adelaide for the middle name (because that was my grandmother's middle name), but the first name is still a mystery.  

The doctor that I went to a couple of weeks ago said that I was gaining weight a little too quickly, and recommended that I cut back on sugar to hopefully prevent me from getting gestational diabetes.  I haven't had it with either of my other pregnancies, but I am still a little concerned about just because of how quickly I am putting on the weight.  Since cutting back on sugar, I have already lost almost 7 lbs in a little under 2 weeks.  I am going to keep cutting back on the sugar, because I have been feeling better not eating so much of it anyway. 

This week we finally were offered a house at Wright-Patterson.  As much as we looked forward to living off base, we couldn't afford the size house we wanted in the areas we were looking at.  The base housing is giving us a large house with a great set up and four bedrooms, so we are excited about that. The house is older, but I really don't care about that as long as it's been renovated, which it has. 

Rick graduated his class in Florida as a distinguished graduate and an academic excellence award, which doesn't surprise me at all.  We said good-bye to Florida this past Friday.  It was fun, and I don't think we'd mind actually being stationed there sometime.  It is really a beautiful place and we loved the ward we visited while we were there.

The next couple of weeks is us getting ready for our PCS to Ohio, and I have a feeling it's going to be a whirlwind of a few weeks.  Tomorrow is our housing check-out pre-inspection, and a week from Tuesday the packers are coming.  Assuming all goes well, we should be leaving on October 11 and getting there on the 12.  Personally, I feel like we're going to Ohio at a great time in the year.  We're really going to see the seasons change and I think it's going to get COLD!  I've been trying to get my boys used to wearing closed toe shoes and socks once again instead of there sandals.

And, that's about it for now.  :)
