28 Weeks Pregnant.  That’s 7 months pregnant (completed), for those of you not wanting to do the math.

For weeks, I’ve written blog posts in my head, they just never seem to make it here.  As a full-time student, wife of a deployed soldier, and work-at-home mom of two little homeschooled girls who are involved in their own activities… I understand BUSY.  I’m doing my best trying to learn this juggling act of turning a two-parent household into a one-parent household without making the other parent feel out-of-touch with his own family.  I’m working hard at settling the emotions in my little girls and the ones in my own head and heart.  I’m trying to stay busy enough yet not too busy I crash and burn (and I think I’ve gotten dangerously close to the latter)…all the while keeping my priorities my priorities (God, husband, family).

Let me please pause to say…

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I’M DOING.

A lot of praying, a lot of faith.  And then a lot more praying.

I hesitate to say this next part out of fear that I may be wrong and things may suddenly crash…but, I think I’m finally to the “coming to terms” stage of deployment.  I don’t cry near as much as I did before.  I’m still incredibly overwhelmed at times with the new responsibilities and time and energy limits, but hey, I’m human.

And, in 10-12 short weeks, we will have a tiny babe.  It’s so weird to think about.  And, so much to do!

Welcome back!
