Baby weight....

So one of my goals while Joey is gone is to LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!

I will be planning a wedding also while he is gone so I really need to lose this by the time July rolls around! I have really never been this down on myself. I know I can get it off but honestly when? With the baby I feel like I dont get a minute to myself unless Joey has her.. When he leaves WHAT DO I DO!!!!!! I feel like I might become a hermit. I guess I have another goal! To get out and meet people! Everything is going to be fine...right?!

The first of many ...

I have created a special blog for me to vent, cry complain, rejoice..whatever it is I need to do that day to get me through this deployment! If you would like to follow you will probably be bored to death!

We have about a month together left, it brings tears to my eyes just typing that! The time leading up to him going is hard and the last month is rough. Don't get me wrong everyday in between is a challenge but I will be in a routine and the time will fly by( right?!)

I have been through a deployment with an ex and I was in such a different place at that time. Joey has also been on a deployment once before this. He was on the USS Boxer for 7 months. This Deployment Joey will be in Kuwait.

As the time runs out, its the small things that bring tears to my eyes. With having our new baby girl here its all her firsts..rolling over, crawling, laughing, first words.. I will be experiencing all these great memories alone.. I will try to make it seem like he is here as much as I can but I would like to have him next to me watching her grow. I will be taking pictures and recording everything for him! He will be gone through all the holidays, it will be harder on him for those since I will be family and that will help pass the time..


I have been trying to think of things to do so Khloe can remember her dad while he is away. I am going to go to Build A Bear and have him record his voice and spray his cologne on it. i will also show her pictures and we can Skype. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I can do for her?

I am not going to be updating this much before he goes. I am going to try and embrace every moment we do have left together. so in closing....Hold your loved ones close! We all are not as blessed to have them home every night with us!
