Frustration and other things

So Im finally at the point where I absolutley HATE John working nights and sleeping during the day. It seems like we never see eachother anymore. I honestly don't understand how woman can be married to men in the armed forces. They don't get to see them for months sometimes years. And I can barely get through the night. Power to those women. Maybe it's just the emotional part of the pregnancy because sometime I just wanna kill him and be away from him but then again I try and keep him from going to work at night. At least I have a dog right? If it weren't for Ryder I would never sleep and probably sit on my bed with a gun in my hand. He's my little protector even though a lizard could probably take him on. But at least it helps me sleep. John has been takling to the HR people at his work about new positions opening during the day so that he is not only away from acid but also home at night. It just seems like it's taking years to do so. I guess I need to learn how to be patient. Enough about that. How about a baby update? So we went in last week (16 weeks) for a gender check. It was so awesome to see my own baby. Words can't explain. It was finally a reality for me. I would post a picture but I don't have a scanner and it doesn't look good when I take a picture of it. After we looked at our little alien the tech asked if we should try and see what we are having. So we looked and so far it appears to be a boy. Although she said that baby could be a girl and she's just swollen. But we should know in like 3 weeks. So when we got out to the car John looked at me and said "I guess we have to start thinking about boy names." I just looked at him and said no. We already have a girl name and that was hard enough. But we have had that name for a while now. Before we found out I was pregnant. So yea. We have been looking but the ones I like the most John likes the least and vice versa. But we have a while togo so I guess we will keep thinking.

Boo for working overnights. I LOATHED it when Cody and I first got married because I was so scared to be alone. I love that we're on the same schedule now. I can't believe that it's (possibly) a boy!!! Names are hard to think of...but oddly, we already have a boy name picked out for WHEN we have kids, ha ha. No girl ones yet though, Cody doesn't like my ideas :(

I really hope Johnny gets something better at work...by the way, I have that powder stuff i was telling you about in my car so I can remember to drop it off to you. Now, I just have to go into the shed and look for my pregnancy clothes!!! Hopefully this weekend...but maybe tonight if I can remember!

Oh memories! =] Dean never worked nights but used to have to go out of town, do scout camps, etc. Can I admit to you that I still leave the TV on all night so that I can't hear the other noises in the house when he's gone? >] It will work out - heh, yeah that patience word.

Even more real will be when you can feel the movements - besides holding your baby in your arms, THAT to me was the best feeling ever - even when they were kicking me in the lungs and bladder! =] And regarding names.... that was my poor Benjamin - he was named 1 week before he came because I REFUSED to go to the hospital without one. You may have to use my trick- get out the name book and continually suggest, over and over again until one just "feels" good to the two of you.
♥ you - so fun to get to know you through here. Take care
