exhaustion

Whew I seriously think I have over done it in the past couple of weeks. Whenever Josh is gone I try to stay busy and I usually do but its a lot different now that I'm carrying this little one around with me. I drove to KY the week before last for the unexpected death of my uncle, its about a 17 hour drive = no fun ever and especially not when you have to stop every couple of hours. The week was so busy with the visitation and the funeral. I also took my dad to Lexington to the wound care clinic so they can hopefully do something about the ulcers on his foot that keep getting worse even though he has been going to wound care weekly since May. By the end of the week I was exhausted! Got home on Monday night, went to the doctor on Thursday, flew to San Diego, CA on Fri. I was in CA for 3 days for Family Readiness Training (FRG) which is a group of soldiers, families, friends, and other volunteers that help put on events for the soldiers and work to keep their families informed and up to date on resources. It was a great training, I learned a lot, met a lot of great women, and got to enjoy beautiful San Diego. I got home late Sunday night and have been feeling a little under the weather ever since, I think I have just pushed myself a little to hard. I cannot do what I used to do and I am having a hard time accepting that.
The baby is just moving around like crazy! I love the feeling! I can sometimes feel a little nudge too it is so awesome. On Tuesday the 21st we get to have another ultrasound and find out the gender! I have been feeling pretty nauseous this week, I hope its only because I'm exhausted and it will go away again when I finally get rested up. Until then Zofran is my best friend again.....
Still no news on Liam, I am getting so anxious again I cannot wait to get that email from the embassy telling us we passed and we can go get our son! He is getting so big and we are missing so much. I am just glad that we know he has a great team of caregivers taking care of him. My Dr still says I am okay to travel and that the 2nd trimester is the greatest time to travel, but I have to walk every 30 minutes to an hour on the plane ride...awesome.
I have another funny embarrassing story: Last night Sam and I went for a walk, I always go out through the garage door and use the key pad to close it behind me and then to get back in the house that way my house is locked and I don't have to carry a key. Yeah so when we got back from our walk it was dark and the battery on the key pad died. So I was locked out. I thankfully have roadside assistance on my car and my insurance will cover to have my car unlocked. That way I could use the garage door opener in my car to get back into the house. When I called USAA the rep I talked to laughed and laughed and laughed at me. Yes it was funny but not at the time.  Finally by 10 pop a lock came and unlocked my car which set off my alarm so any neighbor who didn't notice me locked out before definitively knows now hahaha. Never a dull moment here. I can laugh now, but at the time it wasn't so funny :)
