Our journey begins..

Hello there. Welcome to my new blog. I'm gonna try this blogging thing again. This time about my life with my handsome hubby, Reece(:

Anyways...so we're in the middle of moving from Las Vegas, NV to Anchorage, AK. The Air Force Gods decided we were needed in Elmendorf for the next couple of years. We've been "homeless" since April 28th. That's when TMO came and packed up our apartment. We stayed with my parents until we left Vegas. Then we packed up what we had left with us, including our two boys, and headed to Lincoln, NE. Since we're driving up to Anchorage, we decided it would be nice to visit his family before we made our way to AK. We spent about 11 days in Lincoln. Time went by a little too fast but I am so so happy we got to spend time with family.

That brings us to today, May 21st, the day I consider Day 1. We left Lincoln around 8:30am. Drove for about 563 miles and stopped in Jamestown, ND. If you've never driven north on I-29 from Nebraska to North Dakota, you're not missing much. Literally just field after field. With the occasional house (house, not houses), and occasional field of cows. 

Road Trip Totals.
Miles Driven: 563
Naps: Reece-1; Jessica-2. 

That's it for now. Nothing too exciting. Pictures to come later once I transfer them. Goodnight!

This time last year..

WARNING: This is a long post. I meant to share this last year but never got around to it. So here it is now. My story on when I got sick last year. Probably the scariest time of my life... September 28, 2017- I woke up thinking I was starting to get sick. Ugh. Who likes being sick? It was kind of hard to breathe, I felt sluggish and thought I was starting to get a fever. It was Thursday and also the last day of the training class I was in for work. I got up and got ready to try to survive the day. I wasn't going to let a cold stop me. For the last day, we spent the morning just going over one of the loading systems we use and then after lunch we were going to end the class with a class evaluation. Being a seasoned AMMO troop, I stood off to the side so the younger, newer members could get more hands on training. Half-way through the morning, I started to feel a weird sensation in my left arm. It also was harder to breathe than it was when I first woke up. Noticing this, I start

5 Months

Soon Joey will will be 6 months old. That's half a year. My only question is, HOW?!  Weight  12 lbs. 3 oz. Length Unsure once again Clothes Size 3-6 month (finally moving on up!) Hair Slowly but surely growing. Hair on the back is shorter and he has a bald spot. Hair color is light brown Eyes to my amazement, his eyes are still a beautiful blue Sleeping Been taking little longer naps lately and sleeps a good minimum of 5-6 hours a night.  Eating Now on Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula). Still has the feeding tube. His goal is to eat a minimum of 110 mLs every 3 hours. What he doesn't eat on his own, we feed him through the tube. At night, since he seems to be extra sleepy, we do a continuous feed so we don't have to bother him. This month Starting to tolerate tummy time. He loves his piano mat!  We've been able to keep gloves off him so he's been really catching up-using his hands more, playing with his feet, reach

Half Birthday(:

As I write this, Joey's just sitting in his bouncer, talking excitedly and watching our dog Sarg. I cannot believe that my little stallion turned 6 months about 13 days ago. Where has time gone?!

Takes 2-4 naps a day, length varies on the day (as many other parents probably know) Eating Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula). Still has the feeding tube. Still feed him overnight with a drip (continuous) feed and he gets about 120 mLs every 3 hours during the day. Overall goal is at least 28 oz a day.
