Our New Home(:

Hello there! 
It's been a little while, hasn't it? It's cloudy and a little rainy today. According to my weather app, it's 52 degrees. Reece is currently at work and I got a day off to "study" for my Waps test tomorrow (wish me luck!). We've just been busy checking into work, in processing with the base, getting our house, and checking out the area a little bit. 

Work for both of us is good so far. WAY different than Nellis. They were not lying when they said things are a lot slower at other bases. We've also noticed that overall, everyone here is so happy and cheery. Unlike at Nellis, where almost everyone hated life. The base itself is beautiful and pretty big. It almost feels like we don't live or work on a base. Anchorage itself is pretty too. Beautiful mountains, some that still have some snow. I'm gonna have to get used to the roads. They got quite a bit of one ways here, which Vegas does not have. 

Anyways, we got lucky with the house we got. We went to the housing office to give them the paperwork (they never got our fax, imagine that). Reece was told that we were qualified for a 2 bedroom BUT they had a 4 bedroom they could offer us because the house has been open for over a month. It was either take the 4 bedroom or wait for a 2 bedroom. Before we gave an answer, we checked out the house. Instantly loved it. So we told them we would like the house. After signing the lease and a couple other papers, we were able to move in the next day!

I think the boys are liking not having to be in the truck anymore. Loki has his own room again and they have so much space to run around. At least until our household goods get here. Sarg also has a yard! There aren't any rocks, which is what he is used too going potty in. But I think he's starting to really like it. 

Here are some pictures of our house(: Not the best, but they'll do. Excuse the little bit of messiness we have in some rooms haha

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

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

Any who(: Weight  14 lbs 11 oz Length 25.2 in Clothes Size Some 3-6 and 6 months.  Hair Coming in nicely. Finally has been growing hair in his little old man hairline. Still brown. Eyes To my amazement, his eyes are still a beautiful blue Sleeping Sleeps about 6-8 hours a night. 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.
