Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016;

It is currently 9:07 pm here in Anchorage, AK. I thought I'd write a little bit since it's NYE(:

This year was pretty interesting, full of changes. The biggest change being that I moved about 3,400 miles away from my parents. Yes I am aware that I am 25 (and in the military) haha but this is the farthest I've lived from my parents since coming out of the womb. Thank goodness for technology these days. I think I would be more of a mess and sad if I wasn't able to FaceTime with family as often as we do.

I honestly do not remember anything I wanted to accomplish this year. But in 2016, I do have a couple goals in mind: get my CCAF, get promoted (maybe, let's see how much studying I can get in before my test), get fitter/more active (I've recently lost almost 10 lbs. Gained some weight in the last couple months and decided to get serious and stop gaining unwanted weight haha), blog and take pictures more often, and to spend as much time with family (even if FaceTime is the best we can do).

Not much, I thought I had more. But yea. So here's to a new year, to grow, learn, and become a better person. Hope everyone is having/had a wonderful New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. Here's a little slideshow of pictures from our 2015(:

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?! It seriously feels like just last week we found out we were pregnant. It's true what other parents say, blink and you'll miss it. 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.
