Virtual Baby Shower&&Joey's Nursery!

Hello(:

As you know, we are currently stationed/living in Anchorage, AK. Super far from home, for both of us. As far as having a baby shower, I was going to have one here but opted out when I got put on bed rest. The idea just didn't seem as fun when I couldn't be too mobile and was still pretty much a couch potato (Dr's orders). But my lovely mother-in-law threw us a virtual baby shower! We skyped with family and friends and had a little baby shower that way. We got lots of gifts and it was so much fun! I can just imagine how fun it would've been if we were able to travel and have one in person with the ones we love. I felt super grateful afterwards for the gifts and for everyone who was there. So if you were there, THANK YOU AGAIN! Sadly, I only remembered to take one picture of the baby shower-the diaper cake made by Joey's Uncle Blake, Aunt Sam, and Aunt Jenny.

Joey's nursery is pretty much done. We painted the walls a light grey. I wasn't really sure what theme to go with, so I decided not to necessarily go with a theme. I didn't want to do TOO much since this is obviously not going to be our forever home. Eventually, we'll add more things to the walls.

The countdown is really on now. We are currently 35 weeks and 1 day. YAY! This is my last week on convalescent (medical) leave. I go back to work next week (sad face). I'm trying to finish up all the things I feel like still needs to be done before baby comes. Our next check up is next Monday (36 week mark) and on 19 September, I am getting the cerclage (stitch) taken out. We are expecting our little one to join us soon after I get the stitch taken out. That is it for now. Thanks for stopping by! Until next time ;]

Countdowns
Stitch taken out: 13 days

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...
