Things are better!
Well things are as good as they can be concidering. We are 3.5 days into this deployment, hubby is officially in Iraq now and I'm not a bawling mess, I think thats an accomplishment. The first few days I just sat in my PJ's and didn't do much of anything, I was a bum. Today I actually got both Alina and I ready and went out and met some friends for dinner and had a good time. It was nice to be out of the house for a bit. I need to realize that I'm stronger than I think I am and quit being such a baby about this. It sucks hes gone but crying and pouting isn't going to do anything to bring him back, so I just got to get us onto a new "normal." He'll be back in 4 months at most, I can do that. Once baby John comes I'll be so busy the time will fly, at least I hope so. Right now its just waiting for another phone call from him, I just am looking foward to hearing his voice again. Its weird talking to him and knowing he is halfway across the world from me. Like right now its 1137 pm, for him its 1037 am. Its crazy.
So Alina is being a pill lately. I don't know what is going on with her honestly, and I wish I did. She will yell and cry and when I pick her up she starts hitting me, scratching me and everything else. I don't know what going on and its making both of us so frustrated. I just wish she'd get over these fits. I don't know how to help her, and noone can really give me any advice. I'm pretty beat up from her, its not fun. Sometimes shes the sweetest little girl, and then a few minutes later she can turn into a little monster. I feel bad describing her like that but I don;t know another way to put it. Its frustrating. Any tips?
So I have an OB appointment tomorrow, lucky me. We'll find out if I'm dialating anymore. Part of me hopes so, these contractions are getting ridiculous. The other part hopes not 'cuse I'm really not ready for him yet. I mean I have everything, but I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle having two kids. Plus I still need to finish washing everything!
Wow, now I'm rambling. I'm gonna go get some ice cream and relax. Hopefully ALina will chill out soon.

{{Hugs}} Danielle. Sorry Alina is being so difficult. I can relate. When Riley gets crabby like that I just put her down and ignore her. Usually she comes around on her own.
I'm glad you are doing a little better. I would be a wreck myself. Hang in there. Hopefully it will start going quickly for you.
Glad that you are doing better. When Chayleigh gets that way, I just try to please her. LOL! I am reading Happiest Toddler on the Block and they suggest talking caveman to her. I do it with Chayleigh and it seems to work. I would recommend that book if you have time.
How was your appointment? I can't imagine what you're going through. Make sure you let your dh know that there are plenty of people (I am one of them) who appreciate his servive to our country.
Your are Excellent. And so is your site! Keep up the good work. Bookmarked.
