1) Some thing big must be going down in my office. I went into my supervisor's office at 2:15ish and haven't been able to get back in there since. She's been in there with the door closed with all the big wigs from the Department for 2 hours and now she's down the hall in the Director's office with them. I'm dying to know what's going on and equally irritated that I haven't been able to get back in there to talk to her about what I needed to talk to her about since we'd barely even started when we got interrupted.
2) Our anatomy scan is tomorrow afternoon and I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I invited my mom and fmil to come with us. When I talked to fmil on Sunday, she indicated that ffil and fsil were coming as well...even though I didn't invite either of them. Although when I mentioned that to A, he said he didn't think his sister was planning on coming so we'll see. I'm really, really over my fmil right now and wouldn't have invited her either but I felt bad inviting my mom and not her.
3) I've peed approximately 92 million times in the last 2 hours.
4) I've been so mezmerized watching the baby kick from the outside. My entire pregnancy with B was so different because of the shape of my uterus that this is all foreign territory to me. I love it.
5) We are getting a tiered cookie for our wedding instead of cake since A doesn't really like cake and it's about $150 cheaper than a cake would be. I'm ridiculously excited about this! 
6) I need a nap.
That is all. Add your own. And now I need to pee again.

Re: Randoms
*poof*
I am really hoping my week in July gets approved so I can go see my family. I haven't seen my middle brother in two years between his deployment and us moving.
*poof*
ETA: I will probably DD this later.
The Dogs and Us
I haven't pooped in two days. It's very unlike my digestive system & I don't like it.
ETA: The hole where my gallbladder used to be hurts when I run over half a mile. It feels like my organs are jiggling which is probably untrue but that's what I tell myself when I start to slow down & suck air.
I submitted applications to two different school districts so far. I'm super nervous. I don't want my job search here to be like my job search in California.
I still don't feel like A's deployment is really happening. I guess its because we've already been apart for a month.
I've been doing some research on DSLRs and I'm super excited about buying one soon. I just haven't decided on one just yet.
I changed my name
Yesterday I spent 30 minutes replacing the windshield wiper blades on my car. The factory ones were totally different from the ones I bought so it took me a while to figure out. The internet was no help. Most people claimed that they didn't work and returned them and bought replacements from the dealership so I'm proud of myself.
And I about had a melt down this afternoon because I feel like I'm being blown off by the housing office, the moving office and legal all at the same time. All I want is to move so that I won't be separated from DH for longer than need be. Is that too much to ask? Jeez!
-Today the big boss at work told me I have the best paperwork skills and was telling other supervisors to look at mine to help them improve theirs. Yay, me!
-I told DH I wanted to buy a new more expensive swim suit as motivation to work out and look great in it, and so far I've done very little working out. Whoops.
-Do people seriously get their spouses homecoming gifts after deployment? I didn't even think of this, until I started getting emails from other spouses about ideas. Hm.
And by steak I mean beef wellington b/c I'm elitist like that.
1) I can't believe the anatomy scan is next week. I've been so excited about getting to this point and now I just want it to slow.down. This is our last baby!
2) Waiting to hear about a follow on is slowly killing me, which you know if you are on my fb. I am pretty sure J wants to throw some tape over my mouth because he is tired of hearing about every which way I could possibly plan out what we will do this summer in regards to a move.
3) I feel guilty about feeling sad that these are the last few months of it just being us and Isaac. I am obviously excited for #2 but I cherish our one on one time and special bond.
4) I'm disappointed that when J leaves, our last sexy time will be while I am nearly 8 months pregnant...super awesome. But it will encourage me to bust my ass to get back in shape when he is home for mid tour!
5) I just realized this whole post is about kids, pregnancy and moving. Fail.
AAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!! I hope you get an awesome picture to take home!
Very random: When I shower, I leave the bathroom door cracked and Wilson and Rudi normally come in and nap on the bathmat. Sometimes Rudi brings in a toy to play with, and it's common for him to poke his head into the shower if I've been in there ~10 minutes. This morning he was in a super goofy mood and he stuck his head in the shower and had a silly smile on his face, so I was talking to him but he wouldn't go away. Finally I kissed the top of his snout with a super exaggerated "MUAH!" noise, and he must have thought it was hilarious, because he spun around, stuck his head in the shower and wouldn't go away until I did it again. He did that four times in the span of a five minute shower. He was so entertained by our interaction.
Yes, I am the weird dog lady.
I have a feeling this is going to be the longest day EVER!
I love your dogs! And I love your stories about your dogs!
