We are in Tampa now and enjoying ourselves, even though we really haven't done much! After living in Minot and then Edwards, we aren't used to being able to hop into the car and go to the store and be home in 20 minutes! Joey and I have been investigating the area and reporting back to Joe since he is working/sleeping most of the time. Oh, probably because this is considered a "deployment" for him! What a great deployment...in Tampa, FL with your family. We got lucky!
Joe is working 3 days on/3 days off so we are actually seeing him more here than we do in California. We have had the chance to go to the pool a lot which is less than 50 yards from our apartment door. Joey and Joe also get to play daily with Joey's little people, Toy Story charachters, books, and Magna-Tiles. This gives me a HUGE break since I am exhausted most of the time and getting up and down of the floor isn't easy with a huge stomach!
I went to my new doctor last week. He is the head OB at one of the hospitals here in Tampa. Of course, I had the head Anesthesiologist in California when I gave birth to Joey and my epidural didn't work, so I am not really sure why I care that he is the head OB. Anyways, he is a nice man, the office staff was really nice and they encouraged me to bring Joey in for my appointments. Although nice of them, I don't really think that it is appropriate for my 2.5 year old to see me getting examined by a strange man. The doctor said that often times, second babies that are boys can be up to 1 lb bigger than the first baby. So, that could be good news and could be bad news. Joey was 8lbs 6ozs. I CANNOT give birth to a 9lb baby. I refuse. So he said that he will do an ultrasound and try to get the baby out early. That would be great considering our babysitting situation here...we have none. If I go into labor before my mom gets here, we have no one to watch Joey and I will be delivering a baby by myself while Joe stays home with Joey. I would love to be able to plan a day when I can have this boy. I guess we have to wait and see.
For some reason, I can't upload any pictures but I will try again later.
