Ahhh the lovely times of TDY...

So long time no update ... I know I need to get my booty in gear so here it goes!!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow. It's been a long road, getting here, and lots of tests and ultrasounds all that good stuff. We did the NT scan, and everything came back fine from that. We have an anatomy scan scheduled for the 29th and hope to find out the gender of the baby then. We have names picked out for a girl we like Italia Lorraine, and for a boy Spencer Noel. Lots of meaning behind these names that make them special to us. Life besides that is pretty boring.

The family is doing well. Dustin is gone on TDY AGAIN...he's going to be home the end of the month right in time for Lilly's 2nd birthday :o) Living in Alaska is not much fun at the moment. We recently got about 12-18" of snow and I finally had to hire someone to shovel today. I'm glad it's done, I don't want to get a ticket. I'm really looking forward to Dustin coming home at the end of the month, this is the longest we've been separated since he came home from the 15 month deployment. I have to say it does NOT get any easier. To me it doesn't matter if it's overnight or a month or 15 months being apart SUCKS!! I'm thankful for 2 second phone calls just to say I love you, and I'm thankful for quick emails saying I tried to call but I couldn't get through but I just wanted to say I love you. I love that man! He's an amazing father and husband and I just had to email him yesterday and tell him that. He probably thought it was corny and would tell me so, but I know it brought a smile to his face!!

Tomorrow the kids and I will venture out after being stuck inside all week. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to try to update everyday, and with another blogging friend on board I'm sure she'll remind me!
