March Ramblings/25 weeks

*Thoughts on deployment: I miss Nathan. I talk to him pretty much everyday, and for that 20 minutes to an hour each day is the highlight of my life, well besides our baby. When he says he has to go I never seem to fail to ask "just two more minutes?" or "one more minute?" I think it's getting old for him, but hey, if I can squeeze just two more minutes in of my random ramblings, then it was worth the begging. I miss his laugh. He laughs at everything, which I love. He is such an easy going person, his personality is so fun to be around. I miss his teasing. When he was younger, he teased his siblings so much that his mom would make him read the "teasing book" and it taught him that it's ok to have fun, but sometimes teasing can get carried away. I might need to get that book for Nathan Jr. I miss his socks. Whenever I did our laundry I would always, I say always look at the end of our bed under the sheets and find at least five pairs of socks. He could never go to bed without any socks, but once he was under the sheets the socks came off. I would always complain to him about picking up his socks and he would say "oh you know you love it" and well, right now I do love it. I miss his dirty socks. How sad and pathetic does that sound?

*I have the pregnancy snore. After the last post, I have come to realize that embarrassing myself online comes natural to me. So about this snore. Currently I am sleeping in a guest room (a.k.a. my sister Lacie's room when she comes home to visit) the bed is so comfortable, it's warmer upstairs, and it's closer to the kitchen. :) This said room is close to my parents room. Well one night my dad heard a sound at midnight, woke up my mom and said "what's that noise?" they listened for a minute and said "oh that's Mindy snoring, that is how I snored when I was pregnant" ha ha, what, me snore? I am not a snorer. But I guess I was diagnosed that night and let me just say, it's hard to breathe when little boy salisbury is pushing up against my breathing equipment.

*It's kind of weird to be living at home again...pregnant. Maybe this is what a teenage pregnancy feels like? I have not one complaint though. My parents and sisters have been the best support. They grant me my every wish, almost. I think pregnant women do that to people though. I have felt like people give you special attention like your going to go into labor any minute, so to prevent that from happening in front of them they will treat you with special care, and I sure love it! I don't mind one bit if someone I don't know comes and rubs my belly. Is that weird?

*Nathan is going to be 30 this year! I am already trying to plan his big day but not exactly sure where we will be. We could either be in the states still or back in Germany. So I am trying to plan for both just in case. If we are in Germany I am thinking a trip to Italy would be fun! When he comes home we will have missed both of our birthdays the previous year, so I want to make this one really special, plus he's going to be thirty and flirty and wise. Well he better not be flirty.

*Last rambling this month. I have lots going through my head and sometimes just writing it out lets some of it out. I am 25 weeks tomorrow! Almost to my third trimester. I hope I pass...ha ha, I think sometimes I have a great sense of humor, and then sometimes not. I just love our baby boy, he is so fun to be around. (ha, there I go again, please just laugh and don't think I'm weird) He is the most active baby. I am recently feeling him kicking my ribs and that is where my sense of humor ends. It kind of hurts, but so much fun at the same time. I can't wait to just hold and cuddle him, smother his cheeks with kisses.
