It has been several days since I have last wrote on my blog.  I kinda got sloppy this week.  The weather has been so beautiful down here it has been unreal.  I am thinking that I am going to start writing my blog a little bit different.  Let me know if it works for you guys.


WEATHER THIS WEEK:
This has been one of the most beautiful week of great weather I have felt in a long time.  I can see why Savannah is a nice place to visit.  The temperature has averaged 70-78 degrees with blue skies and a light breeze.  What more could you ask for?  I have been wearing my capri pants and flip flips all week.  I have had my windows open to let in all the fresh air too.  So no complaints from us!


PREGNANCY:
I have been having a increase in headaches this week.  Sometimes the headaches can get so bad that I just want to lay on the couch and cover my head with a pillow so that the rest of the world is gone...with the exception of my three year old bouncing all over me.  I have been able to make start the process, but I think it is going to be a hard one.

I had gotten an approval from our insurance to see one doctor.  I went to make an appointment and was very surprised to learn that the doctor could not see me until June.  That would be  three months before the baby is due.  Yeah, like I am going to wait that long.  So I am in the process....again.  I cant call our insurance until Tuesday because the office is closed due to President's Day. 

I did manage to find the doctor's name from my original referral that was rejected due to my address not be corrected.  So I called that office and found out that she wasn't taken any new patient either, however, the secretary gave me the name of two doctor that were currently taking new patients.  So keep your fingers crossed.

Current Pregnancy Stats:
State: 13 weeks closer to 14 weeks.

Size: 3 1/2 in.   
Weight: 1 ounce

Info about the growth of the baby taken from babiesonline.com

Your baby's body systems are starting to work on their own. The digestive system practices moving food along the intestines and through the renal system and he can create and eliminate urine. He also continues to practice breathing the amniotic fluid in and out of his lungs. Your baby has tiny, soft nails on his fingers and toes, is growing hair and may even suck his thumb.

Also, your baby's blood is beginning to form in the bone marrow and blood vessels are beginning to connect various parts of the fetus to another. The joints and muscles allow your baby full body movement so your baby is able to move around. The baby's neck is getting longer and his chin is no longer resting on his chest. The eyes and ears continue to move into place. The hands are becoming functional and reflex movements often occur. Nourishment now comes from the placenta. Remember, some of what you eat and drink is getting through to your baby. The doctor can tell if your baby is a boy or a girl using special tests.

OUR NEW CHURCH:
We have managed to find a local church.  It seems to be one of the most loving churches that I have ever been too (with the exception of our home church in Arkansas).  It is a fairly large church that maybe runs around 300 or so.  The biggest factor was that Reilly is enjoying Children's Church so much.  There were so many kids that were Reilly's age.  He was so happy to.  At first is was reluctant to stay alone, but with some coaxing and reassuring little Nathan....I mean little Reilly did just fine.

It might have been harder for us as parents to walk away and leave him in someone's care, but it has to be done.  Regardless how much I want to keep him safe from this cruel world he has to learn to do these kind of things on his own.  We have now attended two weeks at the church.  The worship service is really awesome and glad that we were able to find it.

NATHAN'S FLYING:
Nathan is still trying to get to get settled into his new unit, so when I find out some more info I will be sure to let you guys know.

VALENTINE'S DAY:
I had a pretty good day.  Nathan did find a way to get me two dozen roses that were ever so beautiful.  I use to not be a flower person, but the older I get the more I have enjoyed getting flowers.  We did do something a little bit different this year.  I had decided that we could go to a seafood restaurant and let Nathan eat some awesome crab!  Now if anyone knows me, know that I do not like sea food or any kind of creature that lives in water.  I don't want to be the one woman that will not go to a certain restaurant because I don't like a particular type of food, because I know I can always find something on the menu that I can eat. 

Anyway, we didn't go alone.  We invited our good friends Jeff and Lindsey to go with us.  For those of you that don't know Jeff and Lindsey, let me fill you in on them.  We first met them at Fort Rucker, AL.  Nathan went to Warrant Officer Candidate School and graduated with Jeff.  Then later, Nathan played flagfoot ball with Jeff.  So it was actually flag football was the first time I actually met Lindsey and her daughter Sina.  Jeff flies the Chinook Helicopter.  He finished flight school about a year earlier than Nathan.  So I really didn't get to keep up with Lindsey, UNTIL now. 

We didn't know until we gotten our house in Savannah that we lived two houses away from Jeff and Lindsey.  What an awesome treat it has been actually having them so close. 

So on Valentines Day we invited them to go eat with us.  We had a pretty awesome time too!  After eating we went back to  Jeff and Lindsey's and played a really funny game called Dirty Minds which isn't as evil as it sounds, but it sure was hilarious to play!  We played for four house and had a blast!  I think it was one of my favorite Valentine's Dates ever.


I am also including a picture of my living room and Reilly's Valentine's Gift from his YaYa!
