So things seem to be going ok.  This pregnancy is so much defferent than the first one.  I am hurting in places that I didnt know could hurt.  I am always tired which frustrates me to no end.  I can't stand seeing things that need to be done that I can't physically do.  I try to do things in small increments, but that isn't helping any either.

(two days later....I got distracted and didn't finish the above entry)

Well, my back has been killing me the last three days.  I don't think it is labor or anything, which I hope not because I am only 35wks, but I have been hurting pretty bad.  Some have told me that when the baby drops down it adds alot of pressure to the nerves on the back.  So that could be a possibility.  It is that kind of pain that hurts so bad and then once you get some kind of relief, your are exhausted!  Which is why I stopped writing in the above paragraph.   Who knows, I am just ready for that part to end.

I have managed to finish with Reilly room.  I went through his toys, chair and things and boxed most of them up.  I feel really good about having his room done.  It looks so clean compared to the rest of the house which seems to stay in a constant state of "moving to Arkansas."

Hopefully, Atalee will not come before she is suppose too.  I really need the time to spend with Reilly.  These are the last few days he is an only child in the house and I feel really sad for him.  I am trying to give him the attention that he needs now.  When that baby comes, daddy gets deployed and we are moving, Reilly might have some emotional problems.  I hope that we can set him up to be a helper though.  I wish we could offer more stability for him.  There are pros and cons to every decision we make.  I just got to make sure he knows he isnt forgotten about if that makes any sense.  So, I hope to get to spend these next few days holding him tight. 

So what is on the agenda for the next few days?  I dont foresee any actual plans to do anything, but I do hope that we get Atalee's crib together and have her things in order.  Hopefully, Reilly will want to help build the crib for his little sister.  I dont have a doctors appointment until Thurs. July 23.  Then I will be seeing the Doc once a week until Atalee is here.

Nathan has begun preparing for the deployment to Afghanistan.  They have been pretty busy at work and I suppose they will stay pretty busy with the next few weeks.  We dont know when exactly he will be gone, but we do know that he will not be here for Thanksgiving. 

Well, I better go, I am starting to think about to much at one time.
