Welp - I survived day one of hubs in the field. Kidding, I never doubted I could handle a week on my own. I do miss his crazy self, but I also don't mind a few days/nights of alone time. It's good for the soul says I.
Last night, however, was not one of those nights. GIRLS NIGHT. and it was the ultimate girls night let me tell you... nail polish galore, hand and foot scrubs and creams, face masks and the N'Sync channel on Pandora to top it all off. I had more fun than I've had in a long time. It was great to be able to just let go and be silly girls for a night. No making dinner for the men, no watching them do homework in our peripheral vision. Just the 5 of us blasting the music and being complete girls. Much needed!
Some other things that have went on or will go on that I feel is worthy of your knowledge:
My sweet, amazing brother got a little confused when he was buying Andrew's shower gift and had it sent to our apartment instead of my mum's house. Imagine my thrill yesterday when the UPS man delivered our STROLLER!! (Jeep Liberty Sport jogger stroller) and Andrew's very first dump truck. I can't wait to see my son *that still sounds sweetly strange rolling of the tongue* crawling on the floor, rolling his truck around and making vrrooom vroomm sounds. I'll make sure he knows his Uncle Charlie gave that to him! I really wanted to open the stroller immediately and find something to push around, but I surpressed that urge...
Today I plan to pack away all of my winter clothes for the movers. I bought a plastic tub for them yesterday. That way when we get to El Paso, I can just store them away without even having to look at them.
I'm going to be cutting up my first real, live pineapple today. I've always been too intimidated... I'm going for it today!
It's been really cool... I can feel Drew's body usually after I eat. He was a little further up last night and I could feel little body parts and feel them moving when I'd press on them. I'm assuming feet. I then insisted all the girls feel as well.
The other day, I found out how old my Wii thinks I am. I thought I was kicking ass the whole time. Not so says the Wii. It told me I was 46 years old. Isn't 40's the new 30's??
Also, 9 days before I'm home for a blissful 8 days!

Congratulations on your boy :) My son's name is Andrew but we call him Drew too.
Um and nine days until you make a rendezvouz with me... c'mon I'll meet you half way in North Carolina!!! P.S. Do you like those Willow Tree thingies? I've been shopping for you...
Glad you had a good time with your girls! That can be a lot of fun, huh?
haha this post makes me smile!!!
I doubt the wii asked if you were pregnant so I think you get to knock off like 20 years from it haha!!
and oh gosh..can you make an instructional video on how to cut those dang pineapples???that would be great lol
I would be JUMPING up and down if I got a stroller package like that haha!!! how exciting :)
I was thinking the other day, a generation ago, we called the Andrews Andy, but now they are Drew. Funny. :)
Good luck with the pineapple! You know they make pineapple corers? My mom got one at Bed Bath and Beyond (I think) and she loves it!
I just packed up all my winter clothes, too. Now onto SoldierMan's :)
I love Pinapple but have also always been afraid to "tackle" them. I can't wait to hear how it went. Check my blog tomorrow, I left you some more love!
