Another update on housing & baby!

Hey everybody!! I just thought I'd give a quick update..

Jaymes & I are doing pretty good.. a little stressed with all the base-housing drama. See, at the beginning Jaymes was told we qualified for a 3 bedroom house because he's an E5, but when we went to check the housing out, the lady working at the leasing office told us that we might not qualify for the 3 bedroom because our dependent is "pending." She did tell us that we would for sure qualify for the 2 bedroom housing, but there was only one left in the dog friendly area and they are going really fast. This probably means we will not get the 2 bedroom, but there is still hope that we can qualify for the 3 bedroom (there are a lot more available 3 bedroom houses in the dog friendly section). Also, if we can't get into this neighborhood, there might be some more available at the one across the street. Anyhow, I know some of you were kinda wondering what the status was, and there it is! Another pretty frustrating thing is that we're trying to get through Central Housing (the place that qualifies you for a certain house), but they told Jaymes he needs a letter from his Command first, and that can take forever. So we're not giving up hope, but we're a little discouraged. The Marine Corps likes to be complicated.. and we don't. BLAH. Now that all that is off my chest, let's talk about our growing baby!!! Some exciting news, I THINK I felt some movement earlier this week. We were sitting down eating dinner & I jumped out of my seat & said, "I THINK I JUST FELT BABY MOVE!!!" The best way I can describe the feeling: like a very little bubble popping. It wasn't a gas bubble (believe me, I know what those feel like). Anyhow, there's no way to know for sure if that was baby or not, but I'll be darned if it wasn't! I've been having some horrible growing pains in my stomach, back, and legs, which at the beginning concerned me, but the Dr. assured me they are nothing to worry about. It's common for very petite people to have rougher growing pains than usual :( We have our next appointment with the OB on the 30th, no ultrasound this time, just checking the baby's heartbeat & measuring my stomach. BUT, at the one after that we get to find out the sex, and we're gonna try and schedule the appointment on our Anniversary (April 18th), because that would be SUCH a neat Anniversary present :) Jaymes is getting very impatient & he REALLY wants to know if it's a boy or a girl he's gonna be a Daddy to! He cracks me up..! Anyhow, it's about to be the weekend, which means I get my husband all to myself for 2 days! I'm gonna go vacuum and start some laundry so I don't have to do it later when all I'll want to do is cuddle!
God bless you all!!!!
