Day 65 (I'm Alive!!!)

Alright, so as you can see I'm still alive!!
I was crying my eyes out when I got out of surgery because I was so happy to still be alive and well lol. My doctor's were great and treated me very well!
I have 4 pretty bad scars (larger than expected) but it's not what is causing my pain.
They actually inflate your stomach with gases so they can see, and they didn't get all the gas out when they closed me up. I have a huge pocket right under the incision's that shoots up to my shoulder when I stand. I know each day will get better so I'm not too worried.
They found 8 gallstones the size of a pistachio....yeah HUGE lol. I got to keep 3 ;)
It's sad because I can't lift my son and he's having a really hard time with not being able to cuddle and be in my arms all the time. 
But remember how I said I have exciting news?!?!?!
Did you make any guesses???
Well the hubby found out about 3 weeks ago that he gets to come home 4 months early!!!!
Can't tell ya when...but it's really soon and I'm SOOO excited!
J is going to be so happy and it's going to be great having help recovering and someone to love on J when I can't.

Also, spread the word and get me some more followers...because I'm going to be having a Partylite GIVEAWAY soon!!!!

The past week

So in the past week a number of events have happened and I'm still not sure I have really realized what's going on lol.
  • My 9 month old son just started walking!!
  • We were told my Husband will probably be discharged from the AF due to an injury.
  • Now he is getting deployed in Sept. of this year...no longer being discharged.
  • My Husband decided this week that he wants to stay in the military and retire.
  • I was told my grandmother is on hospice care.

I love being a military wife and have no problem with this decision. But I realize with that will come the time when we will be moved overseas for 4 yrs at the least. I'm not excited about that because I am so close to my family it will be extremely hard to be that far away. And phone calls/travel is exspensiveeee.

This will be our 2nd deployment this time around and normally would be easier...but now we have a son involved..and his deployment will be 2 months longer than last time. I will be home with family probably 3 of the 7 months. And back here working the other 4. When being told he couldn't deploy again I was happy knowing he was safe. But in a week everything changed. I'm sure my emotions won't really hit me till the time is closer.

My Grandmother I haven't seen for years because she hasn't been doing well for quite awhile. But because of that I believe her time has came. She doesn't remember anyone hardly. We used to be very close and it's hard knowing that anytime she could be gone. But I hope it will be a peaceful reunion with God!

Jayden walking has been such a joy!! He gets soo excited when he starts to take steps! People say I should be worried now but because he learned early he isn't tall enough to get into anything or quick enough to get out the door lol. And well...now duty calls and I need to go change his diaper haha. Hope to get some followers soon so I'm not talking to myself this whole time lol.
