d_o.. Thanks SO much! I really appreciate it...
In the Great Lakes A-school, they don't have phase 3, it's just phase 1 and phase 2, so he got his phase 2 a week after he was there...and he is at the top of his class!!! I am SO proud of him!!!! Ahhh, he is such a good hubby.

OH, Mrs. B I am so happy to hear this good news! What a relief to hear that the baby is fine. I put you on a prayer list, & told them that you were lonely and scared. They are going to be tickled to hear that your husband is getting a 10 day leave. I know I am. Who gets that? Is he even in phase 3 yet? I think that's a big deal all by itself!
Yeah Nicole-now you kids play nice with each other;)

Michelle - Thank you! I too miss our minetely chat's. I for one plan to stop in here often and say hi. Not ready to let this group go.
DO - Thanks for the encouragement. I try to be strong cause the alternative is to wallow in it and that just isn't my style. =) Thank you husband for me for his service in Vietnam. I'm glad they finally got him fixed up.
Lyn - My spot airs Monday, October 4th at 0800 for Haley Temple. I certainly hope they can make some sense out of the babble I gave them. Lol... that's what editing is all about.
Nicole - Hang in there. If you guys are meant to be, you'll weather all the ups and downs just fine and come through smiling. No matter what happens (I'm hoping for a happy ending of course) we would all miss you horribly if you didn't continue on with this group.
Mary - they interviewed me on Wednesday and won't be playing it till Oct. 4th. Sorry I didn't realize that until they told me.
Mrs. B - So glad everything is going well now. That's fantastic that they might give him 10 days off with you guys. Keep us posted. =)

Hi Ladies,
Just thought I'd stop in and give an update on the baby! I had an ultrasound done today that was very comprehensive and the lady said my son's estimated weight is 6 lbs. 11 oz and that everything is healthy and doing really good. I am SO relieved. Also, he has now "dropped" so I'm getting ready to have this baby!!! I can't wait to hold him. My husband is getting really excited too! His instructors have told him he can attend the birth AND, get this...they are hoping to give him TEN DAYS OFF as maternity leave! Can you believe that??!!! I am SO excited...we'll see if it happens, but it's nice they are wanting to do that for him and me.
Blessings on everyone!

Well, currently, we're actually talking about getting back together..we miss eachother ALOOOOT. we're basically inseperable..
haha.
Yes, I can help out with anything from this generation, if you have questions just ask..I know that it's hard to understand a generation you weren't from..trust me, it's mutual....half the time, we don't know what the h*ll is going through our parents heads with the things they do..makes more sence as you get older though.

I'm so glad you guys are still lovin' our little group here. We can keep it alive as long as we want! Yippee!
Nicole - I'm sorry to read about your breakup and like the others, am glad to know that it is on friendly terms.
I have heard nothing about this stabbing until just now reading here. Yikes and double yikes. If anyone learns anything more, please share what you can.
I can't wait to hear our Radio Gal Iris!
