well that sounds like a fun day school.. of course it was hard to do anything with 20 people, but we still enjoyed our time together, and we actually got a few hours to ourselves! he will be in cali for a year and a half I believe... not much specifics yet, but I am enjoying our on going texting throughout the day! lol. I will be making a trip out there soon!!!!! have you been able to talk a lot with your sailor (i think each A school is probably different)
I am sure I have already asked you...but being pregnant makes me forget absolutely everything..haha Are you going to the meet and greet Thursday evening??
Heyy!! So far everything is going as planned. I am still dilated 1cm, but he hasn't dropped yet. I go to the doctor Thursday morning before we head up to Chicago to check and make sure I am still at 1cm. Hopefully the little booger holds on for another week...which I think he will.
I should be in bed but I know I won't sleep very well knowing my baby is not feeling well and has to stay awake and be tested like he's never been tested before. I pray God gives him the strength and wisdom he needs to get through this. I pray he passed all his other tests as well. I guess he did since we didn't get a call. I sent him three phone cards. I was very disappointed in Giant. They had none but then the guy seemed sorry for me and came up with some kind of $5 phone card which won't go very far since I'm sure there is a pay phone surcharge plus they charged me extra for 911 service which is crazy since it's not for a cell phone. I had to go to Rite Aid to get two other cards. I got to the post office at 8:30 tonight. The last mail pickup was 8:00; I am hoping they were late taking the mail so it goes out tonight. After I mailed it, I realized I didn't put my note in it so I will have to mail that tomorrow. Talk to you soon.
Whats OS? Um my fiance doesn' t know yet, haha. I think he is going to try out different jobs to see which one he likes, but I'm not sure. Unless they just stick him with a job, who knows haha.
Did you use your phone to take the picture? How do you get the picture from the phone to the computer?
I'm on break at 10:00-10:15, 12-12:30 and 3:00 -3:15 or I'm off at 4:00. I'm hoping to go to Giant for ice cream and to talk to Rep. Sue Helm.
I hope everything is ok.
By the way, a lady from my church, Betty Miller, was having surgery today at Osteo. I am hoping she doesn't end up in your unit. I am praying her surgery goes well. She is an older lady and was having either neck or back surgery.
