December!

This elusive month has finally arrived!  Without breaking any OSPEC regulations...Zack will be home this month!  We still have a way to go...but we are finally in the correct month!  The ship is making it's slow transit back home.  When he left in May, it felt like this month was never going to come.  We are here now and have to continue to survive until he comes home.  On my deployment list...I still have making homemade cinnamon rolls left.  I also need to get Zack's car detailed b/c he would absolutely flip if he saw the state of his precious car right now!  He would get frustrated with me if I left one piece of trash stuffed into the cup holders...well now the cup holders are so full the trash is spilling over.  The carpet has not been vacuumed since he left either...and YIKES!  And then we have the cleaning, updating the car insurance, and turning his cell phone back right before the Homecoming.  Exciting!  After returning home from our trip back home to visit our families for Thanksgiving, I am trying to get Noah back to his sleeping routine.  I followed our schedule while visiting...but his sleeping got completely off track.  Last night we were up for right around two hours.  I am crossing my fingers that tonight goes much better.  I am already exhausted and probably haven't gotten more than 5 hours of sleep at a time since becoming pregnant(1.5yrs ago).  I love my sleep and enjoyed getting 10 hours a night.  Now, I'm excited if I get more than 3 hours at a time...boy times have changed.  I am looking forward to when Noah has adjusted to Zack and he can go back to watching him on the weekends so that this momma can catch up on some sleep!  I miss my sleep, but Zack and I have been discussing trying for our next baby bean.  If it had been up to Zack we would have gotten pregnant right before him leaving, when Noah was 3 months old.  I was ready when Noah was 6 months old and had Zack been home we would probably be pregnant right now.  But we are going wait so that I am not super pregnant during our move to our duty station in Japan...or that's the plan!  And those that know me...know that Zack and I have been known to throw our plans out the window!
