Roland has been gone on his deployment to Afghanistan for 2 1/2 months now, and each day he is gone just gets harder. The only thing that makes it a little better is knowing we are just that much closer to having him home with us. I have been praying that after this deployment he is home with us for a while before he gets deployed again. I understand that we live the military life and deployments are a common thing but I do pray we could have at least a year together before he has to leave again. I think it would be good for Amelia and Charlotte to get to know their daddy a little bit better before he has to leave. I know that Amelia is missing her daddy a lot this time because every time she talks to him on the phone or gets to see him on skype she is very cranky after. She just walks around the house saying "dada dada" a lot and she'll come over to me and say it and hit me. I know she is missing him and it's so hard at the age she is because I can't really explain it to her to help her understand why daddy is gone or where his. I just tell her all the time that daddy loves her and that he is working hard to keep her safe.
Oh how the time is flying with this pregnancy, I only have 2 1/2 months to go before I'll be holding and kissing our little Charlotte. This pregnancy is much different then my last, Charlotte is moving around all the time all over the place. Amelia never made me uncomfortable or kicked me where it made me jump but Charlotte does both of these things all the time. I have an odd feeling that she is going to be bigger then Amelia was but I figure if she doesn't make a grand entrance like Amelia did it can't be to bad. I also have to say that I'm very proud of myself because I have made it 30 weeks into this pregnancy and have managed not to gain any weight, I am working at continuing this and not gaining any the rest of this pregnancy. Then I will only have to work off what I gained when I was pregnant with Amelia, that I still have not lost 17 months later. Well I do believe this is all the updates I have at the moment, Amelia and I don't have very exciting lives so not to much to say, lol.
