I can't believe it

I am officially the mother of a toddler! That's so weird to say and think. ( I'm still getting use to the fact that I'm a mom) our little man's birthday party was a huge success. I didn't take nearly enough pictures and I totally forgot to take pictures of both of his cakes, but oh well. Poor little guy didn't sleep much the night before and he refused to take his morning nap so that made for an interesting party. About 2pm you could tell he was getting overly tired so we opened presents and put him down. I feel bad that he didn't get to say bye to everyone, but you just can't do too much when they are exhausted. He got some pretty cool presents too. So thank you to everyone that made it out for his party. On his actual birthday my dad, step-mom, grandma, and I took the little man out to Red Robin. He had a great time, until they sang to him. He was fine until the last 5 seconds then he freaked out. Everyone around us was laughing, including me, it was pretty funny. (the hubby was of course playing Army for the week and missed his birthday...thank you Army for that) It's July! For one Army Wife friend of mine this means it's the last short leg of her husband's deployment! So woo hoo for her! Just thinking about it brings me right back to when my husband was coming home. It's by far the most nerve wracking, exciting, stressful thing. I get short of breath remembering waiting at the airport (asking my stepdad to refresh his phone every 3 seconds to see where the plane was at), and seeing the plane as it pulled up to the gate. Ok, that's all I can talk about because my anxiety is high just thinking about it. So, good luck K! I hope you and the little munchkins have so much fun having M home again, and remember, its ok to get annoyed with stuff that he does! Still no jobs for us, but we don't totally mind right now. We are both still looking and hoping to hear from one employer soon.
