All smiles.
This morning started off pretty hectic. After Autumn staying up way past bedtime (930), she woke up bright and early at 5 am. She was crying and grabbing at her mouth. The best I can figure, she is cutting some more teeth. I cannot see anything to verify that, but it is the only explanation that makes sense. After breakfast, we got ready and headed out to my doctors appointment. Surprisingly, Autumn behaved very well at the doctors office.
I have gained a total of 2 pounds this pregnancy. The doctor doesn't seem very concerned about that, so neither am I. I'm sure I will pack on the pounds at some point. Better later right?
My ultrasound did show me a week ahead of my due date (so 23 weeks rather than 22 weeks), but the doctor said they would only change the due date if it was off by 2 weeks. I have a feeling the due date really is more like May 19 rather than May 25. Time will tell.
When we listened to New Human's heart beat, Autumn busted out laughing. I don't know why it tickled her so, but it made it hard for me not to laugh. The heart rate was 150 beats per minute.
I was so relieved to talk to you for a few minutes on the internet last night. I am sorry that you have it so rough right now. It breaks my heart to think that you are doing without basic necessities, heat/water/electricity. I don't know why, but the one thing that bothers me (more than the Taliban trying to kill you) is the idea that you are somewhere cold. It keeps me up at night with worry. I hope that you can get back to your base soon and retrieve the letter I sent you.
Autumn and I were going to go hiking today, but as every Alaskan knows, when the clouds move away and the sun comes out during the winter, the temperatures plummet. It is too cold for Autumn (OK me too) to go for a hike today. We will just have to wait for another day when the temperature warms up, at least in the 20's.
We are making Beef Stroganoff for dinner. I hope I don't screw it up. At least I have a totally honest judge! Autumn will let you know right away whether something you made was any good or not.
Despite her late night and early wake up, she is as cheerful as ever. I think I will be giving her some Motrin or Tylenol before bedtime tonight. I don't want her to be in any pain.
Loving on "Elbow". I just noticed where Elmo's hand is. Maybe he needs a spanking. I will keep a close eye on him from now on!
Autumn and I miss you so much words cannot explain. I am glad she is too young to know what it is you are doing over there. Please come home to us soon.
I love you and miss you much.
Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo
79 Days without you.
