16 wk.

What has been happening... I haven't gained any weight from my last appt I am still at 107.0, which as I have stated before is strange to me.. but Docs again aren't concerned.. I still don't feel pregnant,Which reminds me a lot of Conner's pregnancy. I am starting to get the BUMP.. I can still sleep on my stomach but I try my best not too not really having any problems either.. other than the Usual cramps,and back aches..
Cravings: They have really subsided  But one thing I have wanted more than anything is Chicken Ceaser Salads (without Egg yok in the dressing..) Which for me  is strange bc I am not a big Salad person at all.
Movements: He/She is starting to move more and more.. but it is still hit or miss..
Gender: is still unknown Heart rate is 155 right it the middle.. I say boy just bc Girls aren't big on Brett's side of the family but we shall see come Jan 10.. I will be happy with either..
Names: Boy: Gabriel Lee Myers
Girl: Caitlyn Verlee Myers
We are cloth diapering we have put our buying on hold until we find out what we are having. but
I have got a pretty good Small stash going... (7-15lbs) I still have more NB diapers to buy and AIO One sizes but they will come in a slow process.

13 wks.. Hello 2Nd Trimester!

Hello all.. Today I had an appointment because I have been having some headaches well A LOT of them...  they are certain it is not enough water intake but I feel like that if I drink anymore than what I am I will float away.. but they said up it to over 165 Oz of water a day due to the dry climate that we experience here in AK and with all the NEG Temps... So upping it is what I will do, they today me to also add flavoring to it because drinking that much water would make anyone tired of drinking it that way so  I will have to find some flavors that I like.. LEMONS really helped me out the other day with drinking more..  I also got to hear the babies heart beat for the first time.. it was 154... right in the middle..  Conner's was always really high (180) Emma's was (164). My gut is telling me it's a boy but we will be happy with what  ever God grants us with we will be happy with either.. I have been a total wreak worrying about everything.. I can't remember anything from Emma's Pregnancy and defiantly not from Conner's... so I don't know when to expect anything right now.. I am starting to feel Small/ TINY movements here and there..

Pregnancy Highlights:
Weight gain: 4 lbs ( I actually lost some weight from my last appointment)
Cravings: they have kinda stopped but we shall see if they show up again..
One things I am not ready to to give up is sleeping on my stomach.. which I am happy I can still do as long as I am prop just a bit to the side..
One thing I miss: A GOOD nights sleep.. I have not been able to sleep soundly AT ALL this time.. unless I take Unisome which I hate to do..  Last night was the worse I couldn't sleep at all until 400 am and the kids woke up at 645am.. yep I am one tired person today..
 
*will keep you posted as the time progresses

12 weeks

Over site on the Pregnancy... As most of you know we took the necessary measures to prevent a pregnancy, with the Complications that came from Emma's delivery experience.. Not only was it almost fatal but it was the very eye opening to love and care for what you have in the moment..  Now here we are expecting Myers Number 3... very Unexpected.. but we will love this baby I am happy that GOD has blessed me again to carry a child not only for my husband but for him...  We will make sure that all of our children grow up very good Children of God..  this is very scary too due to the unexpected to come.. but we will take the precautions that need to be taken during this time... I am pretty SURE that it's a boy...  I have my name Brett has his.. but I am going to get my way..  HEHE!

*I will post a pic later tonight*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weight gain: 5 lbs (  I have to say this is the least so far that I have gained in all of my pregnancy) with Emma I was already at 11 lbs.
Craving: Lemons, Pickles and soft severed Ice cream ONLY
 I am just not starting to show, but I am still not in maternity cloths yet.  I know it will be happening soon..

E Turns 2

Emma on Sept 25.2009 2nd day home from the hospital

Then here is Emma at 23.5 Mons. and she already knows how to put her shoes on her correct feet.

Emma,

You are an amazing little girl you are, and you are loved so very much. You have grown into one ball of energy, and every time we turn around you are into something new. But we love you so much

2 yr well baby Emma' was 34 3/4  in tall (75%) and 30 lbs (91%)

She has never been a little girl.. But she is one Amazing one!

She has quite all together with the potty training

She talks non stop

She loves her livie.. ( which is her pet Guinea Pig)

She can take off and put on her shoes 75 % of the time by herself

She is super independent hates being helped with anything

She has random Tantrums that just started and we are still unsure why they have started other than maybe bc she is 2.

She still doesn't have all of her teeth, we don't have our (4) 2nd set of insizers nor do we have our 2 yr molars When she burst  into a tantrum  she  also  grabs at her mouth...

She is one Strong little girl

She loves to sing with the Radio...

She LOVES her hairbows.

Her favorite things are Princess, Dora, Elmo.. Ne ho Kilan..  and don't for get WOW WOW Wobzy,, WE try to limit TV as  much as possible.. but with it being so cold and Conner being at school she doesn't like to play unless her friends come over!

She loves to pretend she is putting on make-up when I am getting ready in the morning, she is still a super early riser and I think it really has something with the light that is here bc the sun comes up so early in the morning that will be stopping soon.. though since winter is right around the corner!

hope you like the update.. I will make sure and post pics of her Princess Playdate on Wed. !

My horrific Dealer Story!

Finally Nissan Admitted there Mistake! so in the Process of putting on my hearter-cor!

Note they had to take off my Exhaust manifold, Alternator and water Pump to even get to the piece that it needed to be put on.. So we picked up the Car Thursday of last week after Brett had gotten off work.. the car ran fine on the way home so looked like all was going to be good. We get a Call Friday afternoon asking if everything was going good and at that time it was( we only drove the car from fairbanks) get in it on Saturday morning to run some errands before the guys from the shop come over and my Check engine light comes on, and my set button that shows you that you have cruise on was flashing.. That was a huge hint that something was wrong.. well then I go and try to lock my car with my Fob.. BEEEEP is all I hear BC it is making my car alarm go off now.. then as I am driving it was kinda cold so I needed to defrost my window some... I hit the defrost button My horn honks... another big sign something isn't right... as Nissan auto shop is Closed on the weekend of Course..

 Monday morning roles around and I am going to take it in like they asked me to.. Car wont ever turn over.. no noise or anything.. so I call Brett and Have him  come and jump me.. we though okay it's something that has drained the battery did we leave something on.. Checked everything No nothing was left on. After about 2 hrs trying to get the car to start and many calls to Nissan... They say have it towed and if it our fault after we look at it we will pay for the tow. Okay that is cool.. Myself did not expect my pretty baby... (my car) to be sitting on a tow truck when it was only 6 yrs old..  Never had any issues other than your normal routine maintenance..

 Nissan calls back Mon. and tries to say that the Inter light was left on and that is what killed the battery.. But How wrong were they..  So they were going to charge us 169.00 for a new battery from them.. We say hold off we wanted to talk to the General manger..  Well he was a total JERK and wouldn't work with us.. so we went to NAPA and got a battery( better than what they were going to put in.. for 121.00 pd out of our pocket..  Okay so Car now has a new battery.. Brett notices a STRANGE Noise that shouldn't be coming from the car with no Keys of anything so he goes and get a Manic from Nissan which looks into the car and says your right that doesn't sound good.. something is run that shouldn't be right now.. Which would be what KILLED or BATTERY! But he proceeds to state it most likely isn't something they had done.. WRONG AGAIN Nissan..

 Car is still at Nissan and will be for about another week! When they were taking pieces off my car they Spilled Antifreeze all over my car in which shorted out my car in turns Killed the battery and the car it's self.. it can be fixed and they are now paying for the tow and the New battery..  and the parts that the killed and Getting me a rental until I can have my car back.. I am glad that this stress have been relived and we can rest on that.. but I miss MY car and want it back,.. but I am excited for what rental car they are giving me... it should be one off the lot..

The Myers' ACROSS the world!

Sorry for this being the only blog in like 3 months, but with the PCS and Knowing that we were going on a 4000 mile road trip has it stress that comes along with it!: So here is the Blog about the ROAD TRIP!

As most of you know that we have been in the process of a move, most people going from an overseas base to another overseas base,they would just FLY but not the Us. Brett recently bought his mom and Step dads' 04' Dodge Ram 1500 and we had to pick it up, and not to mention the guns that we had to leave behind when we went to Germany in 2008. Our Road trip started in Tn to Il where we stayed at Grandma Helens house for the 4th we didn't do fire works due to it isn't allowed in IL. but that was still okay for this was the first time that grandma helen got to meet Miss Emma Grace!

 We had an amazing visit but come tomorrow morning that might change.. since we have a 700 mile rd trip to North Dakota!  Let me guess you are wondering how that went.. The kids were ANGELS! they just played and watched movies.   There was NOTHING In Iwoa.... Other than a nasty smell... but Minnisoda was nice! and any one who states that they would not be stationed at Grand Forks I would like to know why! bc it is a NICE area! even though we were only there for 1/2 a day to sleep.

The Next day was the day to head to Sasatoon Canada! what a Day.. we were so worried about boarder control due to we had 8 guns locked up in the back, but it was faster than crossing into Alaska! LOL That day was nice too. Canada was amazin the days that we were in there.... I would advise any military member driving to ALASKA not to Stay at the Comfort in Dawson Creek BC . The most Rude anti-Military, Place I have been at.. I know we are free to speak and  such but if I am paying for service from your hotel don't tell me that we are just people who take over other  people countries, bc that isn't how it work... * this came into context when Brett mentioned that we were heading to Alaska from Germany... Now I don't know if Brett just told her that or if she asked.

But after 3 days in Canada we made it to Eielson AFB on July 09 at 6 pm. So far we love it for granted we haven't had a winter yet.. we we shall see. right now we are in a 1 bedroom apt. it is TINY but we got the call from housing today stating that they have our house! so hopefully we will be in there soon. Actually as I am typing this Brett is waiting at the housing office getting ready to do Paper work! I can say that I am not fond of the 20 mile drive to Fairbanks which happens to be where walmart, sams, oldnavy, American eagle are including all the hunting stores* which I don't care for* lol

Well we made it... and I guess that is what counts..

* we saw Buffalo, Moose, Deer, Bear, * black and Grizzly... I will have pics up on FB soon!
