Just 3 more sleeps in England. Boy am I ready! I cant wait to do some serious shopping for Jackson! Hopefully this transition back to the states will go smoothly. I am looking forward to sleeping on a comfortable bed again. I am a bit worried about all the stress the dogs are going through, especially Jez.
Today will be my last day with cheerleaders. I sure hope they continue to do good things!

not sleeping good

So for the past 2 weeks Justin and I have been sleeping on teeny tiney borrowed bed from the base. Its so uncomfortable. I have not been sleeping good at all. And since we done have the dog kennels, Bailey insists on sleeping on the bed. Its a constant battel with her during the night to get her off. We dont have much space to begin with on the bed and then Bailey just thinks she can join us.
Then there is my poor Jez. I know she is so stressed out. She has no place to hide. Normally she would have her kennel or undnerneith the bed to hide. The borrowed bed we have is extreamly low to the ground so she cant get under it and agian, we dont have there kennels. So at the most random times Jez just starts growling!! She has been waking me up in the middle of the night with it.
Tonight is Jusitn's last night on shift! He is so happy to be done!

He Kicks, AND ITS good!

Finally after a few weeks of trying to get Justin to be able to feel Jackson move, last night Justin was finally able to feel him. I am so relieved. I was really hoping that would happen before I left next week. Jackson was a dancing fool last night. He is pretty active this morning to.
I have finalized my plane ticket for next Sunday. The lady who made the arrangements for us, was kind enough to ensure me an isle seat close to the bathroom. We paid for the girls flight last night. So,slowly but surley things are comming together!

Half way there

I am officially half way through my pregnancy. That sure sounds great. I have been realy blessed during my pregnancy. Its really has been rather smooth and really nothing abnormal. I have had several sonograms; witch makes the doctors visit extreamly exciting.
I will have my last UK sonogram this Friday.I am so thankful for the good medical insurance that we have. Other wise I probally would not be getting as much done as I do.
Jackson has been moving around so much latly. Its so neat to feel him kick. I do worry about the upcomming and when he really starts to run out of room. If he kicks as hard as he does now, we could be in for some exciting times huh.

Flying dogs!!

I feel so relieved, I now know exactly how my girls are going to be flying to America!! If you are needing information yourself, here is the company that we finally decided on http://www.petsonthemove.com/

I cant wait to get my girls to America!!

pet loss

Its been four days since saying goodbye to Koko. It has been a very sad and emotional weekend. Its hard not to think about her with all of the years that she gave our family. Just when I think I cant cry anymore, the tears come rushing back. I try not to think of her, but I feel guilty not. I found this sweet website http://www.petloss.com/ that is there to help comfort petowners in times of need. I made a tribute to my dear Koko and added her name to a list of other beloved pets to be remembered.
This weekend my girlfriends here in England through me a baby shower. It was so nice. I recieved some wonderful presents for the girls. I cant wait to see how Jackson will look in the clothes and how he will like the toys that were given to him.
Going back to Koko, loosing a pet is so dificult. I am looking at Bailey right now out of the corner of my eye. She is stretch out sound asleep at the foot of my bed. She is only two years old. Now that I have lost my Koko; I begin to think about the day that I will have to say goodbye to my Bailey and Jez. They are both such sweet dogs. After the loss of Koko, I almost wish I did not have my two girls only because I know that one day I will have to say goodbye to them. That is such a selfish thought I know. Justin and I are able to ofer my crazy girls a pretty good life that they may have not gotten otherwise and for that it is worth it.

My Most loyal Friend

Today has been a very sad day. I had to wake up this morning know that today is the last day that my most loyal friend will have. She has been in my life for the past 18 years. She has been there for me through thick and thin. She has been there during every major event in my life. All the good times and the bad times. She has soothed awayed many tears. Traveled across country with me.
I have known for a while that this day would one day come, but your never completly prepared for it when it does arrive.
It hurts my heart so much to have to say good bye to her. I know it is for the best. God gives us these friends while we need them. She has lived a long and good life.
My dearest friend you will be missed so much. Thank you for all the years you have given to us!!

DECEMBER 4,2008

I know its been a good long while since I posted anything. Sorry! Heres quick update: Pregnancy is going great. I am finally done with morning sickness. I still have an ultra week stomach!! On November 12th we found out that our baby is going to be a boy. How exciting! His name is Jackson Ray. For the past 2 weeks he has been moving around in my tummy so much!

This past Monday the packers came and packed away all of our belongings to be shipped to AZ. We are just about done with everything we had to do to get the dogs prepared to move to America.

Today I woke up to several inches of snow on ground. They actually closed the CDC and the school. THere are at least 2 hour delays for everything else!

I will try my best to keep this updated!!

Love,Kacy
