In the course of one week my life changed considerably.
Last time around Biggest was worried about not feeling the baby move enough.
Yesterday I got a text:
Biggest: Oh, I had a kickboxing tournament from 6PM to 3AM that could've earned a domestic abuse charge, so we feel better. My arm was resting on my stomach texting and the first time she hit it jarred my arm so hard I almost lost my phone..
She and DecentGuy are getting excited. Only two months to go till November!
Middlest and my future son in law-Murphy'sLaw- are having a shot gun wedding in Georgia this November and I will be getting a Second Grandchild in May. He has a whole lot of proving to do before I change his name. I'm not worried about my future Grandchild reading this and wondering about the name because all it takes is an internet search to find the 6 mug shots.
But I offer hope. When Biggest met DecentGuy in High School his name was Shithead so we will just keep praying. Trying not to cry anymore with marginal success.
Littlest is still here. Government fiscal year-- is October 1st-if we still have a government- and the Marine Corps job openings will be posted and she will likely know her ship date for sure.
I'm betting on November though it could be sooner. She's in the process of packing up everything in her room and I can't bear to look.
In other news, The SeaMonkey turned 50! He obviously got more than he expected for his birthday this year and he's already suffering from a bad case of Empty Nest Syndrome but luckily there have been some waves.
I have been reading a long list of horror stories and it occurred to me that I'm trying to find something that scares me more than my real life.....Still reading...
anyway....
This insanity is obviously going to last awhile so..
Belated Moon Music.
Forgive if I haven't caught up on your blogs yet. I appreciate the support more than I can say but I'm just a little burnt out right now....

Hang in there...and congrats on Grandbaby #2.
ReplyDeleteThanks DG : ) I'm not sure I'm ready for congrats on this one but we'll see what happens.
DeleteSounds like November is going to be more epic than the moon could ever be. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, SeaMonkey!
I'll hang in there. Hopefully not on the end of a rope ; )
DeleteHoly. Shit.
ReplyDeleteEMPTY nest is his biggest concern? Ack, sorry, bad humour is my go-to for intense situations. I have no doubt you will handle this with your customary aplomb, but HOLY SHIT. At least your life is never dull.
Okay, I feel like that wasn't supportive enough. I will try not to say holy shit any more. Hugs! Best wishes! Babies are awesome! At least you don't have to put them in snowsuits where you live! It will be okay!
ReplyDeleteI mean, who am I to be all freaked out - my husband and I have been playing fast and loose with the whole 'did the vasectomy take or not' thing and maybe you'll be the one holy-shitting at MY next blog post titled "How do you like the name OOPS for a third child?"
ReplyDeleteOh God, You gave me a laugh this morning Allison and I really needed one ; )
DeletePraying for a safe delivery in November and MAY. Praying for your peace. Believe it or not I had quite the meltdown when my daughter's boyfriend tore me a new 3 days after Averey was born. Seeing her make the same mistakes in manipulating behavior by immature chip-on-their-shoulder men killed me. In the end, I know she has to live her life. The good and bad. I hope for the good but the hole in my chest will be a long time healing either way. I miss her and Averey. I'll worry about them til I die. No one told us about this stuff when we signed up to be parents! hugs!
ReplyDeleteWait! What the heck happened Angelia? Is it on the blog? I'm checking!
DeleteI didn't put it on the blog. He basically said my husband and I treated him bad and looked down on him. Said I cut him out of all the birth photos (insane). He had a long list of crap that made no sense at all. I think he was basically saying - they are mine now - and there is nothing Jason or I can do about it. They live with him or should I say him, his grandparents, and his Dad. Yes, indeed. The good news is, Sydney's Dad called him that night and helped the situation. He talked to him. So, I do still get to see them. But honestly, it is hard to be comfortable not knowing if/when he is going to flip out again. I SWORE after ex#2 I would NEVER walk on eggs shells. But here I go, oh so carefully, so I can see my baby and her baby.
DeleteOh Honey, I'm sorry you were put in that situation. I know how much it means to you to be a part of it. I hope he gets over it or she has the strength to stand up to it if he pushes it too far. I'm on eggshells too because this situation is Very Bad and I don't want to be cut off from her but I can't pretend everything is great either.
DeletePrayers for you!
WOW! You can squeeze my hand through it. Congrats on the new grandbaby ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Thank You Honey! You might need hand reconstruction afterward : ) Worried as hell about the future of that grandbaby but they're in another state so I will have to try not to let it consume me. Just keep breathing.....
DeleteHang in there hon, I have to say it (and want you to know it's said with the very best of intentions) everything happens for a reason and maybe this baby will be the making of Middlest. You have to just hope that some part of her upbringing will shine through.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't make it any easier to deal with - I know. Doesn't make your heart stop racing in panic, doesn't stop the tears falling constantly - but must be something to focus on and hope for.
Happy Birthday to the Sea Monkey and the 15th of November is a good day for a baby to be born, I have it on good authority that amazing people are born on this day :-)
We believe the same Fi and do hope it will be what she needs to prompt her to grow up-him too!
