My life's excitement

So the time is getting closer and closer and soon we will get to meet our little Olivia Grace. We are both getting really excited, I am really nervous. Scott claims he is not nervous at all (I don't really believe that and neither does his mother we think he is probably scared s***tless ha ha!!) but us women all know a man will never admit fear. I go for my first OB visit on Wed in Weiden (that's the city of the hospital I will be giving birth in). We also will have our hospital tour that night where we will see the birthing pool I will be having Olivia in. Well I got my US forces driving licence last week so I can now drive all over Europe. YAY!! the base has a wonderful gym, its so nice. Ever since I got my licence on Wed I have been getting up at 4:30am making breakfast for Scott and I and then we leave the house at 5:45am and I drive him to work he goes to formation at 6:30am and then I go to the gym and do the Elliptical machine for 45min and then the treadmill for 45min. Scott gets to the gym around 6:45am to do his PT but I don't see much of him. Last week I sat with him in his company because our car broke on us and we had to put it in the shop all day, so that was not exciting for me at all. I the gym offers a prenatal yoga class that I will start on wed. So hopefully that will be exciting. I have 2 FRG (family readiness group) activities next week with all the wives of Scott's Company which should be fun and hopefully I will meet some friends. Scott and I have been enjoying bowling and going to movies on base for weekend activities. He has found a new passion for playing bass guitar, I think he is really good and he just learned about 1 month ago. He just got a good deal on a new Guitar on-line so he is patiently waiting for that to come in the mail..I have broke down and taken a picture of my fat belly for everybody's entertainment so i hope you all enjoy it.lol... This is my belly at almost 31 weeks..my pants are too big for me that why they look funny not to mention i pulled them down..Stay tuned there are many more adventures in store for me and for you all to read about...

I am in GERMANY!!!!!!!!

This is a road sign to base.

This is a tower on base that Hitler used to stand on top off to command his army. (that is what Scott told me)

Hey everybody I know I have not blogged in a while. Sorry !!

Well I am excited about being in Germany our Apt is beautiful and huge...I will take pictures and show them later.. I have my first doctors visit with my German doctor on September 3 @ 2pm. I am excited.. I hear that I will have a mid-wife during my labor and delivery. Oh I have a phone that I can be reached at if you call me you have to dial the number exactly as listed
011-49-1-51546678197..My phone is a Blackberry so I can send a recieve emails at anytime and they go straight to my phone. My email is hoppinvblefty@yahoo.com... I also have Skype with a webcam to communicate my name on Skype is armybratsmama. I think I am going to like it here.The change is going to take getting used to. Well I will be on here more often because I hav othing better to do..I love everybody and miss you all terriably..

Well Amy tagged me and can you believe it I am actually participating.....So I am supposed to take a picture of something in my house that tells a special story and as you all know I am in between residences awaiting to move to Germany and not to mention I am in Indy visiting my sissy so I substituted my house for hers. I choose Amy as my item in "my" house that tells a special story in my life. Amy has always been my inspiration ever since I was itty bitty I always wanted to be just like her and she hated it...needless to say it only brought us closer. I am so thankful for the wonderful sister I have in my life. The coolest part to this story is we both are pregnant and due exactly 2 months apart and we are going to be sharing the most wonderful and miraculous gift God could give so close together and I am truly thrilled about that. I love you Amy!!!!




The next item to do was to photograph items in my purse I can't live without and I would say it would be my hand cream, Tylenol because since my pregnancy I have headaches all the time, Tums for that wonderful heartburn being prego brings, of course my phone that's my life all in one, and my newest addition to my purse i cant live without are airheads I am addicted to them now. There is one thing missing but he can't fit in my purse and he is so for from me but if he could fit it would be my wonderful husband Scott. I love you Baby..and miss you so much!!!

Well now I have to tag someone and I am going to tag my Mommy Karen and I know she is looking at this saying "I don't have a blog Courtney!" and guess what mom this means you have to start a blog. I need to keep up with you while I am in Germany so get to Ma I hope to see it up and running pronto!!!

ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

Well everybody its a GIRL!!!!!

I went for my 15 week ultrasound and found out that Scott and I are having a girl we have decided to name here Olivia Grace. I am really excited although Scott was hoping for a boy he is still really excited. Her profile shows she is going to have some big lips like me and a nose like me. Today she was waving at my mom and I and in the first picture you can see it sort of. Her heart rate was 154 bpm. I am leaving to stay with my sissy on Wednesday in Indianapolis and it sounds like we are going to have a concert extravaganza. Well I will keep you all posted.

doctor's visity

So yesterday I had my second baby doctor's visit and we were supposed to be able to hear the heartbeat but since I am not the skinniest person they were unable to hear the heart beat with the Doppler but the heartbeat was registering at 158/160 bpm so that's good. I go back for an ultrasound on May 19 which is a little less than 2 weeks from now and we will hear the heartbeat... YAY!!! Well Scott has been in Germany since April 27 and I will have to say its been quite nerve racking for me. He tells me today that its looking like at least 30 more days till I can get over there and of course I did not like the sounds of that. I miss him so much and being pregnant and extra emotional makes it even harder for me. Well the doctor did tell me that the epidural is still a no go but he did say I could possibly have something that is like a birth canal block but it will not help with my contractions but I still think i I am going to try and do it without any of that stuff. I also have still been loosing weight. I have started getting a baby bump also and had to switch to some maternity clothes because my other pants were getting uncomfortable. I went to see Baby Mama also and it was a wonderful cute movie I think anyone could enjoy it. Talk to ya next time!!

My time in SC

Hey everybody !! I know its been a while but My life has not been that exciting.. Last weekend I got to go get Scott from Fort Jackson for the weekend and his brother and his wife came down up on Saturday from Athens GA and his Grandparents came down from Wilson NC to visit with Scott and see him off before he leaves for Germany. Saturday night all of his family and My family met up and we went to dinner at the Peddler and it was wonderful We all had a wonderful time and our families really enjoyed socializing with each other (so I think anyways) I did take his grandmother to get a hair cut and now she looks like a first class diva!!!! Also Scott's Grandmother, Scott and I went to babies r us and picked out a different bedroom suit for the baby because we decided we did not like the one we originally chose. but on Monday Scott's mom called my mom and decide that we had stuff on the registry that we really did not need and and not the stuff we really needed so that afternoon Scott's mom, my mom and I went to babies r us and re did my whole registry and we ended up finding a really pretty crib on clearance so the bought that we are still with out a dresser but Scott wants to wait a pick out that. I get to go pick him up again this weekend YAY!!! we are also going to decide for sure on a bedding set this weekend so I will keep y'all posted....
