WHEW! What a day we had! I had scheduled an appointment to meet with a birth control councelor to start some birth control before Jamie comes home. So my appointment was at 9:30 this morning. Nothing big, just got some counseling, was told that I wasn't having a period because im pregnant- did you know that you can get pregnant with out actually having your husband home to MAKE you that way?? Needless to say, she didn't believe that i haven't had a period since march of 2005, and said that if im not having a cyle now its because im pregnant. So she ordered me to take a pregnancy test. Hey good news guys- IM NOT PREGNANT!!! which of course, we all already knew but apparently i look like the type to cheat on my husband so i had to PROVE it to the nurse practioner... That erked me a little. So i sat around for like 30 minutes waiting on the stupid results from my pregnancy test, then another 20 minutes to get my RX from the pharmacy. Well, we got it finally, i was on my way...
I get back to my moms house, change Eli's diaper and his poor little butt is bleeding. He has had some issues for the last 4 days, and it caused a rash, but last night it started to bleed. I thought if i put neosporin on him, it would heal it right up. I was wrong. So after calming Eli down, and having his clean diaper on him, i called the doctor to see if i could have him seen today. The pediatrics had no openings today, but acute care did, so we went ahead and took him in there. The doctor said that it was a good thing I brought him today. He thought yesterday they probably would have said yeah, its a diaper rash, put some desitin on it, and keep him dry. And if i'd waited till tomorrow, he probably would have been blistering, so today was the best timing we could have had. Doctor gave us some hydrocortozone cream and said to keep using powder to keep him really dry. He hasn't complained about it at all tonight! I know the cream was suppose to numb him but MAN that stuff works!!!! Hopefully tonight he'll actually get a full nights rest! Poor baby certainly needs it!

Stress
As we get closer and closer to the return of Jamie, I get more and more excited. Yet, i still manage to find time to stress. I have a million things to get done before he comes home, not only am i moving back to seattle, signing a new lease, moving all our stuff OUT of storage and INTO a new apartment, but im doing it with 2 kids. I still have to get my hair cut and colored, have a spa day so my nails, toes and face are all perty for when he comes home.... then of course i have to make sure everything in the house is somewhat set up, and clean. His mom and dad are coming to see us shortly after he gets home, and i certainly don't want boxes everywhere when they get there. But i dont' want to spend the week hes home and on vacation unpacking either... UGH! so much to do!
The boys are doing well. Eli asks me every morning when is daddy coming home? hes so excited! and our Ayden is walking!!! Yep thats right, 10 months and walking!!! I can't believe how fast this first year has gone by. Seems like i just had him.... and my baby is so big now!
From what i hear, jamie is doing well, ready to be home but he's doing well. Hes going to be shocked when he sees how his boys have changed. I think thats the hardest part of deployment for us. he leaves and expects the boys to be the same when he comes back. With Eli it worked out pretty much like that, but with ayden, he was a baby when daddy left and now he's a little boy. Fortunately weve video taped him A LOT, so maybe daddy won't feel like his missed EVERYTHING.
WHy is it that when you want your kid to do something, they won't do it but when you aren't paying attention they do it.... Last night i was trying to get Ayden to say MAMA. He kept going mmmmm DAD and then laughing! little snot. He does say mama, but only when he WANTS something.... silly boy.
Well, today is the first beautiful day we've had in a while, so i think were going outside to enjoy it! Loves!

1:34pm....
1:34 pm. This is the time that my day seems to start going down hill everyday. This afternoon things seemed to be going really well. We had a great morning, my boys were up early, ate a good breakfast, got dressed well, were getting along well... Eli even killed a fly for me this morning!
Mom asked me if we wanted to come over for a barbeque, so i was heading out to run a couple of errands before heading to moms. I get to the end of my road, make a right turn and catch my back tire on the curb.... Now, mind you, i've done this a handful of times and each time i think, oh man, my tire just blew... this time, i didn't think much of it, till i heard the his... yes, windows down, music on driving on the road i could hear the hiss of the air coming out of my tire. In a matter of minutes it would be flat... SO i called mom and said do i dare drive over there or should i stay here... she said come over- they only live 3 minutes away- and your daddy will take it off for ya. So i go over there, no problems at all.
Then my day again gets better. Mom tells me i can go get Keenan from school. IN HER CAR. now, remember, my mom has a 2007 cherry red mustang convertible. While its not the fastest car out there, it is BEAUTIFUL! and boy was that fun to drive! I decided after driving it that i am now done having babies, i'll get a car instead :) okay, maybe im not THAT in love with the car, but it was still lots of fun none the less. Dad gets home, and says oh yeah, that just needs a patch job, only 25 bucks. SWEET! So dad tells me how to change a tire, and we put the spare on, then i go down to drop off my tire.... an hour later i found out that there is a hole in the side wall and i need a new tire! UGH! I am so NOT happy about this. Fortunately, they were pretty fast, i didn't have to have the ghetto donut on for more than a couple of hours. I keep telling myself, just be thankful that we HAD the money to get it fixed! I just feel like such an idiot because i should be used to these HUGE curbs that colorado feels the need to put everywhere.
The barbeque on the other hand was FANTASTIC! Daddy grilled some Baja Chipotle Chicken. i made a pasta salad, and some green beans. YUMMO! both the boys LOVED it! Yet another way they are like their daddy, they love spicy stuff!
After that eventful day i feel like i need a bath and a glass of wine, neither will i have tonight. The boys are out of their bath, Ayden is in his bed, i think sleeping. He was asleep when i put him down, but then he woke up and cried, so i made him a cup, and gave it to him. Course, he didn't want to have anything to do with that, but he's quiet again. Eli is sitting on the floor watching a veggie tale and drinking his milk. Not to long before today's crazy ride will be over, and the calm before the storm will be here again.

Welcome to the Ride
I suppose there comes a time when its just time to set up a place where all can come to read about our crazy life. For me that time is today. This is your warning. Coming to our blog will let you into the up and downs, the highs and lows, the great times and the hard times of our lives. Through it all we WILL persevere. Being a military family you may be exposed to many things that you had no idea about. Please don't thank us for being a military family, or tell me your sorry that my husband is deployed. This is the life we have chosen, we know the risks, the challenges, the dangers and the difficult parts of it. We don't do it for you, we do it because this is what we feel God has for us at this time in our lives. With all that being said here we go!!!!
Jamie and I have been married for 3 years and 8 months. We have an incredible marriage, and I could not be happier with the man that God placed in my life. In those 3 years and 8 months we have had 2 beautiful baby boys. Elijah Edward is 2 years and 8 months- yes, he was born on our 1 year anniversary. And our little Ayden John graced us with his presence in October of last year. You will read much more about all of this as time goes on, but for now, thats all I'll say about the boys.
Jamie joined the navy in 2004 and we are currently stationed in Everett, WA. Though we only have another year there, it has been a great 3 years we've had there. God led us to an amazing church where we have been able to grow in our walks as individuals but also as a couple. After all, the couple that prays together, stays together!
Currently daddy is deployed, though we are counting down days until he is home. Eli is very excited about his daddy coming home, and tells people all the time that his daddy is on a big boat :) Ayden doesn't really get it yet... being 10 months all he's concerned about is when he's gonna get to nurse again and how to get away from his big brother who is chasing him around. We're in double digits now, so it won't be long until we are together as a family again.
Well, I believe this brings us up to date. I will do my best to blog daily, or at least weekly about the goings on in the Montgomery household. Love and blessings to all.
