For the sake of updating

I know that it has been too long since I posted last, and I'm not sure if anyone even reads this anymore (LOL) but in case someone does, here is the latest and the greatest.

Jeff got back from his pre-mobilization training in Florida on Friday. We've had a great few days together, and are very grateful for the days off he has coming up. It turns out that he will be able to have 3-day weekends until the time of official deployment, so we will cherish that time together as well.

There still is not a buyer for the house, but we have had an increase in showings and that gives us hope.

My parents will be here in 12 days to help us with the last of the packing and loading up of the truck. Two weeks from Wednesday, Kamden and I will head back to Texas with my parents. It has come up so fast. It feels like we were just there for Christmas.

There isn't a lot else to report just now, but seeing as Jeff officially deploys in about 3 weeks, expect to see many updates with regards to "Operation: Enduring Deployment.". Also, Kamden will be having his MRI on February 13. He had been scheduled for January 23, but he came down with the flu and all appointments had to be postponed.

Be sure to check my other blogs for updates and news on Kamden, my weight loss journey and deployment stuff.

POLL
I am considering combining all blogs save the one that is all things Kamden and bringing them here. For those who read here regularly, please let me know if you'd rather just read about my day to day events or if you want to also follow my diabetic journey/weight loss goals and deployment information. I don't want to bore anyone who does visit here, so leave your feedback!

    Hi Tara,

    I follow all of your blogs, so it doesn't matter either way to me how you want to do it. Just as long as you keep up now that you are moving away. Please give Jeff our best. We will continuously keep him(and you all) in our prayers as he is in Iraq.
    Talk to you soon,
    Lisa

    I will continue to pray that God brings the perfect buyer soon. I think you should leave all your blogs the way they are. It's good for us moms to have a world of our own that doesn't completely involve our kids. I hope your time with Jeff feels multiplied!

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
