My Sister's Keeper

YEP!
Going to see that movie tonight with Blake and Alyssa! Kinsley is spending the night at Granny and Papa's :( I don't like when she stays the night away from me anymore, I'm getting super attached to her. Mainly because she's my whole entire little world since Josh isnt here for me to tend to.. Or maybe that's just how it goes, you have a baby and every day you become more attached. Wow, hope that's not the case, I'm worried of how I'll be in the years to come.So my dear friend Alyssa's offered to stay with me tonight so I don't have to sleep alone!:)

Oh so, Michael Jackson died yesterday, along with Farrah Fawcett. And the guy off of Star Search Ed McMann (?) died the day before.. Just throwing that in there for Andrea because she probably doesn't know cause she doesn't have cable.. :) Kidding Dee-Dee!! I'm sure you knew.. And if not, now you do...

A few days ago I got 'word' that Josh's batallion (or maybe unit..I don't know) will be making an early arrival......... I'm trying my hardest to not get overly excited because I know it's just word and it changes more times than I blink in a day.. But just the thought of it gives me butterflies! If that's the case, we have less than 3 months! That to me sounds like TOMORROW. I'd have to get A LOT done in a HURRY if that happens but I'd do it with a smile on my face! I wish he could call right this second so I could discuss this with him! Oh well I'll hopefully hear from him on Wednesday..

Us girls will be leaving Thursday afternoon (instead of Friday) for the beach! We are THRILLED!! Once the girls hear the word 'beach' they won't stop talking about it ALL DAY.. 'Wee go-in to da beeeech! Go-in to da BEEEECH!' I think Whit & I have agreed to not tell the girls where we're headed in the car on Thursday, it might be a nightmare... "Are we there yet?" Anyway so we'll be leaving first thing Monday morning. For me, and especially hard working Mom Whitney, that's a long vacation! And well deserved for Whitney. I can't wait to see the girls playing on the beach now that they are a little older than last years trip in April. I remember Kinsley had just started walking, and Mia was really afraid of the sand. The fireworks on the 4th of July will be so fun to look at!! I can't wait! :) :)
I'll update this weekend on my personal review for My Sister's Keeper.
Much Love,
Chynna

I made the girls these visors with animal stickers on them :)

New MOS?!

For those of you who don't know what "MOS" is, it stands for "Military Occupational Specialty" meaning, your job in the military! Like right now, his MOS is Infantry. Which is the hardest physically. And Josh's back has gotten really bad since he joined, and his knees too. So I just heard from Josh, wasn't suppose to for like another 2-3 weeks!! It was a great surprise :) They had to come back to the main base because two of their guys needed medical assistance, nothing too serious tho, thank the Lord. So they won't be there for long, he can't tell me when they'll leave again but I know it's soon. Anyway, he gave me some exciting news, he said that when he re-enlists he's thinking seriously about changing his MOS to Intel (intelligence). No, I'm not sure what all that would mean, but I know it's safer than infantry. And not near as rough on his body!! That's what I'm most excited about. He needs his back, and his knees. He said that he will request a nicer base,too! So hopefully *fingers crossed* we'll get to move to a nicer base when he reenlists! Meaning that we'll stay in Twentynine Palms til August 2010 and then move somewhere else. I think. ANDDDDD Best of ALL!!!!! He's trying to get in with a non-deployable unit!! (Meaning he WON'T DEPLOY!) AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dream come true!! So please, PLEASE pray!

OH! You know what else today is?!?! 3 months down mark!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning 4 months left of this deployment!!!!!!! I am THRILLED! Compared to SEVEN months, 4 months sounds like NOTHING! I'm so excited. And this time next week I'll be @ the doctor, seeing if the baby is a girl or boy!! But we all know that it's a girl! We just have to get proof now.. :)

Okay well I guess that's enough UPDATE for now...

Thanks for reading!

Ok I APPEARED to be really pregnant in this dress But I'm not realy THAT huge. And sorry, the picture wouldnt flip.

Father's Day!

Happy Daddy's Day to my Papa & to my love, Josh! I love you both sooo much!

It was nice having Daddy here for a few days, and especially having him here today and being able to go to church service with us! I'm really scatter brained at the moment, so please excuse me if I'm being weird...Uhhh I can't think... OH! Last night all of us girls and papa went to Bridge Street (fancy new outside mall in huntsville) and ate at the two fast food places and then walked down to the water and let the girls play. It's really hot outside, like, so hot that my house is hot. And I have it on 67... My stomach's so tight right now I'm feeling heartburn-ish and lately at night my nose gets extra stuffy :( So I feel really bad right now. And my upper back is hurting, probably from laying on the couch! Ughhhhh. I'm a groggy, pregnant MESS right now!Anyway, here's some pictures from today. Miss you Papa, already!!

Love,Chynna

Papa Bear's in Town!

It's been a long week in my little world.. Guess because we've been waiting for my daddy to get here! We went swimming at Granny & Papa's yesterday. The heat index for the past 2-3 days has been 100 to 105! So the pool wasnt even cool! But it felt good. Daddy got to my house this morning at 9:30 and shortly after Valorie,Haven,Mazee, & Preslee came over to visit. We went & picked up Village Pizza and then by that time it was nap time, especially for Daddy. He drove through the night from Michigan. Whitney came over after she got off work at 4 so we just hung out and talked while the girls watched Lion King. I made dinner.. Daddy was impressed his little girl could cook, and I even cleaned the kitchen afterwards! Josh has taught me well :) Then I decided to take Whitney & Mia's pictures outside just for practice. We're going to find a prettier spot and take much better ones, I'll add some of her personal favorites below. Tomorrow Val & Mama are having a yard sale at Peaches & Cream so I'm sure I'll be up there too. Right now Papa bear & Me are watching Marley & Me. I've already seen it but he hasn't, he's doing his movie-laugh. Yall know what laugh I'm talking about :) It's good to hear! It's good to have him home!

Much Love, Chynna

Yard Salin'

I just realized why I am SO TIRED. I woke up at 6 this morning to go to some yard sales with Granny, Jessica & Jasmine. I was wondering why I've been yawning for the past couple hours. Didn't have much luck at the yard sales. That's okay.. I'll just go to thrift stores for some book shelves and hopefully find a dresser or two. My stomach has felt like it's stretching all day long! I can't seem to get comfortable. I'm not 'big' or anything *YET* but I think I'm on the way from after today's uncomfortable-ness... Sorry if I'm dragging or anything, I'm really tired. After the yard sales me & Jessica went to eat at Cracker Barrel, yum-my! Then got Ki Ki & we all went to Granny's since Jacob would be there soon & he's leaving today.. Afterwards Kinsley & I went to K-Mart (to avoid WalMart) and bought a few necessities. When we got home, I had a package waiting for us at the door! So exciting because I knew it was from my mister! :) He sent us the Iraq boot leg version of 'Walt Disney Collection' & on the back of it it has all the movies that are on the disks. It's a TON! We've been going thru the disks to see what all is on there. Some of the movies are REALLY CLEAR and some of them arent. To be expected I suppose! Right now we're watching Little Bear.. That doesnt even come on Disney, and it's not even a movie. But its okay, haha! We just got finished watching Madagascar, and it was really clear. She seemed to really like it! It's always fun getting things in the mail, especially from daddy. He wrote us both a really sweet letter and I read her hers and she smiled the whole time and said "awww this from da-da!" and hugged it. I've gotta stop, I think I'm going to fall asleep on the keyboard & its only 630!

Random pictures I took today!..

Josh's football jersey! And then just our Marine scrapbook.

Pain all Over!

Uggghhhh... I woke up at 6am in the fetal position feeling like I was going to rip apart if I moved! I went to the bathroom and was just pouring with sweat, I knew I was about to be sick, yuck! My stomach was KILLING me it hasnt hurt that bad in months! In fact I've not 'got sick' since I found out I was pregnant. And after this morning, I'm even more thankful! That's just terrible. Anyway I finally felt well enough to crawl in my oh so comfortable bed.. And fell back asleep til Whitney brought Mia over. She said she won't stop talking about Chuck-E-Cheese so I've decided to take the girls there AFTER their VERY LONG naps :) I've just gotta make sure I can get Preslee or one of my friends to go with me. I wouldn't wanna lose sight of one of our babies in Chuck-E-Land. My blog is titled "Pain all Over" because my throats hurting from getting sick, my backs hurting I guess just because I'm pregnant and that's part of the process, my head is hurting just because it hurts EVERY MORNING and my stomach hurts too. Probably from getting sick. So I've got all these pains every which way and it stinks!

I didn't write yesterday because I didn't have any adventures to write about! Kinsley & I just stayed in the house ALL DAY LONG while I washed both our bed sheets,etc. And did the nasty dishes. I even cooked us dinner. COOKED being the keyword! It wasn't anything difficult, just fetticini alfredo. It was sooo good. Then we went to bible class and came home and went to bed. Still haven't heard from Josh but I'm constanly praying for him & everyone else out there and their families. Not hearing from him is the hardest part. Maybe I'll get a package from him today that'll make me feel better! I'm expecting a package with a bunch of DISNEY movies he bought from Iraq. Hopefully they're not in Arabic. SURELY NOT!?!

Let me see if I can find some pictures to upload.. Just for fun.

These are from a few weeks ago, taken on our web cam! She loves looking at herself! :) Silly girl!

Later Gator!

Things to Come...

So in 21 days I will know what this little pea in my stomach is!! (I had the date wrong, its June 30 not July 1. Just a day difference.) And in a little over a week Papa Guy will be coming to visit!! I am sooooooo excited to see my Daddy! Seems like we only see him once every 6 months now. And when we do see him, it's not for a long time. It's like for a day. So hopefully we'll get more time together! We'll have to celebrate his huggeeee 50th birthday and Father's Day! Aww I wish I could talk to Josh on Father's Day :( Maybe he'll get to call... Bless his heart.

Today was another good day! Kinsley & I went over to Granny & Papa's around 2 and I ate a yummy grilled hamburger. Then we went outside and Papa had the grilled bbq chicken ready so yes, I did eat chicken too. Then I swam for a while with Jas, Jessica, Jacob, Uncle Larry & their cousin Kayela. They started playing games that I wasn't really into so I eventually got out because I'm lazy like that! And ate wedding cake and strawberry icing. I finished it off by eating a big ol steak. I'm pregnant, okay???? I mean when you give me all those choices to eat I can't say no to any of them I just need them all. :) They were all soooo good. My hair is still wet from the pool and that is really gross. But I washed it earlier today so I'm certainly not washing it again today! Ha!! :)

Here are some pictures from today..

There's Josh's *Papa* and that magical grille!

Uncle Jacob & Kinsley playing with the ball!

My dear sisters in law! Jes & Jas!

Sweet Summertime

Hello :) :)

Today was an awesome start for the week. I wish I could have more days like today. Whitney brought Mia at her usual time, I got the girls to lay down around 11 and they woke up at 1. I got them dressed, then headed over to Granny & Papa's house! It was such a beautiful day, perfect for swimming. Kinsley for some reason didn't want to swim, she's so attached to Granny she always wants to be where Granny is. So Mia got in the pool with me and we swam all day long. Jessica & Jasmine were also there along with two of their friends, oh & we can't forget Makenna! :) We played pool games for a long time, Granny brought us chips & 3 different kinds of dips & drinks too. It was a lot of fun. Then I came home to a VACUUMED DEN and WINDEX'D TABLES!! Thanks Mother!! That was the cherry on top of my day!

Tomorrow we are going back over there around 2, Papa's grilling out for Jacob since he's home we've gotta have a big BBQ! I always enjoy free food and the company of Josh's sweet family. I am so thankful to have them. Whether they realize it or not, they really comfort me when Josh is away & make me and Kinsley feel so loved. Wednesday I'll be going to get more blood drawn, this time it's to determine if our unborn baby has downsyndrome. Wow, I really don't like saying that. I pray all the time that God will give us another healthy baby! You really don't know how unbelievably LUCKY you are to have a HEALTHY BABY! The odds are against you and it's just a miracle if your baby is perfectly fine and I think we easily forget that. All of us and our babies have been so beautiful and healthy, we should thank God a lot more often for that!

Speaking of babies, mine is in her bed crying & I don't know why, she's been asleep for an hour now.. Whew, she has such a loud cry it hurts my ears even when she's a room away!! I checked on her & gave her water but she didn't get up. She does that sometimes. Bad dreams, maybe? Hope she gets over it soon, I can't stand hearing her just cry and not know what to do. :( That's the worst feeling, not knowing how to help your baby feel better!
I write a lot, I realize that. :) But I don't have my husband here to tell about my day or anyone else really so I just lay it out on here for the world to see. I am really,really missing him.
Pictures for my dear readers..........

Completely Exhausted.

Hi World,

Yesterday was my brother in law, Jacob and Elizabeth's wedding! I was her 'assistant' for the day and once we go going I didn't stop to breathe til about 9pm last night. I didn't sleep very well last night because Kinsley woke up and I was too tired to fight with her to get back in her own bed. So today has REALLY drug on for me and I'm so ready to get in bed. I already dozed off on the couch while Kinsley was sititng right next to me glued to her 'tb' (what she says when she wants me to turn it to her favorite channel, the Noggin). It just so happens I've been waiting for this Sunday to come for a long time, one of my favorite shows comes back on tonight, Army Wives! But anyway, their wedding was beautiful and of course she was too. I'll post some pictures right quick but I've gotta get off soon, its almost 9 and I want Kinsley in the bed before Army Wives come on. Oh, also today I went to Blake's parents 25th anniversary party. I told his mom that they really inspire me, I really admire anyone that's stuck it out 25 years together. It's so much easier to just give up.
Much Love, Chynna

Kinsley, Adrianna, And Elizabeth

Flutter...

Hello....

Okay it's morning time so I'm more motivated to figure this website out... The girls are trading SHOES and helping each other put them on their feet. Yesterday was so precious, they were coloring with crayons and Kinsley had the box and Mia would say, 'another one Ki ki' Kinsley would say, 'Okay, here go' Mia says 'Thank you.' Kinsley replies 'You elcome'. Every time they'd switch crayons or anything they'd always say Thank you and You elcome. It made me proud, mine and Whitney's hard work of repeating thank you and you're welcome is finally paying off! Anyway I woke up this morning and put Kinsley in her high chair with breakfast and I got to relax in the bath tub for a good while. When you become a mommy those little moments to yourself are taken away so when I get to take a bath without her trying to throw toys in or screaming, you really learn to appreciate it. I've been feeling little flutters in my stomach this morning, which is the baby kicking! When I read the word 'flutters' I didnt really think it'd feel like that but it's exactly what it feels like. Makenze came over yesterday to start the Harry Potter movies with me. We got through one and a half. That was a challenge, having both girls running in front of the screen and bringing in loud toys. But I didnt expect it to be easy or relaxing. After I finish this, I'm going to turn it back on and who knows maybe I'll lock up the girls in Kinsley's room..... Not a bad idea...... :) As soon as Whitney gets off work Kinsley & I are going to Granny & Papa's to eat, celebrating Jacob being home. Tomorrow he and Elizabeth (Fairley) are getting married! I wish Josh could be here to see his little (and only) brother get married. OH!! Yesterday FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERRRR Josh & I were able to webcam! He always gets to see me and Kinsley but we've never been able to see HIM! And we got to yesterday!! It was so exciting! It's the first time we've 'seen' each other since March! I can't wait to see him again in person... Come onnnnnn OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's covered in sand and dirt! But This is my husband in Iraq!! Come home soon! xoxo

This is my child.. She looks grumpy. Probably because she was! She's feeling much better since this picture though.

Makenna, Kinsley, Mia and Myself.

Long time no write..

Okay so I'm a nerd and am a part of this website too! Andrea, you weren't the first Stewart girl to find this site. Afraid I subscribed to this site in January. But you do a very good job of posting pictures in here, I dont know if I know how to do that yet. So since Andrea's on this site I figure I'll switch to here too. Goodbye shutterfly I guess. I'll leave that site open for those who want to look at my already uploaded pictures. Alyssa's on here too.... Yall remember her,right? :) She told me she joined this site so I looked at her page and remembered I had a sign in name on here too. Looking at my previous posts made me laugh. I certainly did get pregnant before Josh deployed!! :)

Well; let me try to figure out the picture adding to make my blogs more interesting!


Oh ok that wasnt hard to figure out! That's Mia myself and my neice on Josh's side, Makenna!

Ok now the picture thing has me stressed. I'll do it later
Thats Mia Kinsley Kenna and Me in Granny's pool



Love,
Chynna
