Pic Update

Just took some pictures of little Kinsley at the playground today & wanted to post them.
She thinks she's at the beach because the playground's ground is sand! So I'm tickled she's so satisfied :) She kept saying, "Mama, we're at da beeech!" and was so brave going down 3 different slides! She liked the swirly one, I'm pretty sure it's because she could control how fast she went down it, instead of going straight down on the other two. Can't say I blame her! I woke up at 5am today & hit the road by 530 (still very DARK OUTSIDE!) I got to 29 in plenty time for my appointment with housing lady. Gotta go back Tuesday to get the keys to our new home!! Movers are suppose to be picking it up by Tues or Wed and will deliver between next Sat and two weeks after that. Please pray that it gets here soon, I don't want to wait another 3 weeks! :(

Anyway, PICTURES...
Love,

Getting ready to leave for the airport! With her Dora dress on that she looooves.

Thanks for reading/looking :)

And WE'RE BACK!

Welcome to Sunny San Deigo! :)

We made our arrival yesterday afternoon! Couldn't have asked Kinsley to be sweeter. She is growing up into my mature little Diva. I got several compliments about what a 'good traveler' she is! She's soaking up every moment we have had in California. Aunt Elizabeth showed Kinsley 'her room' and Kinsley thinks the world of it. She twirled in little circles and said, "Mama, this MY room!!!!". She's tickled and it makes it that much easier to move back! I called housing this morning and set up an appointment for tomorrow at 0900 (how she told me, I guess I've gotta get back to using Military time!) to sign the housing papers, she will also give me my address! I'm so sooo excited. She told me by Tuesday I could move in! How amazing is all this working out?!? As soon as she gives me the address I'll call my movers and tell them so they can hurry & get my stuff and be on their way! Woo ho0oo0o.... :) OH and today between 5 & 8 my Jeep will be here! So tonight when it gets here we're going to just go ahead and drive to 29 since I have to be there at 9 in the morning (and it takes almost 3 hrs to get there from here!)

Other than that, We had a good weekend! Said goodbye to friends on Friday, and then Josh's fam on Saturday. Went to church Sunday & told sisters/neices bye then me ma & Kins went to Nashville! Sunday night we ate at the Rain Forrest Cafe and had a delicious dessert called Volcano.. Mmm Mmm MMMM! We shopped on Monday & then Tuesday morning flew away to California!

Update you later! Everything is going just perfect so far... Josh is going to be here SOO SOOOOONN!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Love!

Finally a calm moment!

Whew!!
I feel like I've been going 90 to nothing for the past WEEK!! Andrea, Lily, and Mollie got in Athens on Friday at lunch, then my friends gave me a baby shower that night. Saturday, Andrea helped me pack up ALL of our stuff at Granny & Papa's, which took a lot of energy out of me, especially since it was so hot in that room. Then we ordered Dominos that night and watched 17 Again. Sunday, Papa got in so we went to church then straight to Nanny's house for lunch with a lot of Papa's side of the family! No naps for anyone that day, church again, then bedtime!! Monday morning we all went to eat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast, then came back, took naps, then it was time for Mia's birthday party!! Another late night! Tuesday we got to sleep in a little cause Andrea took her girls and Mia to Grandaddy & Marcia's. Then I had to hurry & go through a bazillion baby outfits 0-6 months before Andrea wanted to leave at lunchtime!! Said bye to them, Papa took all our new baby stuff/our clothes to the storage, then had to tell him bye that night! :(

Yesterday (Wed) I had my dr's appt where I had to drink that glucose drink before my appointment, gross. I took Kinsley to Whitney's work so she could hang out there while I went, afterwards we met Lizzy for lunch at ChickFilA.. Naptime, then Mama wanted to take us to Cracker Barrel before church!! WHEW!! I'm worn out just typing it!

And can't forget TODAY!! Chaos, because I had an eye appt at 940am but had nobody to watch the girls while I went. So I called dr @ 8am and of course they had no other appt time available! So I just took Kinsley with me and Mia went to work with her mommy. They fixed my glasses, that have been broken for, I'm not kidding, almost a year! I just needed a screw to put one side back on. (I've been keeping them together with tape or a bandaid these past months!) She tightened them for me and everything. It's awesome its like I have new glasses! She dialated my eyes with this terrible BURNING eye drop stuff! It felt like (I would think) Pepper spray feels like! ahhh!! 15 minutes later you couldnt tell if where my eye color started and pupil ended, I looked like our cat Natalie when she'd get really serious...... We have the same color eyes. :) Anywho, that's not my whole story!! Since she fixed my glasses I was wearing them, and I guess they assumed I came in with my glasses so they didn't remind me to get my contacts before I left (also, every other time I've been to an eye doc they give me trial ones right away and throw my others away.. not this time tho) So the lady behind the desk handed me this UV protection glasses that you put behind your glasses so when you go outside you can actually see. I looked like a total nerd! Not to mention, my glasses arent the right prescription AND just add in the fact that it had been raining, so the roads are slick and everythings really blurry to me. I looked ridiculous and drove like an old lady. But we got Mia safely and home to Whitney's safely too! Thank you Lord for watching over us! :)

I have SOOOOOOOOOO many pictures from this past week it's ridiculous..... I'll probably just add the FEW *very few* I edited, I've been so busy lately I've not had time to edit!
XOXO,
Chynna
[we'll be in CA in 5 days! holy molyyy]

Quick Update

I'm basically updating just to post my pictures from the baby shower Tuesday night!
Lots of cute stuff, lots of fun! And ooh, lots of good food too :)
We're excited about Lily & Mollie coming to visit tomorrow! I keep reminding the girls & they get excited.. Andrea, we're excited about you too! :)
So let's see...
OH!!!
Yesterday I got the best phone call you can hope for while your Marine is off at war... It was from the Family Readiness Officer, and she gave us dates of when to expect our Marine in Twentynine Palms! Of course I can't disclose the dates in here online because there's terrorist out there creeping online looking for these dates!! But it's THE BEST FEELING knowing that they've got their plane BOOKED to COME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thrilled!! I haven't heard from Josh in ALMOST two whole weeks :( I wonder how long this is going to last! Honestly though, time's been going by really fast. And it can keep going fast, all the way until his homecoming!
Alright so here's the pictures, there's several, can't help it!!

Love,
Chynna

The Time Traveler's Wife

Oh man,
I just had to dedicate my title to that because I went to see it last night, and it's seriously the best movie I've seen in a long time. I don't think I've ever watched a movie in my LIFE that has made me seriously CRY. I can easily tear up in several movies but to actually cry and have to take a breath inbetween tears, wow. Of course you're thinking it's because I'm pregnant but my friends surrounding me were JUST as bad as I was! Makenze was worse, actually. :) It was really good and I recommend you to go see it! I want to see it again, IN THEATER, and I can't say that about any other movie!

But anyway, this weekend was a lot of fun. Friday [Josh's] Papa grilled out chicken, hamburgers, hotdogs, and steak and then had a bonfire afterward! Saturday his Papa made chicken stew for everyone, then that night me, Kinsley, Preslee, Mama, Whitney, & Mia went to Bridge Street. We ate at Red Robin, then let the girls watch the water.. Mia got too close, she couldn't help herself!! She loved it. I didn't really have to worry about Kinsley getting wet because she's afraid of the water that shoots up from the ground. Lucky me. :) I wanted to shop for jewelry, but my stomach is in so much pain, it's like this little girl inside me is 10 lbs and is leaning on one side! It hurts really bad to walk most days. And today, I'm experiencing LOVELY shortness of breath. I read online (my other Dr) that it's completely normal. OF COURSE IT IS!!!!! Every ache and pain in pregnancy is normal! It's not normal if it hurts to inhale though. But it's not hurting. It just feels like I'm obese and can't get a good breath. I feel bad for obese people now, they really don't know how easy they could have it! Just breathing correctly could make them a happier person! And my legs, feet, arms, and hands fall asleep if I leave them in any kind of position too long. So it's like I have ADD and can't sit still. Then I'm not breathing right so I look like I'm in an invisible pool coming to the surface everytime I try to take a huge breath!! I must look so silly....

Oh!! So tonight is my baby shower! Jasmine [my sister in law] has kindly offered to host me one at her house. I'm soooo excited, who doesn't love baby stuff?!?! I'm really thinking that I like the name Abriella. I just can't come up with a middle name. I think Josh will like the first name though. And she could have different nicknames like Abby, Bri, and Ella! I think it's cute. I'd probably want to call her Ella for short. Not for sure tho. I also like Brynlie. To me Abriella is just so cute and girly, that's why I'm leaning towards it!!

Andrea, Lily, & Mollie will be here around lunch Friday (Lord willing) and Papa Bear will be here Sunday!!!!!! Then Monday we'll have Mia's bday party at Chuck-E-Cheese (extra excited because I love their pizza) So it's just gonna be a great week/weekend!
Anywho, it's very difficult for me to sit here and type this because I have all these problems going on so I must go now, I'll add pics too!
Much Love,
Chynna

Granny's 1st motorcycle ride!! With Josh's cousin, JOHN! & His Harley Davidson (Don't be jealous, Daddy!)

She looks like that b/c she was so upset Granny got on the motorcycle, she was afraid she was going to get hurt! Isn't that so sweet? She loves Granny.

19 days til take off.

Hey my little readers, whoever you may be..........

First off I'd just like to say, Excuse me if I sounded 'rude' in my last blog, that last part. Sorry if I over express myself, but you've got to keep in mind that not only are you reading a pregnant woman's words, but my HUSBAND and daughter's FATHER is in Iraq, off at WAR. So if I'm a little stressed here and there, don't think I'm always that 'rude'. [But, Andrea, I think you're the only one who reads this anyway, so you understand completely, I'm sure.]

Okay, moving on to other things!

The day I went to get my ultrasound, I had lunch with Blake, Kristal, & Ashley. Then we went to see "My Sister's Keeper" (really good, by the way!) So the pictures at the bottom are of us in the movie theater! Blake will make a really good husband, and daddy one day. If he's ever ready. :) No, I'm kidding, I'm proud he's not in a rush! Kristal & Ashley are sweet girls, as usual. That pizza we ate at Mellow Mushroom was deeeeelicious! I want some now, actually.

This morning has been great! Whitney bought Mia this super neat bubblegum machine that you put a penny in to get a piece. We're using it to encourage them to go potty. So far, Kinsley and Mia both have gone once! They'd do anything for bubblegum, so I'm hoping they'll stay interested, because they really need to be potty trained, haha! Whitney found Mia a school to start once we go back to California! I'm so glad that Whitney liked the lady and the kids and the location of it all. God takes care of us!

Haven't heard from Josh since Saturday, because a few hours later they were leaving for 'the field'. A Marine wife called me last night to let me know they tore down the internet/phone centers closest to our Marines. So, who really knows when I'll hear from Josh again. I hope he'll get to be on a base with phones sooner than later. If not, it's okay, I've handled it before! Besides, we're leaving for CA in less than 3 weeks now, so time's gonna start flying & he will be safe & sound at home REALLY SOON!!

I just got a quick phone call from my Daddy! Trying to figure out when I'm leaving for CA. I'm praying he and Andrea both will get to come up before we leave.. Because, Josh has told me more than once that we're not going home for Christmas, so who KNOWS when we'll get to come home next?!!? :(

I guess this is it for now. Oh, today I'm 26 weeks pregnant exactly! Wooo hoo, getting fatter everyday ;)

Love,
