Another tremor

This morning we had another tremor!!! Everyone has said it was worse than the first one we had, but to me it didnt seem like it was. That could be in part though that Chris was home this morning when it happened and I was already awake! Abby was outside and immediatly ran in the bedroom and jumped on the bed with me....she is so scared of everything! Hopefully the tremors are the worst thing we will experience while here!
We had hopefully our last cookout of the season this weekend. I love being around people but I'm so uncomfortable and tired all the time that its almost not enjoyable anymore. My ribs have been killing me the past week and I was sick on Sunday and Monday. I thought I was coming down with a bad cold so I didn't get out of bed and hopefully kicked it. Sleeping has become more uncomfortable too, every position I think is comfortable she doesnt! I can't even imagine what the last month is going to be like! Other than that things are still quiet around here. Chris found out he is NOT going to Iraq next year! And I will leave at the beginning of November for Yokosuka and the 23rd of Nov my mommy comes!!

Our first Typhoon

Well we made it through our first typhoon experience. It wasn't even near us...probably about 70miles away but we still got gusts up to around 45mph and some rain. The power went out, but only shortly-so to sum it up- small storm with high winds. But I'm very thankful for that, I do not wish to experience anything worse!
We had an appointment yesterday, and my doctor is putting the paper work in for my trip to Yokosuka to deliver. I am leaving the first week in November and wont be able to go to the Marine Corps Ball, but thats okay. I wore a khaki skirt to my appointment and my doctor was amazed b/c it wasn't maternity! Not sure how much longer I can wear my normal pants and skirts though! The only reason I can wear any of it though is b/c of how low it is on my waist.
Anyways my English classes are going well, I love the girls. Two weekends ago we went to Yokosuka to see Tucker, Shane and Kevin (3 guys from the Academy Chris played ball with) and that was fun. The guys were going crazy over my belly and kept talking to her, it was really cute! And we got to see the base and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the labor and delivery nurses. She told me a lot about the hospital and the staff. I definatly feel like I made the right decision choosing to deliver up there.
Other than that, things are pretty quiet and going well. Sorry for taking to long to update!
