Last month or so

Alright, so it's been forever since I've posted, so this has turned out to be a pretty lame blog...sorry about that. Well, my life has been pretty eventful in this last month. First, my husband has been working AWFUL hours, and is heading out to sea soon. He is on his "fast cruise" which is a lame five day pretend underway. So, that's been fun. The only good part is that after Seatrials, which should be done by the end of the month, Mark will start PNEO (prospective nuclear engineer officer's exam) and that means a make your own schedule life, which we are looking forward to.
The other big news is that we "met" Pat, our baby. We aren't sure if it's a boy or a girl, but we should find out in about a month. The circumstances were not great, though, because the day before I landed myself in the ER. I guess I got the flu or something, because from 3-9am I could not keep anything down...water...nothing. I ended up getting several packs of fluids, medicine and a bunch of other crap. It was exhausting! So, after that ordeal I went in for a followup, and got an ultrasound! Mark was with me, and it was so amazing to watch the baby jump around and it sucked its thumb!!!!
So, in conclusion, we have had a busy couple of weeks, but it was so, gosh, indescribable to see our child. Even though I can't stand the whole 'Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes' thing, I understand why they use the words "amazing" and "incredible" when describing their relationship and the baby.
