Mommy to the Rescue!!!!!!

My mommy is here with me now :) she came down wednesday night, because at my doc app appointment on tuesday the doc said im dialated to a 1 and 50% effaced already. i know that isn't a big deal for some women, but i don't know if i'm one of them or not, and it is much better to be safe than sorry....so my mommy came down to be with me so i am not alone. we will see how i am at the next appointment in 2 days. part of me hopes it wont be too much longer because i dont want to take my mom away from the family for a majorly long time... but i just dont know. caleb talked to one of his sergeants and they told him he'll probably only get a weekend to come home, so now im thinking theres probably only a tiny chance he'll be here for the birth....but im trying not to panic and definently not to make him feel worse about it! my mom has been helping me get everything ready, and i've even put a picture of him in the hospital bag so he'll be with me no matter what. kinda cheesy i know...but it helped me feel less worried. i'm beginning to get excited to hold my little guy... :) due in less than 3 weeks now!

Visiting My Love

i am back from SC and seeing Caleb!!!! :) it was an amazing trip and I'm soooooo glad i got to go! and Caleb DID end up getting a weekend pass after reporting to AIT, so i got to spend a couple more days with him :). it was expensive, but worth it. And now things are going alot easier, since he gets a few hrs of personal time every day AND has his phone. so we can txt everyday, and talk on the phone :) and he has internet access to email and facebook! so far its making the continued separation much easier on me. he seems pretty excited about his MOS, which is 25U... something to do with computers and radios and technology lol. I'm just glad he finished his BCT and is excited about what is coming next for him :).

Jessica went home to Idaho today. She's probably on the plane right now as i'm writing this. i think she enjoyed her stay with me here, and i know she made ALOT of new friends, and i'm just glad she was able to make some good memories and make it a learning experience. I think she will have just as good of a time back at BYU-I. Now that she is gone, i'm going to be devoting my time to preparing the house for the baby, and gettting all of his things set up :) i'm probably going to start putting together a hospital bag soon. i'm beginning to get really nervous, and i'm trying to be as prepared as i possibly can lol. kinda pathetic i know. Melinda and Mitchell had their baby on the 1st. she was induced the 31st, and was exhausted by the end of the labor, but it went just fine. They named him Elisha Mitchell Hill. and he was born at 1:13 am, 8 lbs 13 ozs, 23 inches long. he was a big  boy! Makes me kinda of nervous about our little guy, but Eli is so cute that i start getting excited to meet my little Connor. Caleb is really excited too :) we're still hoping and praying they will give him a nice amount of leave so he can come home and spend some time with us. That is what i'm most stressed about. I'm terrified he won't even be here for the birth. so i try not to think about it.... but i know it worries him too. but i guess we just have to accept whatever happens and have faith.
