Tormala Times: Hello

Well, a lot has been going on, but haven't had a chance to blog. I have 6 weeks until the baby comes. It was officially scheduled for Aug. 12 at 7am, so getting excited! Baby is moving a lot and so is Jacob, so Mommy is tired most of the time to say the least. I actually had another checkup today and lost a pound. So that puts my total weight gain at 5 lbs, but the doctor isn't worried since the baby is growing and moving well.

Pete is in South Korea at Port Okpo. He is currently in an apartment at the shipyard. He should be able to get on the ship to start working in a few days. The ship is currently under construction and won't be completed until October. So he isn't quite sure what he will be doing until then, but he will find out as they feel the need to let him know:) It isn't that hard having him gone because we are used to it. The hard part is not knowing when he will be home. They said 4 months but that could change. The other hard part is the 13 hour time change, trying to plan when to call each other. Missing the birth of the baby will be hard too, but we planned on that happening, so it won't be a shocker that he isn't here, just disappointing the company won't let him come home for 2 weeks. Oh well, that's life of a sailor I guess.

I have a few new pictures of Jacob. I need to take more, but just forget because he is so busy and I am too tired most of the time to get the camera..lol. But here they are.
