Adam is on his way to Kuwait

Adam left this morning from Fort Stewart, Georgia for Kuwait. He will be in Kuwait for two weeks training and also getting used to the weather. After those two weeks, he will then go to Tallil, Iraq, where he will most likely be for the rest of his time in over there.

Adam will only have been in Iraq for about a week when he will come home for Griffey's birth. He will come home on one of the first few days of August and Griffey can be induced as early as the 6th if we want. My due date is the 13th, but I wanted Adam to be here early enough that he for sure wouldn't miss the birth, so we will probably have to induce earlier than the 13th, so that Adam and Griffey can have some time together before Adam leaves. He will definitely be here for 10 days, but he could be here for up to 24 days, depending on whether they give him his other two weeks leave now or not.

I am so nervous that Griffey will come too early though and Adam will get home after he is born! I am trying not to think about that though! I am starting to feel really large and slow and it takes me a long time to get out of bed! haha. I decided that although I don't want to be completely inactive and couch-ridden, I am definitely going to take it easy the next few weeks and make Griffey as relaxed and happy as possible so he won't feel the need to come out earlier than we want.

I can't believe I am already 35 weeks pregnant! That's just crazy! Overall, the pregnancy has seemed to go by pretty quickly and definitely very smoothly. I haven't been sick really at all. I had morning sickness for a couple days and I have had massive heartburn, but that goes away with tums. The only other issue is that my body has been reacting VERY negatively towards milk recently, so I decided to stay away from it for the most part.

I never really craved anything super badly or had to stay away from anything. The things that I did want though, were fruits (mainly citrus), limeade, orange juice, rootbeer milkshakes (I have to monitor my intake of those though, because I would have them for every meal!), and my favorite: frozen strawberries blended together with limeade ( I do have those for almost every meal!). Delicious!

I changed the weather icon to the right of the blogs, so not Kuwait's temperature is displayed. I can't believe how hot it is there and Adam is going to have to wear pants and long sleeves and lots of heavy layers. I feel bad for him!
