Duty day....

We've been super lucky in that Ben hasn't had duty in a LONG time but today our luck ran out. We sent him off at 0540 and won't see him until tomorrow probably close to lunch time. It is sad now to me that Kendall knows and understands that he is gone. It is very hard to explain to a 2 year old (over and over)that daddy can't come home from work tonight....at least it is not a deployment so I am not belly-aching too much!
She is pretty funny every morning with her send off to Ben. For some reason she thinks that the only car seat is in Ben's car. She will wave and holler bye! then scream "my seat, my seat!" I have had to open the burb up to show her that we still have another seat for her to ride in. What a great kiddo!
We are going to try to busy ourselves with lots of errands today and maybe a playdate with the girls from the group. Depends if I can get us ready in time for it!
I am anxiously awaiting my OB appt next week to see how Isaac and I are doing. I have gained 31 pounds so far and I am hoping to not go over the 36 that I had with Kendall. Several of my friends with boy/girl combo's have said that they consistently gained 10-20 pounds more with their boys than their girls....even if they are lying to me God Bless them for making me feel better :-)
Thanks to Tracie, Eric, Evie, and Everett....we loved the goodies for Isaac. I can't wait to see him in all of the puppy dog stuff!! What an unexpected surprise!!
