Daployment day one

As well as adding a photo a day on my facebook I am going to try to post a short blog each night with our day to keep track of everything going on while Patrick is gone. I want to use it to remember things to tell him when we get to talk and so he can read if he has the time :) I'm horrible at blogging on a regular basis but I'm going to try hard!

Day 1- Mom is still here with us this week. We all woke up tired this morning. After our long/exhausting/emotional day yesterday, Bailey was up off and on all night with outburst of screaming so no one in the house got much sleep for the second night in a row. Once we got ourselves up and around we were to base for Bailey's 12 month well check (a few weeks late) and they gate guard would not let us on base in my rental car. I went on base three different times yesterday and did not have one problem so I was quite frustrated to say the least. I had to go into the visitor center to get a pass and since I didn't have my rental agreement with me (I know, big no no but it has been a stressful week and somehow it got brought in the house.) so right there in the office I started crying. The man asked where I lived and I told him and there was just now way I could get home and back before Bailey's appt so I guess he felt bad for me standing there balling like an idiot so he wrote the pass and we went on our way.

Miss Bailey is 22 lbs and 29 1/4 inches long and very healthy! She is cutting a lot of teeth so he said that is the cause of all the fussiness we are experiencing now. She is way ahead in all developmental stages! She had to get three shots. Mom and I both started crying with her when they gave them to her :-( Like I said, it has been a very long/stressful/emotional couple of days with very little sleep and every little thing sets me off! She was fine after a few minutes of course. When we left, my gas light was on so we went straight for the gas station and barely made it with the crazy base traffic! A late lunch was next on our list of things to do and we were all starving! We had chick-fil-A! When we got in the car to leave the gear shifter was stuck and so we couldn't go anywhere. I had to call the rental company and they sent someone out to get us a new car. She actually fixed it by man handling it and so we kept the car we have and continued on with our day. Next was food lion then home!

Mom and Bailey went for a little walk around the block while Hershey and I went on our usual 2 mile walk with the girls! We played outside for a while when we got back then came in and put Bailey boo to bed! Poor thing has had a rough couple days! Mom and I are going to watch a little tv and get to bed early!



Picture for the day- Bailey enjoying her brownie at Chick-fil-A! We don't usually get dessert but we decided we all deserved a little chocolate fix today! Yum!
