Sorry I have not been blogging lately....I'm finding it hard to even find time to eat or pee for that matter. D has been gone for a bit and its always go-time here in the Strysko household. We are surviving though, it was good practice for when D has to go on his looooonger camping trip:( which I can't even write about because it brings too many emotions for me right now. I'm praying about taking the boys up north to New England/Vermont for that time. I'm thankful that Davidson doesn't need to be in school now and I have that flexibility to travel to go see family during that time; plus I will have help! I have extremely great friends here but everyone has their babies, their lives and its hard to ask for help when I know they are going through the same exact journey. That is what I love to be around though, because they get me. They get my family, they get my emotions and they just get the army life. At home it's really tough because I feel like no one gets it at times. They really try to get it and try to understand but it's a totally different life than the normal lives a lot of my friends live. I get extremely jealous over their "normal lives," which I hate because I have never been the one to be jealous over things; but when it comes to this, it gets me. I'm working on it and praying God gives me contentment in this life.
Anyway, Alexander and Davidson are doing great. Well....Davidson is turning 3 soon and he is fresh and just so silly. The other day he sat on my lap and said,"mummy your legs are pokey like a pine cone!" :) Thanks baby this is what a mother of two and no hubby ever around feels like. We laughed and went on to playing pirates, bad guys, good guys and throwing our food like grenades. The other day while getting out of the car he wanted the horrible angry birds gushy fruit snacks I bought him from Food Lion so I said, "ok, since you have been a good boy in the last hour(!) I will give you some." He said back, "Oh, Mom! You're my best, favorite girlfriend." I have no clue where he comes up with these things. He is a character and totally his father all the way. Baby A is doing great. He is 8 lbs. and 21 in. long now. He eats, sleeps, smiles, coos, makes sounds like a lamb and sleeps and is finally back to pooping every day (he took a few days off from that). He is my little lamb, turtle, bear sweetness. He rarely cries except when I take to long to feed him. He loves Davidson, he stops crying and instantly tracks him when he comes around him. I'm loving being their Mummy, and can't wait till D gets home so I can sleep, eat and go to the bathroom ALONE!
