Gettin used to it all

This is the man i hate bein away from every week for 5 days. Military has put us in a different lifestyle for the past 7 months, and next few months to come. With him being in school i can only see him on weekends, and once in a while during the week at night for a little bit. Its far better than when i had to wait for him to have leave to come see me, so i am not complaining whatsoever. This last weekend i got him all to myself. They usually have to have a 'battle buddy' with them, another marine to be with them everywhere they go. But this weekend was nice to just have by ourselves.

This week focus is on Chloe, i will be visiting the Naval Hospital on camp Pendleton tomorrow. This is where i meet my doctor who will be taking care of us for the next few months, and deliever little Chloe. I am so excited to finally have her, mommy instincts are coming out like crazy, i am going a little baby crazy. I'm tired of carrying her, i want to hold her. We are really hoping that she comes after Jordan graduates school on April 15, she is due the 18.... Cuttin it close!

Jordan should be given a leave to help me out, and by then we will also know where we are being stationed. :) April will be one exciting month, and very stressful. Exciting also because my sister in law will be having a cute little boy!! I am so excited!! Grandma Gardner is going to have 3 grandkids within 1 year.. Lucky woman. :) April is the month to have babies in the Gardner/Easter clan over here. Its going to be amazing!

New year started off right!

First Christmas, and New Years together.. Perfect!

Jordan had to return to Cali on the first, it was a sad time for me. Once i feel like i finally have him back for real, he has to go again. :/ But this time i followed to Cali not too much later. I now live in Carlsbad CA, about 10 min away from where Jordan is at. I live with one of the nicest families you would meet, Judy and Steve Vigil. I have been able to see Jordan a lot more than i thought i would be able to, its really been good for me, i was goin a bit crazy in Utah.

Begining my new life in Cali has been a smooth ride so far, who can complain about warm weather?? Not me thats for sure! Chloe loves it, she has been so much more active here than she was in Utah.. The cold got to her.

Hopefully next week we will be going to find out who our doctor is (Cant choose doctors with tricare :/) and get some appointments to be going. My phone is telling me that i only have 87 more days of being pregnant.. Seems too soon for me.

Chloe Jordan Easter

We have finally decided on a name, Chloe Jordan Easter. :) When i told Jordan i had been thinking of Chloe as a name he said it was perfect. So we decided to keep it. We are so delighted to have her coming to us really soon.
I am currently packing up some of Chloes stuff, and all of my stuff to move to California on Jan 14. :) I am so excited!! This move will be really good for Jordan and i. We have been apart for so long, and its finally time to do anything we can to stay close. Especially with Chloe coming soon, i want Jordan as involved as he can be. He is so excited to have me down there, we can go to Dr. appointments together, we can finally see eachother more often, weekends and such.
Once Jordan graduates his MOS (job) school, we will be looking to move on base and be there right before Chloe is born.
Just a quick update before my next Dr. appointment.
