Been a while . . .Update

It's so hard to believe how time can be so slow and yet so fast all at the same time. The past few weeks have crawled by and yet I can't believe it has been two months since my last post. So a quick few updates. Next week I will catch everyone up on B's birthday and our crazy Easter weekend. I had plans on doing it this past week however S took off with the camera that still has my pictures on it. While it is still a month away we are very rapidly approaching my due date, June 4th. A friend will be flying in the beginning of next week and then all the girls will be heading to Anchorage for a few weeks of relaxing and shopping while we wait for the baby to decide to get here.
For those wandering why the extra trip, we have decided to attempt a natural birth rather than planning another C-section. The hospital on Kodiak does not allow attempted VBAC due to policies on emergency C-sections so I have to deliver in Anchorage where the facilities are better equipped in the event of an emergency.
S will be following us a week later as the Coast Guard does not allow additional time off, which is why our friend was gracious enough to come stay with me. I can't be in medical housing without a chaperon and yet my husband isn't allowed off. I know lots of things don't make sense about the whole process.
So we are rapidly discovering we are running out of time to get all of our projects completed prior to leaving. We have been working on getting the yard ready for flowers and hopefully some grass. S has been working on getting lines and nets set up for fishing season which starts shortly after we leave. And today we have finally gotten the baby's room set up, somewhat. Not knowing if it will be a boy or girls makes it a little difficult to really decorate however we do have the crib set up with a set of white sheets that I had. We will finish decorating when we get back. Next on the list of things to finish is the garage and I'm having serious doubts as to whether or not we will finish it. So I guess I need to get back to work.
