A lot is trying to happen.... I think...
This past monday we finally received Robbie's divorce paperwork it the mail. Yay!!!! Slight problem is the dates are all screwed up and the date that matters is completely illegible even on the original. Yay!!!! Seriously would be nice to catch a break.
THANK YOU TEXAS.
Ok so nothing changes until we can sort out this issue. All the marriage papers are pretty much ready go to. So we are just waiting on the D papers still.
Please keep us in your prayers as far as getting me shipped off.
I did have a doctors appointment today, and me and Baby are doing well. I do not have gestational diabetes, so bring on those cookies!! haha :P Just kidding. All my numbers are good and things are progressing normally. So we do have that GREAT NEWS to lean on.
Until then...

Summertime!!
HOly Moly it's hot out there! Thank God for cotton summer dresses, flip flops, and hair ties. Without them I would surely melt.
This summer has been so extremely busy for the most part. I have been so blessed to have the time to spend with family and friends. I have been out to eat more in the last few months than probably my whole life. Breakfast lunch and dinner. And I'm not complaining! haha. In fact I have lunch plans today and tomorrow! I am also going to Ellenton Outlet Mall today. I gotta hit up the Carter's Store!! I am very excited about that one! :)
Well I had my 3 hour Blood Glucose test this week. They drew my blood a total of 5 times within 3.5-4 hours. While fasting, and only had this pure sugar drink. I don't have the results yet, but I do have a bunch of tiny bruises to show for it. Seriously they should just give you an I.V. and a sedative and wake you up when it's over. It wasn't a big deal, besides the starvation, and then the messed up stomach after finally eating.. haha. It just took all day and they stuck me 5 times. So you can see my logic, no? :) Hopefully everything will come out normal, and I can get back to eating my dessert!! (just kidding... sort of) I have a doctors appointment a week from tomorrow, so we'll know then!
As far as Germany goes, we are still waiting on Robbie's divorce to be final... stupid paperwork keeps getting messed up. In any case, movement is happening so that is a blessing!! Keep praying my warriors!! Hopefully we'll have a resolution to that in the next week or so. And our marriage paperwork is almost complete and to the place who will be marrying us. All they need is that divorce paper. Once that happens, hopefully things will be full speed ahead.... I know I'm going to freak out slightly when that does happen, because I will be getting closer to leaving. As excited and happy and joyful as it makes me to join my hubby, the daddy of our son, and our new home... I still get anxious about leaving my life here. Again... easiest and hardest thing in the world.
This Saturday, we are having the worlds most awesome yard sale at the Carlisles! Jason has been and will be the most biggest help with all of this.. I think he shouldv'e been a professional yard saler.. he gets so excited about it! :) In any case, he is transporting my JUNK all over the planet getting it to his house and they have allowed me to store my JUNK in their garage for a while now.... I am so greatful for the Carlisle's! They are my awesome friends and I am so greatful for the time I have had to spend with them and their family. So COME OUT TO OUR AWESOME YARD SALE!!! AND TAKE HOME SOME TREASURES!! haha
Alright, well I better wrap this up, fixing to get my shop on!! Yes!!
check back for more!!
Love ya'll!!

Belly moving!
Hey guys,
I made this video for Robbie.. getting creative so he can see the belly move!! :) haha I noticed at night when I'm watching tv that when I rest the remote on my belly it moves all around! So cool. And this is the easiest way for me to share it with Robbie (that I know of as of yet). Will be learning more about our new camera, we used it to make this and my computer of course. Hopefully they will get more professional as time moves on!! :) Love ya'll!!
P.S. This is approx. 20 minutes of footage cut down to about 2 minutes of the best stuff! Enjoy!!

Shower and Sonogram Update!!
So my shower was completely awesome. Seeing my girls was wonderful. I didn't want anyone to leave!! haha. Crystal did an excellent job planning! And mom and Sandy and Katie and Andrea and Sherry and all the helpers that helped out did an awesome job setting up, cooking, and making it happen! Thank you ladies so very much for throwing such a wonderful party and making my day, week, month! We are so prepared now for Baby Robbie, it's awesome. Thanks everyone for all the wonderful sweet gifts. I can't wait to dress up Baby Robbie and take pictures in all his cute outfits and using all of his precious gifts! And Dad was sure excited to see everything. He sends his love and his gratitude for the shower and all the gifts. He couldn't believe it all!!
Today I had my sonogram and it went wonderful! Baby Robbie is 2 lbs. and 6 oz. so far. :) Right on schedule. All his parts are in place and functioning as they should be! Here are some pics of my sweet baby boy.

Good night to all!
So I had a wonderful time with my 2 girlfriends who flew in for my shower tomorrow. I got to spend the day with them eating and shopping and eating. haha It was such a wonderful thing that they flew in to hang out before I go to Germany.
Speaking of I'm getting very excited about. I think after my shower tomorrow, I am going to be so much more antsy to get over there and set up our nursery! haha. It's going to be hard to be patient after that.
Also for some reason I am getting anxious about the shower tomorrow. I don't know why, I am just excited and tired maybe. I don't know. I know it will be wonderful and I can't wait to see what my ladies have planned!
I miss my Robbie so much. My belly is getting so big, he is going to be shocked when he sees me in person! haha. I send pictures all the time but it's not quite the same. I don't like the fact that my weight is now spreading to other regions of my body... I know I'm pregnant and all, but I can't wait to start running again hopefully by the end of this year.
Robbie is doing well. He is still working hard and resting hard on the weekends. :) He has met some friends and been jamming on the guitar some weekends, so that is good. He cannot wait for me to be there too though. We are getting excited at the near future.
ok well I better head off to bed so I can get my beauty sleep for this party tomorrow! And Baby Robbie too!
Love ya!

Newfound energy surges within me, and my heart fills with optimism.
My devotion today was on confidence. I have always thought that my fruit of the spirit was faith. Throughout all the trials I have faced, I have always been faithful in knowing that God was by my side, and no matter what it would work out as long as I was true to my faith.
The section in my devotion that stood out for me today was: "I then turn to God in prayer, allowing God's presence to illumine my mind and heart. In the silence, I reconnect with the essence of my being. Newfound energy surges within me, and my heart fills with optimism."
It is interesting that today Robbie and I had this very conversation about how we were both feeling optimistic about obstacles in our life. And we have both been praying like crazy about this specific thing that is out of our hands. Regardless of the outcome, we must remain faithful. I think faith is half the battle in keeping optimism and sanity. ha :) I know that it sure beats the path of worry.
I am steadily challenged to keep the faith. And that is what I am going to do...
On a completely different note, my baby shower is this Saturday! And my girls have something cooking that I can't wait to see! I am so excited about seeing all my girlfriends from around everywhere. I also have this weird but happy feeling that like I am finally getting prepared for Baby Robbie. And that I will have a child soon. And my heart is overcome with joy that I just want to cry sitting here typing this.. although I'm trying to stop.. haha
I hope I don't cry at the shower.. man. That will be embarrassing, but sometimes I just can't help it! Ok I'm good. This baby has been kicking all around. I started feeling him this week above the belly button. haha. Im thinking.. uh oh.. the painful part is coming.. I just know it. :) But so far, I love all his little flips and bumps. They are precious, and I just rub him with cocoa butter, haha, and tell him that rub is from his daddy. And to go easy on the stretch marks... none yet, but I'm prone to it..eep!
My grandmother has been so gracious letting me stay here. This has been the perfect place for me to be. Right in the center of everything. And I have such a big and spacious place to live. And privacy of my own. We were so blessed to have this room available. And I thank God for her everyday. Don't worry Grandmother, I will be out of your hair someday!! haha :)
On doctor visits, I have a Genetic Counseling appointment on Monday the 12th at 11:00 where they are going to go over some genetic stuff... We have some weird thing in our family that we just happen to know about that is similar to lactose intolerance, so we are going to learn more about that (my mom is accompanying me, she loves all that genetic doctor stuff) and then on Wed. the the 14th, I have a Level 2 Sonogram, this isn't the 3D one, I believe they just take a long look and make sure all the organs are there and growing. My mom and Robbie's mom Sandy are going and Sandy is going to try and video tape if they will let us so we can send it to Robbie. I also have blood drawn around the 20th, and my next doctor appt. is the 22nd I think... gotta check on that. So anyhow, July is looking to be a BUSY MONTH!!!
Ok well that's all I got for now... I will upload some new pics for your enjoyment!
Love ya'll.

P.S. If anyone knows anyone who wants a piano, I have one for free. They just have to move it.
