I am officially sick of this separation. At this point I don't care what he's doing for us, I want him to COME HOME. His son is starting to call other people dadda and wants nothing to do with me. When I try to hold him or play with him he reaches for his Auntie... Boy I feel loved...
I have a new job, working in a warehouse on an assembly line. It's a good job, gives me something to do I guess. I have to be up at 4am to be there on time tomorrow. Yay. I'm not in the mood to write anymore, so this is it.

Days 39-43
Wow have I lagged on my blogs! I promise I will start keeping up again from now on!!! Not much has really happened the last five days. Seriously, I have been driving back to my house to get the mail and exercising and that is about it.
Today we took Tiny baby to the doctor and found he has a stomach bug and severely dry skin, and that his ears are healing from his infection. Cody called last night for almost a half hour and we just talked about pretty much anything we could think of. He has been going to church and is thinking about getting the priesthood again!! WOOT!
I tried to resend him some stuff today but wouldn't you know it, the dang post office was closed due to "technical issues". What the heck?! Tiny Baby was super grumpy today, and he had trouble going down to bed tonight being so sickly and grumpy. And we are putting super lotion on him for his skin.
We have begun the planning for the trip to see Cody, and I start a new job tomorrow! It's temporary, which is spectacular since I will need like two weeks off. But that's more money I can put away for the trip!!!
I will be heading to bed soon, so I will keep this one short. Cody we love you!!!

Days 37-38
It has been so busy lately, we haven't had much time to do anything!! We came to stay at my in-laws because the pipes are so bad and the one in my room is rusted through and leaking so my room STINKS. So yesterday we packed up some stuff and came to stay here. Tori and I went to the D.I. and got Tiny Baby some really cute clothes!! We got one of Cody's checks so I was able to pay a majority of the bills, FINALLY!!! Thank goodness. By the time we got home, we were all three exhausted.
Tori and I got some movies to hang out and watch together. We got "Horrible Bosses", "Happy Feet Two", "Dolphin Tale", "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", and "The Muppets". So far we have watched the "Dolphin Tale" one, and I watched "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" before going to bed last night.
Today, Tori and I went back to our house and cleaned up as much as we could while Grams watched the baby. We have to get it all cleaned up for when the Health Inspector gets called in. We also took pictures of all the crappiness and even got a video of the sink backing up on itself! It was so nasty we had to get gloves to clean it out.
Then we picked up Shane and Shae from work before we went home, ate some dinner and put the little man to bed. OH we also mailed Cody about 60 pictures!! HAHA!!!
Take THAT Cody!!! We love you baby!!!

Day 36
We had a pretty adventurous day today! Tiny Baby and I both slept (after a rough night) until about 9am, and once we awoke, I again stalked out mailman. Mr. Mailman doesn't know he has such an avid fan... I should make him cookies one day, to thank him with my irritating way of making him pull a letter out of my mailbox every morning addressed to the same exact address, every day but Sunday haha!
So after I stalked the mailman and got my short little letter from Cody, I ran downstairs to sit in Tiny Baby's room and read it to him. He sent us a form with his marksman scores, and he did pretty damn good! I think he only missed two shots out of the whole thing, and passed everything on it. He's eating better than I am, go figure.
So I got Tiny Baby ready for the day, and then he decided to take a nap after playing on the floor in his room for awhile. While I waited for him to wake up from his nap, I decided I was going to take him to the park!! So when he woke up, we got ready and headed for Eagle Mountain, where we picked up his Auntie Tori, and Mommy had some yummy cake!
We finally left for the park, but the one we wanted to go to was packed so we went to the one in Lehi because it had baby swings! Tiny Baby was so cute in his swing! And when we put him on the weird little slide thing, he started climbing the stairs!!! O.o That was new. After taking lots of fun pictures, and Tiny Baby throwing up on us, we went and got Papa Murphy's for dinner, and headed back to Grams' house.
We had dinner and watched The Voice, which was sort of entertaining. And Tiny Baby loves his jello and puffs!! So that's basically what he had for dinner. After dinner, Auntie Tori brought him downstairs to see Grampy, and when she was coming back up the stairs, let Tiny Baby climb up them! Boy did he find THAT amusing!! He was also grumpy EVERY time we put him in his carseat! Goodness did he get mad...
When I finally left for home, I stopped by mom's and picked up the stroller so I would have it in the jeep for when I need it anywhere. We barely made it to the gas station so we could make it home, and then when we got home, no one was here. So now I am all paranoid. Tiny Baby went right to sleep, and I found a picture of Cody on the Bravo page! It made me cry. Now I am going to finish my letter to Cody and go to bed!!
36 days until we leave to come see you Cody!!!

Days 33-35
It's been a hectic couple of days so I haven't been able to post for them. So Friday I babysat all night for the sweetest little girl, and made a good payment off it. So now I have some gas money. We FINALLY figured out what was wrong with Cody's checks not coming in! We got a phone call AND a letter from Cody on Saturday at the same time! And today was an adventure.
So what was wrong with Cody's check was that their payroll system had our account number, but it was MISSING a number. So all I had to do was call the bank and give them both numbers, and they said they'd reroute the checks to my account. So by Tuesday we should be homefree!!! Huzzah!
Then Friday night I babysat all night, hanging out with the cutest sweetest little girl! She kept sharing cookies with me! Tori and Grams came and got the baby because I didn't have the playpen for the baby. So when I got done at 7:30 in the morning they offered to keep Tiny Baby while I slept for the day, and I could come have dinner with them and pick up Tiny Baby.
So I got home, threw on some comfy clothes and DOVE into my bed, I was SO tired. I slept for about 4 hours, when around 12:30 a phone number calls that I've never seen before and wakes me up. I look at it, don't know it and click ignore. Well it immediately calls back. So I stared at my phone for a few seconds and said okay FINE. So I answered and it was CODY!
That phone call threw me so out of whack its ridiculous. I couldn't hear half of what he was saying, and he wasn't saying much anyway, he seemed distant... And I felt bad because the baby wasn't there. So that phone call made my Sunday VERY boring. But I was glad to hear his voice... He says he's doing okay and feels better and that he got a few of your letters, and will write when he can.
Anyway, so last night I picked up the baby and had dinner at Grams house. Tori and I made a trip to the store for snacks, too. Then on the way home we stopped for more snacks. Twice. -.- Yep. So we finally got home and went to bed. We got up early in the morning, after a night of NO sleep for me, and went to Home Depot for a board so dad could make a gate across the top of the stairs, and stopped at Smith's for some stuff for dinner. We got to their house, sat around for a bit then went to church.
Church was boring, as it always is for me. But I tried to pay attention and not fall asleep. The baby was cranky because he hadn't had his nap, and so we took him back to Grams after sacrament was over. This is about the time Tori comes up the stairs from changing out of her skirt, and faceplants UP the stairs. It was pretty funny! Then an hour and a half later she went to get Grams, and coming up the porch she fell UP the stairs again! Poor Tori... As klutzy as her sister in law...
We had a delicious dinner of beef roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, HUGE (butt-shaped) rolls and jello! The baby ate some of all of it and ate enough for his own dinner! I didn't need to mush it all, he knows how to take little pieces and eat them himself. He also started walking his walker around the room today. So far it is the only way he walks forward without us helping him. He also konked his nogging, turning around too fast he fell over and plopped straight down onto his back and bounced his head off grams wood floor. Boy he did not like that. No worries though, floor's fine, Tiny Baby is perfectly okay. He also got his foot stuck in the couch. He's a strange little baby.
After dinner, Tori and I cleaned up the kitchen, and then Tori bathed Tiny Baby. I ran away for home soon after to put baby into bed and to be by myself... And that's pretty much it!!!
CODY!!! We miss you!

Day 32
Have you ever had a dream that didn't really make sense, but upset you nonetheless? Well that's how my day started. Tiny Baby let me sleep in late, too. He's getting so big! We got a letter from Cody, today. And Tiny Baby had a very good day today.
Tiny Baby has been growing so fast, almost too fast for his Mommy. He now pulls himself up and wanders around, holding onto things as he goes, and likes to try and get into his garbage pail while he's at it. He knocks something out of a container and picks stuff up and puts it back in. He has also started using the 'kuh' sound, and picks things up between his forefinger and thumb. Tiny Baby loves his puffs! He has now had the apple, sweet potato and banana flavors. He thought the banana was weird at first.
He's getting faster about eating, he doesn't lollygag as much anymore, he's straight to business! And he holds himself up in the tub, so we don't need the little chair thing anymore, but i let him sit in it with the rail down so he can move around a little more.
I spent most of the day writing to Cody, as I always do. His letter was short, because he got 11 letters on Monday from the mail backing up over Easter break. So it left him little time to write haha! Apparently he has been going to church every Sunday and wants to tell me all about it, but didn't have time. So he had me write him a letter full of questions for him to answer, and send back to me. So I did!
I need to start getting ready for the trip, so hopefully Cody's money comes in soon so I can get the car fixed up and ready. It has an oil leak and needs tires and windshield wipers. I'm going to get it trip inspected too. I have found that the baby requires a bigger suitcase than I do for this trip... It's kind of funny how much you need for one little baby for a week long trip.
There's a possibility we will get to spend the weekend with Cody after he reaches Fort Sill, so we will keep everyone updated about that. It'd be expensive but worth it. We are really excited, even though we still have a little over a month to go. He is writing as much as he can when he has time, and it means a lot to us. Hopefully he'll be able to get his computer and stuff for AIT.
I hope this month flies by for us...

Day 31
Day 31 was a bit stressful, but not too terribly bad. We got our foodstamps today so I was able to go get some groceries and water. Tiny Baby feels better, he's been giggly all day. I'm pretty tired now.
Grocery shopping was kind of hard, seeing as its the first time ive been to the store since Cody left, it hurt a little. But I made it through, because we needed food, water and a few things for Cody's care package. We finally got the package put together and sent it off to him. Hopefully the phone doesn't break in the box, haha. I hope he gets it soon.
Tiny Baby seems to be feeling a lot better today. He was up and playing, giggling at everything, but he was still a little clingy. He loves to stand up in his crib and scream and holler at me. It's actually cute.
I didn't get a letter from cody today, or the past few days. But he wasn't able to send anything for four days, so I am not worried. Just a little bummed is all. Hoping I'll get one tomorrow.
Cody we love you baby!
