I Hope He is Ready Soon

Tonight we attended the breastfeeding class. One of the better classes we have been to. A lot of information, even though it was 2 hours long we were glad we went. At the 1 hour mark the speaker sent us out for a 15 min break, we were shocked it was going to be such a long class. By the time it was over we were starved since the class started at 5. We had to stop at Ruby Tuesdays on way home instead of go home and cook.

This class was the last thing we for sure wanted to do before baby arrived. Now that it is over we are ready for baby to come! Very excited! We visited a couple who is friends of ours tonight and they had their baby girl on Friday, she is adorable!

So Max and I have been having talks lately. They are sort of 1 sided conversations, but I know he can hear me. I let him know that after this class he is more than welcome to come out and join us! I also explained how he can figure out when a day has passed...I said so right now you live in this round pool, and all day long the pool is moving about as his mommy moves about and then at night when the day is over his little pool will become calm for long periods. Then when the pools stirs a lot, it is a new day! I like to think he is listening and happy to hear my voice. I can feel him move about when I talk to him and touch her belly. When I rub the belly he jumps about. And I love feeling him move after meals, because he has what I call "partys". After meals I am always asking is he having his party yet?

We are so excited for Max to join us. We are both so happy to have this blessing in our lives and I am especially happy to be home to witness and enjoy his birth, and to help and support Alexandra through it all. This is a very exciting time and we know he will come when he is ready. Hopefully he is ready soon.

When the day does come, there will be text/phone call updates and facebook updates pretty quickly. But the blog will be updated within a few days after the birth.

God Bless

Easter Sunday 2011

Our Easter Sunday started with Hot Cross buns in bed, I had never had one before, I enjoyed it. Then we went to church at Pearl Harbor Memorial Chapel. After Church we actually went to the outlets to pick up some new running shoes (needed them for Tuesday, and Monday night we had a virtual baby shower planned) Then we headed home to fire up the grill, I grilled pork chops with a Caribbean jerk marinade. Then we went over to a friends house for an Easter Egg hunt and socializing. Unfortunatley it was mostly sailor wives since all the husbands are at sea. I'm in port along with 2 guys that are on their way out of the Navy and another one transferring to shore duty. To finish our wonderful first Easter together we went to the neighbors to play some Yahtzee!!!!

What we have been up to...

So Alexandra is finishing up her semester. She was observed teaching and did an excellent job. She got stuck with teaching a longer than usual class period and still did a wonderful job.

I finished up Opearational Water Chemistry Class last week. It is basically advanced Reactor Plant Chemistry, and Radiological controls. On Monday I started Machine Tool Operator class. This one is 3 weeks long. I am learning how to use a machine lathe to machine parts. It is weird being in a class that's information isn't classified and I can bring my books home, and use my phone in and around the classroom.

Last weekend we dyed eggs. Pictures below:

Matthew is Home

So on Monday morning the boat got underway and left Matthew behind. Looks like he will be home for Max's birth. Right now he is going to school to study up on more nuclear chemistry stuff for his job. We are so excited to have all this time together and be home for the birth.

And being home and not working all the time I am able to enjoy breakfast on the Lanai!

Beach Today

Today we went to Waikiki
to walk around the art fest and go for a swim.
This was Max's first swim (kinda)
Can't wait to take him for real.

Enjoy the pics.
