It's Ok, I Would Have Given Up On Me Too

It's been far too long, and far too busy. I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, but sometimes it feels like it.

First announcement: DH and I have decided to settle here in Fayetteville instead of moving back to Georgia! In the short run, this means I get to keep my OB and give birth with the facilities and staff I know, instead of "Podunk General" in the mountains. I'm very happy about that. On the down side, we won't be living with my parents, so instant baby help will not be available. On that note, I should be able to continue to take advantage of at least some of the free or reduced rate programs on post, even though DH's ETS date is in November--he joined the Reserves for the family health care. He's now on terminal leave from active Army.
I feel much better, much more stable and supported, finally knowing what's going to happen in the next few months, rather than the flipping back and forth between moving and staying. That indecision was killing me. I think I'll be more willing to post more often now that I know somewhat where my life is going.

Ooh, did I reveal that it's a BOY?!??! Healthy and normal, as far as the ultrasounds can tell. We've decided to name him after DH's father and my maternal grandfather. MAN did we fight about the name. I'm not thrilled about his choice and he's not thrilled about mine, but at least we're on the same page (heh).

What else of interest? Ummm... well, at least you know I'm not dead. I'll get my thoughts in order later.
