So Adam got home, homecoming was emotional of course, but the best thing ever. It's taking Lili a while to get used to Adam, but she's finally starting to warm up to him more. It's mostly when I leave her alone with him now, but I keep telling him that's the only way for her to learn.
Lili is getting soooooooooooooooo big, it's insane. She'll be 11 months in 3 days. ALREADY! Where has the time gone?? I've already set her birthday party date for the day after her birthday. Since her birthday is on a Thursday. Sadly, she doesn't have any kiddo friends to come play with her. I really hate that. I want her to experience other babies and kids, but without her being in daycare right now, it's almost impossible since we are the only ones out of our friends while a child. We found out daycare on post is much cheaper than we thought so once I get a job, we might put her there if we can afford it.
I started my CNA classes. It's so different but yet almost the exact same as my MA classes I took before. The MA stuff is more hands on, which is what I like, but I'm taking phlebotomy next term so I'll be good to go then. I go to clinicals sometime this month and should be ready to go to boards in November/December to be certified and ready to work. I had to get a few shots today for that. Since I don't have my shot record and I highly doubt my parents know where it is between all the different physicians and moving throughout my childhood. So I just said, titer what I should be vaccinated against (titers are blood tests to see if you are immune to something...I got titered for Verecella[chickenpox] and MMR[measles, mumps and rubella]) yesterday. Then because the STUPID army hospital immunization clinic don't give out shots on Thursdays, I had to go back today. I got my TB test in my left forearm, my Flu and Hep B shot in my left shoulder and then my Tetnus in my right shoulder. Yea it's not fun. Especially that Tetnus, I wasn't feeling it earlier, but let me tell you, I feel it now.
Adam is still on his 30 days of leave. We went to VA for a week to see his family. Not so much fun. Especially driving to Currie, NC to see his grandpa. Currie is one of those hillbilly towns where your entire street is made up of your family and you marry your cousin. Thank God it was only for a night. Lilian did very well on the planes. She was up the whole time on the way there and just sort of played in our seats. Then I decided that I was going to keep her awake all day when we left so she'd sleep on the flights. Yea, didn't work out as well as planned. She was so tired by that time she was too fussy to sleep. It took us a while, and many trips walking up and down the aisles to get her to sleep but we did it. She woke up on our layover and then crashed as soon as we sat in our next seat. The flights were miserable as it was. We flew home during that BIG storm over Texas. And where was our layover?? Houston. First our plane was late leaving Houston because of it....and then the crew thought that it had been struck by lightning so we couldn't get on when it got there, we had to wait for maintenance (which is based in Richmond, two hours away from Norfolk where we were) to get there. They had called them during the flight so we didn't need to wait two hours after it landed but it still took them a while to get there. Then they had to check it out. It would have been so much easier and reassuring to us passengers to get a new plane. But whatever. It was good to go and we started boarding 1 1/2 h ours AFTER we were supposed to take off. We got to Houston with 10 minutes to get to our next gate. Thankfully, they called the gate and told them to wait. But I was so worried that our luggage wasn't going to make it on that plane. I had a 10 minute layover once before and my luggage didn't make it with me to my destination, but like 6 hours later. And we had checked Lili's carseat with our suitcases so I was on the verge of a freak out because we had no way to get her home without it. But, the night ended well with our luggage being there when we landed. :)
So yea, I think that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Oh yea, we got a new puppy. He's a Shiba Inu born on July 25th (way too tired to do the math lol). His name is Apollo. He's freaking adorable. :D
