- I am pretty sure Hannah is jealous of Meeghan. She has pulled a few stunts that lead me to think she isn't too thrilled that she has a sister.
- Meeghan will only poop during car rides. For the last week, Meeghan has taken it upon herself to crap her pants in the car. We may only be in the car for 5 minutes, and it is in those 5 minutes she chooses to poop. It was cute at first, but now it is becoming annoying.
- Hannah had her first music program at school. She loved it!
- I am ashamed to admit that I placed an ad to sell breast milk. In the future I will donate, but right now we need the money. We are still waiting on our reimbursement for our move. We are facing another move in 2 months, and I am trying to find a way to get back to KC next month for my family reunion.
- Speaking of my family reunion, my family has 4 new babies. The oldest was born in September and the youngest was born last week. I really want to make it home so Meeghan can meet her new cousins. One is only 2 weeks younger than her. The other 3 babies were all born to sisters (cousins of mine) which means my aunt and uncle gained 3 new grandbabies in a matter of 8 months plus one new great niece. I need to see all these babies!

Kids
I don't have a real post for you today. It is mostly just a collection of random thoughts about the two girls that take up most of my time these days.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
It has been a crazy few weeks around here adjusting to a newborn in the house. I am sleep deprived, but doing pretty well. Meeghan is a pretty good baby so I can't complain too much.
Now for the highlights of the past week:
The Good: We found out that another guy that was in the same situation as the husband was approved to switch pipelines. That gives us hope that he will be approved as well. He has been transferred to the Wing which is the first step to approval. We also found out that the guy was given PCS orders which is such a huge relief. We have been trying to decide what to do about the living situation. The base is less than 50 miles so we weren't sure if they would consider it a PCS move. We were trying to decide between paying out of pocket to move, using the tax refund to buy a second car so the husband can commute, or having him geo-bach. If they pay to move us, that is such a weight off our shoulders.
The Bad: It took 4 months for this guy to hear something which means we still have possibly have another 3 months of waiting around to hear the verdict. That is a long time to hang in limbo especially when you are ready to move on with training.
The Ugly: Last week Hannah developed hand, foot and mouth disease. I was so freaked out since Meeghan was only 7 days old at the time. Luckily, we were able to keep Hannah away from her so she didn't get it. Hannah is finally feeling better, but I am not sure when to allow her to play with other kids. I don't want to kids to get sick right at Christmas. However, Hannah needs to play because she is tired of being cooped up. She is definitely needing to get out and play. She woke up at midnight last night and didn't fall back asleep until 6:30. I can't wait until I can leave the house again!
Other than that, we are preparing for Christmas here in Texas. It will be my first Christmas spent away from family. Last year we made the drive, but I didn't want to do it this year. Now I wish I had agreed to it because it doesn't feel the same. At least this year we can start to make our own family traditions.
