wow 3 weeks already

I cannot believe my due date was only 2 days ago and lil' man is 3 weeks 1 day already. He really is a good baby last night was rough but those days are to be expected. Chubs is improving but still picks him up any chance she gets and climbs the changing table any time we change his diaper. She really does love him though. It is bitter sweet since Flyboy is missing this. He is really hating this deployment. I am annoyed only on my rough days and he complains about maid service and eating out 3 times a day.
Last week Kathy was here and I lived that up and enjoyed having someone here who was willing to do everything for me! I love my friends. Poor Chubs had strep throat and was a pain so I felt bad but it was nice having Kathy to take care of lil' man so I could cuddle with my sicko.
This week the girls and I were gone everyday. We went to the park, the zoo, Supermoms and shopping it was nice but man I am so tired. Next week will be snail pace since it is our last week home before school goes back. I even found a school for Chubs so she will be going 1 day a week. I start school the end of next month. I could be done as early as a year from Dec that is pretty scary since I could start working that early too. I am ready to work part time hopefully I can find something we will see, just hard to think about that when I have a newborn but he will be 18 months and driving me crazy so I will be ready!
Well that is all that is new in our llittle world.. hope everyone else is enjoying their summer.

Update...

Mainly for Lesley! I am doing great. Lil' man is awesome he is getting more alert everyday and that just makes everyday a little more fun. It has been wonderful not going to the doctors everyday like last week. I am so happy all the blood tests were normal and the jaundice is all gone.
Chubs is running a fever but is fine otherwise so I am not sure what that is about. Yesterday she had me start the day at 4:30am, ick. So I spent the day laying on the couch and letting Kathy cater to all of our needs and then Bro K bought Sonic home for dinner. Today we all slept so we are actually going to head out and catch a free movie and then possibly go to the beach, more for Kathy's sake want her to see something while she is here. I will be sad when she goes back to Cali for a few reasons I do miss it more than I want to admit most days and I really enjoy hanging out with her.
Monkey and AJ are doing great with their new brother and all the other changes. They are both stepping up and being more helpful. They are just fighting with each other more, oh well no such thing as a perfect world.
Flyboy is so bored and I am so over it. I am getting sick of hearing him complain about having to sit around in a hotel room with nothing to do everyday. It just annoys me that the Navy somehow thinks him being down there is more important than just doing the same job from here. Honestly this deployment only needs to be 2 months or so I can't believe I have 4.5 months still left it seems like he has been gone forever already, which is mainly because he and I talk just about everyday. At least with his new laptop he has internet so we can telaconference. Chubs thinks it is hilarious to see him on the 'puter and keeps saying Daddy...byebye? At least he gets to see lil' man just about everyday.
Well that is about it, next week I will do all the back to school shopping. I am so sad about AJ starting Kindergarden this year. I wasn't as sad with Monkey I am really scared I am going to cry with AJ! I know Chubs is going to die without her sisters she has loved having everyone home all summer. I am going to have to do a lot of playdates or Chubs is going to drive me bonkers.
Alright better get ready to go since no one is dressed and we need to leave in like 20 min!
