But a quick rundown of events since September.
Antjuan returned home to Amaya and I. We were so glad to have him back with us, and Amaya didn't take long to warm up to him. I guess seeing him through Skype helped a lot.
Antjuan was at home for his two weeks of R&R, went back to work for one shift, then I went into labor with our son. I was having contractions starting Oct. 9, and went into the hospital Oct. 10 around 10 a.m. Deshawn Quincy Hill was born at 7:20 p.m. Oct. 10, 2010. That's right, his birthday is 10-10-10...awesome right!?!
After 8 weeks of maternity leave, I returned back to work and have been going full force ever since. I even started my own at-home business. I am now a Thirty-One consultant. If you are wondering exactly what Thirty-One is visit www.mythirtyone.com/daniraye84 and you can see all of our products.
My parents, sister and brother-in-law came down to our house for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to have my entire family together. Although the week went by extremely fast, it was nice seeing them all.
Amaya is growing up way too fast. We are still working on potty training, and she is doing very well. She has moved up to the Preschool class at daycare, and can even say her ABCs. She is so smart and does something new to amaze me each day.
Deshawn is 3.5 months old now. It is so bittersweet for me since he is my last baby. It seems like he is doing everything very fast. He is sitting up already, and started rolling over at like 1 month. Although I know I cannot stop time, I wish it would slow down so I can enjoy the moments that I cannot get back.
It is fun watching them both grow together though. Amaya adores "Bubba." And he just stares and smiles at her. He loves watching everything she does. I know they are going to be best friends.
So, there is my update. Our family of 4 is doing great and loving every minute of being together again. Although life in the military can be stressful, and down right miserable sometimes, it makes the times when we are all together and happy all that more special.
