And so it begins...

So here I am again, on a journey of some sorts.  The last time I was on blogger, I was on my way to becoming a mommy of four.  Unfortunately that was cut short because I miscarried, four years later and after many doctors saying I could no longer have any more children, I got pregnant.  I decided not to make public my journey with my last pregnancy, which was probably a good idea since  it was filled with complications and stories that you'd probably think I made up.  In the end, I have a beautiful healthy boy who is now six and a half months old.  

A little bit about me.  I am have been happily married for eleven years to my Navy guy.  He's been in for just as long.  It hasn't always been easy, hell far from it, but in the end, the Navy takes good care of us and our semi-large family.  I have four wonderful kids, my son is ten, my daughter is seven, my other daughter is five and my little guy is six and a half months.  When I find time, I need to finish up the last few units to have my degree post.  I have put that on the back burner so that I can get healthy and raise my kids.  Eventually I will have enough time to do things for me...but for now, this works.  Oh and I was a Navy brat turn Navy wife, how's that for some irony!

I do have to end with this, whatever people may complain about with the military healthcare system, they really are top notch.  I saw several civilian providers during my pregnancy and not one of them was able to diagnose my condition, chalking it up to depression and a figment of my imagination, it took a military hospital to diagnose and treat me.  So say what you want, Navy medicine is still quality medicine.
