Our first US Doctor's Appointment!

Thanks to jet lag I have been waking up at 7:00 a.m. (or earlier!) every.single.day that we've been home... irregardless of bedtime. Unfortunately I stayed up a bit too late last night and will probably pay for it today. But, I woke up hungry and excited as we have our first doctor's appointment in just four hours. :)

Now I need to work on translating all the medical records I have from Germany. I'm not sure they will even do the office here any good, since they are two completely different systems. I figure I should at least try though, just in case.

There is also something in the works for John in regards to an upcoming short-term contract. So, we are trying to prepare as if he could leave any day now. I will spill the beans when (and IF) he signs the official paperwork!

Did I mention it feels so great to be home? Oh how I love waking up in our big, comfy bed!

Back in the USA!

We made it!!! After a long day of traveling, complete with a delay to our final destination... the Turek family is back at home safe and sound!

Jet lag is only intensified thanks to the pregnancy. I was up at 4:30 this morning sorting through mail. We haven't really had a chance to do all the "musts" when we arrive back to the States, but that will come. Picking up the baby's crib and mattress today was exciting enough!

At the moment, chinese food days sound pretty good. Crab rangoon just may be on the menu for dinner. ;)

Heading Home!

I am currently on the phone with our insurance company adding liability to our car at home... finishing up the last few things on our to do list before we head out tomorrow!

Please pray for us... that our flights go smoothly and that Baby Turek doesn't decide to come early. ;) 

Packing, going through everything, and cleaning is one of my least favorite parts about this lifestyle. I'm exhausted and ready to get a good night's sleep before our LONG flight tomorrow. I'll be sure to get in touch as soon as we settle in!
