Winter Storms

After a week of freezing temps, we got more snow again last week.  My car was frozen shut a couple weeks ago & then this past week my car got stuck in the parking lot several times, one time leading to a minor pregnancy meltdownOn top of all the ice that has stuck around, it has been a pain to deal with.  Gunner absolutely LOVES playing in the snow.  We took a video of him playing & you can see it if you click on the link below.  Last night we had a high wind alert with wind gusts up to 70mph.  It took down a few trees & pushed our boat, which is currently parked in front of the house, out into the middle of the road.  Kolt hasn't been able to get the boat into the boat lot with all the snow & ice.  I am now 15 weeks pregnant, feeling good & have more energy, but still not showing much.  We ordered the baby's furniture & it should be delivered next week so I have been trying to rearrange the guest room/office which will become the baby's room.  I will be coming home to visit in 2 weeks & in 3 weeks Kolt will be going to Mississippi for a week long school.  After we both return to Sitka, we will have our 20 week ultrasound & will hopefully be able to find out the sex of the baby.  Kolt will be doing survival training next week which consists of him & a group of other guys being flown to a location & left for 2 days & 3 nights.  They are only allowed to bring with them whatever they are wearing & a small ziplock back of "essentials".  Kolt is VERY excited about this.  We will keep everyone posted on how that goes.
