I want to start talking about what's going on in this country first. Since my last post we have lost, I believe more than 10 officers in the country due to people shooting them! Are you kidding me?!?! For the most part I don't worry about my husband. This is the life he wanted. He is very good at it and has always had pretty good interactions with people. Plus he is a strong man of God so I know his protection is all over him and when it is his time there is nothing I can do about it anyway. But I am not going to lie, the morning of the Dallas PD shooting, I was crying pretty good. My DH had just been back on the road for about 2 shifts since he was okayed by the doctors after his motorcycle accident. But as I cried, I prayed and just asked God to cover him like he always does and to bring him home to us ever shift bc he needs to meet his little boy soon. And it was pretty amazing to have people check in on me. I got calls and text to make sure I was okay and to pray over my DH. The funny thing is, at least I thought so, with all of this being a "race thing" everyone who checked on me was black. It just goes to show you that this really isn't a race thing. It's a media thing, it's an education thing, it's a culture thing. I really want people to think about this. How many of you know someone who was shot by a police officer? Now how many of you know someone who was shot by another person? Better yet, how many of you know someone who got in a fight us in another weapon or just their hands? If people actually asked themselves these questions, we would see we don't have a police brutality problem, we do not have a gun problem, we do not have a race vs race problem... We have a media problem making it look this way, we have a culture problem that this younger generation doesn't fee they need to work to get what they want just take it, we have a culture problem where it's okay to "spread your legs" and when a child comes from it not take responsibility in raising them!
Okay I think my rant is over, now for the fun stuff! ONLY 2 MORE WEEKS TILL MY DUE DATE!!! I just can't wait to meet our little boy. It's crazy how he can already have so much personality in th womb. I don't think he is going to be a baby to be swaddled bc he is already trying to stretch out all the time! And how he knows our voices! My DH sings on the church praise team when he gets Sunday's off and last week he had a beautiful solo. Right away when he started singing, our little guy started moving all around. It was such an exciting thing to see/feel. We did decided on doing a "Chp-ish" theme for his nursery, focusing more on the blue and gold colors. Then my mother in law found a CHP designed fabric and now he actually has a pillow and quilt with it on it! We recently realized that his due date is the CHP anniversary so it really fits perfectly. Poor kid is going to be born to be a Chippy. But we are proud to be a part of this CHP family and even more so the whole Blue Line family too!
