Making changes...and I don't just mean the baby!

So, apparently in true Stolee style, when we go for change we go for some BIG changes!
(1) Due to Weston's early arrival, I have decided not to go back to work this spring.  Well, I did decide but Weston (once again) made the decision for me. :)  As the doctors recommended, it is going to be best for Weston if we keep him out of daycare for as long as possible in the first few months of life as preemies are much more susceptible to illnesses.  Weston could have gone to daycare but would have needed special shots and well, we just didn't want to risk anything putting him in danger and/or back in the hospital again.  I was a bit nervous about not going back to work because I love my job and what do I do with a baby--stare at it?  Okay, I have stared quite a bit and love my snuggle time and somehow the days truly are flying by.  The days also fly by because we pretty much do the same thing everyday: change diaper, feed Weston, pump, walk/play with KJ, REPEAT--it's amazing how quickly days will pass when the schedule is like that!  
Also, with all the visitors that are signed up to meet Weston, I didn't want to miss out on that excitement.  I am having to reapply to Clark County as a new hire once again which is fine and will be hopeful that good luck again finds me with a job next school year.
(2) Another blessing in me not going back to work (beyond extra time with Weston), is that Andrew has been given an opportunity to switch airframes.  He will be transitioning from an F-15 to an F-22:
From this:

 

To this:

 

What this means is that he needs to be trained on the F-22 and so Weston, KJ and I are going to be tagging along for the spring/summer.  Training is in Tyndall AFB in Panama City, Florida, right down the road from where Andrew and I met and married.  There truly isn't a better place for Weston, KJ and I to join Andrew for 2.5 months.  And, because it is a 2.5 month training course, that would have been a long time for Andrew to be away from us so why not join him if we can?  Andrew and I have spent two six month periods apart in our 3 years of marriage so we know that we should take advantage of the times when we can share in an experience.
Even though Andrew is switching airframes, we will still be staying in Las Vegas and that's a good thing.  It looks as though we will be here until 2015 which will be the longest assignment for Andrew in the Air Force.
On a purely selfish note, I cannot wait to spend 2.5 months in the Panhandle of Florida.  I have so many wonderful memories growing up down there and then as an adult that I feel like a kid at Christmas.  I don't know that any other place feels like home for me.  Along with my memories, Weston has so many wonderful people to meet and greet!  If you will be around, let us know because Weston and I will be spending lots of time hanging out!  :)

For now, those are the changes happening in our household--you know besides the diaper changes and trying to guess at how long Weston will sleep tonight!
