Hafa Adai everybody! Sorry I have been a slacker in the posting department, but a lot has been going on these past few weeks. Brian's ship ended up going to Hong Kong for 3 weeks, so Brayden and I have been hanging out, going to the beach and the pool. Brayden also started preschool! He is having fun there, he only goes 3 hours a day (we will see if he starts to go longer once baby brother gets here), just trying to get used to all the RULES. Brian got home on Saturday, so things are getting back to normal. I met my doctor (finally) and everything is looking pretty good. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes but apparently it will go away after Oliver gets here, and it is not a severe case, so that's good. Oliver's head is down, he is ready to go! The doc estimates that his weight is about 6 pounds, so I guess I am on track to have another big boy! Sigh. As you can see, Brayden is starting to adjust to life on Guam, he loves the frogs.....me, not so much. He is getting excited to see his Nana in a month or so, and Brian's parents visiting this "winter". It is going to be extremely weird celebrating Christmas at the beach. Everyone is doing well, I suppose, I am the most tan, which is nice!! Both Brayden and I have been making friends, always a relief......I don't know what I would have done without my new friend Marie these past couple of weeks, I have had numerous doctors appointments and nowhere for Brayden to go, and she graciously offered. So nice! Brayden also met a little girl at the beach today, he said he is going to marry her. I don't think I am ready for him to be thinking about girls yet!! I hope you are all doing great, don't be afraid to call you can just call our old Oak Harbor number, and it will ring here and just charge you for the call to Oak Harbor. Anyway, we love and miss you all......keep your fingers crossed for a easy labor......I am going to have to change the name of this blog to hicksbrothers.com or something!! Love ya!

Today we went to the War in the Pacific memorial, which is right up the street from our house. It is to remember the 16,142 Chamarro and American casualties on Guam during WWII and the Japanese occupation of Guam from 1941-1944. It is on top of Nimitz Hill, which is also where we live. It is a beautiful place, except for the fact that people keep stealing bronze plates from the memorial to sell for scrap. Very sad.....put the parks service is working on replacing the missing plates.
