We survived Typhoon Muifa!
Can you say longest tyhpoon EVER!!! Well it all started on Wednesday...we went all the way into TCCOR-1 by Thursday morning. Matt didn't have to go to work so I went and did my 3 hour glucose test (praying to the good Lord TCCOR-1C was not declared while I was sitting there) and about an hour after I got home is when the fun began...we went to 1C at around 12:30-12:45 pm and then at 8:50 we went into 1E meaning we were on lockdown or locked in our house until storm watch/all clear was declared! So from Thursday at 8:50 pm until today Saturday at around 5 pm or so we were finally allowed to leave...Muifa had left after 41 inches of rain that fell in a 24 hour period...lot's of flooding on Kadena, lot's of houses leaking, people without power both on and off base...that silly typhoon didn't want to leave I tell ya! But it was our 3rd one we made it through since getting here in 2007. The video posted is from the front of our house when the really bad winds finally reached us. Maddison did great sleeping through the loud wind and rain, I actually think all three of us got some of the best sleep we have had in awhile. We didn't loose power this time however we had some water leak in, in our living room. Wasn't the first time so we are taking care of that! We went out for dinner tonight and did some walking around! It was nice to get out stretch our legs!!! The pressure from the storm made baby girl go crazy, she moved a lot more than normal. It's like they know...I believe 7 or 8 babies were born during this typhoon...glad I wasn't 37 weeks at this point! Let's see what tomorrow holds for us!
