Even this post is going to be pretty short. I'm in a slump right now. Stonewall leaves for deployment in 2 weeks and he's spending these final 2 weeks in school in another state...without me. I should be used to it. Since April he's never been home for more than 2 weeks at a time before he has to leave for more schooling. Kind of a crappy way to spend the months leading up to deployment. *Sigh*
The good things are he's been able to come with me to all my doctor's appointments (except one) and he's been there for all the ultrasounds. During vacation he felt the baby kick for the first time and since then he's felt it move a bunch more times. He also read to him every night before bed. Last night when we spoke on the phone he said that even though the baby isn't even born yet he misses him and he misses reading to him. He said he told his class during intros that one of his hobbies is reading and singing to his son. Yeah, I melted :)
Stonewall will be home this weekend, but after that I'll see him on the day they leave for deployment, but that's it. So, yeah, I'm in a slump.

my goodness, what a sweetie
Hi! I am sorry. I know how you fell. Mikne deploys in Jan but I feel like he already is. He is gone all the time. Congrats on the baby!
Hope all goes well for you during deployment.
*hug*
I went through the same thing the last time Sgt. left for his deployment. Saw him for a day, and the next time I saw him after that was the day he left. It sucks. Can't imagine what it would be like being pregnant, but hang in there (what other option is there, right?)
Congrats on your baby boy!!
My hubby was at sea when our older one was gone. He would always write little messages to the baby when he had the chance to email. I loved that so much! Your hubby sounds like he's going to be a fantastic daddy.
I hate it so much when he's about to go to sea and they keep him working so much he may as well have already left. Hang in there!
Sorry about your slump, I totally understand. We're all here for you with hugs whenever you need them.
CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY BOY!
That would make me melt too!
Sorry about your slump my lovely.
HUGS to you :)
How long will the deployment be for? Gosh, that sucks :( I' glad you've been able to spend some good time together over the last few months though.
Just past by your blog via other army wife sites. Gosh I'm sorry to hear this. You are an incredibly strong woman.
When my husband comes back home from Iraq we'll probably wind up living in two different states for CCC too. No one understand that when they're "home" it's like a mini deployment in itself.
Stay strong and cherish the days together. :)
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your baby.
