My Baby

Well, my hubby is currently in Iraq. He is an MP and we have been together going on 5 years. So we went through his basic training together and now are almost at the end of our 1st deployment. He should be home sometime late Feb. We have 5 kids together. Four boys and one little girl. Between him being at basic and being deployed..he missed both of our youngest births. And was only home 7 monthes between basic and deploying. So he really doesn't know his youngest son and has not meant his daughter as of yet. Though this time apart has been hard it has also brought us very close to each other.It has made our love for eath other strong and the little things that we didn't much pay attention to now mean the most to us. We can not wait for him to be home.

    Going through the pregnancy was really tough! I always went to the doctors alone and the ultrasounds were really tough. With my youngest son he had stopped moving many times twards the end and since that wasn't normal, it was scary...and I had to be scared on my own. I had my mom there but it wasn't the same. And it is hard on him because with our youngest son he was only in his life for 7 months and then deployed so he really doesn't know him. And he has not meant his daughter yet so that is a whole diffrent story. The good thing is that they are still little and will not remember daddy not being there. But it was hard for him to bond with his son while he was home. If I had my choice to have waited this his basic training was over and then waited till his deployment was over I would have waited.'I love that man with all my heart, can't imagine life without him there beside me. I am so excited I can't stand it....already got a new hair do and a new outfit and everything!
