On Tuesday JB deployed for two months. He’s scheduled to return about six weeks before my due date. I don’t know if I was extra emotional because of all these crazy pregnancy hormones, but I spent the majority of the week in tears. This is not our first time apart, but I imagine it will be the hardest. Thankfully my mom was able to fly in before he left so that I’d have company for a couple of days.
Hopefully all of the tasks on my never-ending To Do list will keep me busy for the next 8 or so weeks. I have to make final decision on paint colors and furniture for the baby’s room, and I’ve been encouraged to create a registry.
One of my immediate goals is to learn how to crochet because there is a blanket I’d like to make for the our little guy. I’m sure he’ll be gifted plenty of knitted goodies, but I think it would be special if he had something handmade by me.
