I've been so focused on Margot being born soon, that I've lost a bit of the other enormous thing happening at that time: Bob deploying. Not that it's not important, but I think I'm such a linear thinker that I've sort of pushed it to the back burner. You know: I'll deal with first things first.
But the reality is this: Bob's guys are leaving very soon. I can't divulge dates, but suffice it to say there is very little time left for these guys with their families. I'm oh so thankful Bob gets to stay a little bit longer, and that he will get to be here to see and help little Margot be born.
I am more thankful for Bob than I am for any other thing in my life... and there are more good things in my life than I can begin to count or name. And it does hurt to think of him deploying again and leaving our little family. -Oof, I'm sure it will be harder than ever to leave a sweet little baby and a crying mommy! But we will be strong, as we always are.
Those of you Army wives out there, you know this to be true: this lifestyle is not for everyone, and those of us who make it work prove our mettle daily. So here's to Bob's guys' wives who are facing their first or second or third... deployments in the coming days and weeks. May you know peace and strength.
We're in it together.

I am literally about to cry just thinking about you guys. Sorry birdie! I love you so much! I am here if you need me. I will be posting pictures of the loft very soon.
You have proven yourself "Army Strong" - stay focused on the birth and deal with the deployment when you must!!! God's blessing on the troops and their families...
I know the feeling. You will be just fine. If I can do it so can you. The hardest part is knowing all that Bob will miss and you will get to enjoy with little Margot. Plus you will miss the chance to sleep in. I can't wait to sleep past 6am.
