So, Adam was scheduled to leave on Friday night-I was prepared. Well, as much as I 
could be, but still I was ready I had taken off work so we could spend the day together just relaxing until he had to be up at the field at 9pm. WRONG. The military had a different agenda for him seeing as how he didnt even come home until right at 5pm!!! Luckily, they also delayed their flight and their leave time to 3pm on Saturday-so we got a few more hours to spend with each other which was good. They better be glad they did that. He was really glad too, because he still had to do quite a bit of packing. It worked out for the best, eventhough all that anxiety built up Thursday night into Friday all day and then whoa-staying until Saturday. whatever.

Friday afternoon the battalion had this "Go to Battle Ceremony" or something like that at the field and I took a few pictures of the ceremony-that Adam wasn't even AT-because he was hard at work and they "excused" him from coming-again. whatever. I am really glad that I was made aware of this BEFORE I got to the field.
After I attended this "ceremony" I got back to my house and waited, and waited, and waited some more! Oh my gosh-talk about horrible day-boredom, anxious, jittery, nervo
us ALL emotions into one-It sucked. We ate Friday night at home and then woke up early Saturday morning to start getting things together, finish packing up his stuff and just hang out with each other. He had to make a quick stop by his office to pick up a few last minute things and to get some more rank insignia. I got a picture of him in front of his truck, in his office (keep in mind is VERY empty and VERY dirty-the building is being taken over by other people so he had to clear out all his stuff). The full length picture of him is his "daddy doll" picture :) I can't wait until it comes it for little Baby A to have.
The experience of dropping him off was awful, hard and I hope I don't have to go through it again. It was scary, and weird and totally surreal. It wasn't anything like I expected. I am usually pretty emotionally stable, but I felt so bad the whole time. I cried-and I did NOT think I would do it-but I did. I think it may be because of the pregnancy-Iam not sure, but I know one thing-I am ready for October! :) Hopefully October 16 (my birthday will be the BIG day) how awesome would that be?! I am counting down the days from October 31 though. I hope he makes it back for Baby A's first Halloween-that will be fun to experience together! :)
I have a good deal of Baby Shopping to do and other things to keep my mind occupied so I am hoping this time goes by fairly quickly. I need to start planning trips and different things to make it go by quick. I plan on coming to Texas in April-I am EXCITED about that! :)

Oh sweetie I am so sorry. I wish you would never have had to experience that but that's military life eh? Don't let ANYone tell you to suck it up or say you shouldn't miss him because it's only ___ and my husband was gone for ___ - who cares! If they're gone for 1 night we miss them. God is watching Adam and you and Avery every minute of every day. If you ever need someone to cry to that you know has been through it call me- any time. That first night I called my nana at midnight and cried on the phone with her until 2am+ lol It's HARD! Like you said- it's a feeling that's even harder to explain.
On the OTHER side- what's this Daddy Doll you're having made?? Sounds cute and I must know about it in case Matt has to leave Baby Roman!
I'm very happy you're going to TX! Are you staying there until he comes home?
Thanks girl! It has been better-I got to see him last night-we were able to video chat so that definitely gives me something to look forward to during the days. The daddy dolls are soo stinking cute...www.daddydolls.com is the website and you upload the picture you want to use and choose something to go on the back of the doll and they send it to you! It's like $30 for the large and $25 for the small or something-I think they are a great idea! :)
I will probably only stay in Texas for about 2 weeks because I will need to get back to work! What about you will you be coming back after you have Roman any?
