Still here, still full of baby.

I had another appointment last night and this doctor was much calmer. She thinks my body is not reacting like a first-time mom because I have had to be induced three times already to have my miscarriages.  So taking that into consideration, she thinks I can easily make it until my husband gets home.  Thus I'm just going to keep taking it easy and hopefully can hang on to baby for one more week.

And then my husband will be home...

I have given almost no thought to the fact that the deployment is almost over. I have been so preoccupied with the baby that I haven't let myself get too excited over my husband's return. But he should be here in about a week or so.

I can't wait to lie on the bed with him and let him feel the baby kick. I want him to walk in the door and never take his hands off my tummy. I am so excited to finally experience that together.

3 I'm glad she thinks you can make it. I really, really hope he gets at least a few hours to experience baby-on-the-inside, and that you can see her face for the first time together. I'm glad he's so close to coming home.

4 We are in the middle of this awful blizzard area and our internet has been down for the past 3 days.  My work was backing up, I was out of touch with the world, had no idea what was going on (satellite didn't work for tv either) and all I could think of was "Did Sarah have her baby???"
Glad to be back online (whew) and see that you are ok. He will be home before you know it. And then a whole new wonderful chapter will begin..........

I wish I could send my luck quotient for the next couple of months to you.  I don't usually seem to get a lot, but I'd send it in a heartbeat so it all falls into place.

I'll have to settle for crossed fingers or something.

6 This will be super exciting!!!    Yea!  Nothing like experiencing all this in the same zip code.

I can so relate to what you're saying about the counting down.  I have some preoccupations here myself and I lose sight of the fact that he will be home and THEN we take the big trip.  Of course, if I wait until he's home to prep for the big trip, we're in trouble!

Can't wait 'til he's home for you and the baby!!

7 Almost there! On all accounts! I hope he gets to experience the pregnancy for a good moment or two before you both get to hold your new bundle in your arms I'm so very happy for you!

YAY!

I am so glad to hear that the doctor has backed off a little on the fear factor.  Even more glad that your husband will be home in DAYS!!!
