2009 doesn't feel like one year to me.

My husband returned home from Iraq at the end of 2008, a couple days before Christmas. We began 2009 with his trip to SERE school. And getting pregnant for a third time. And losing that baby too. Then finding out about the translocation.

It was a sucky first six months.

But then we took a great vacation to Vegas. And I got pregnant again. And the John Elway Baby worked out. My husband is deployed, but he's there with a great team and they've done some good work that apparently everyone else wants to steal credit for. I'm proud of him. I wish he were here to share in the joys of pregnancy, but in the long run, the second half of 2009 has been pretty good. He's impressing all the right people, and I have a three pound person bouncing on my bladder.

And 2010 should be great: my husband and my baby arriving at the same time! We'll be a family. I can't wait.

1 Ooh!!!  Can I take it that your husband and baby "arriving at the same time" means he *will* be able to come home???   *happy hopes!!!*

2 Ah, Krista, I suppose I ought to say that one of them will be arriving first, but we don't yet know which one!

3 Should be a fantastic year for you! Next year's NYE post will be so much different I'm sure
