The news has been out for a while now. 15 month deployments, so in other words, February. David will not be able to live with his son until February. He will miss Jacob's first birthday on top of all the other first holidays he has and will miss this year.
On to some better news... Jacob now weighs 14.85 pounds, is 25 inches long, and has a head circumference of 17 inches. He is 4 months going on 2 years. He has an attitude like his father. He is determined, lovable, and full of giggles. He loves blankies, toys that make music, and sweet potatoes.
David will be home in about 6 weeks for his mid tour leave. I have so much I want to get done before he gets here, I need to get my butt in gear and get working on it.
Spring is finally here. It's getting warm out. Jacob and I have gone for a few walks. He just loves to be outside. I guess that means I will be spending a lot of time outside this summer.
I really need to get a job. I don't know if I mentioned before that I got one but David didn't like how daycare was going to cost a lot and a stranger would be taking care of Jacob. Well, I need to get out of this house and make some of my own money.
David's deployment is going pretty well. A couple close calls but that's to be expected. I just miss him terribly. Deployment is very hard on a marriage. We seem to either be madly in love or we are screaming at each other over the phone. Lately it's been more screaming and yelling than the loving part. I am hoping it all gets better as soon as we can be back together. Maybe a little marriage counseling to smooth things over.
Life hands you poopy diapers but it also hands you the sweet sound of a first giggle...
