So Justin is gone now. :-(
The day we thought would never catch up with us did, like always.
We all went to the airport together even though his flight was around midnight that night so he could hold Harper as long as possible. I am so thankful that he wasn't fussy at all. He was happy and smiling and cooing at his Daddy rather than crying. A good last few moments for them.
I, however, cried enough for all three of us. It's hard enough taking care of the baby, the housework, college classes and the dog when he is here. Not to mention working full time and dealing with all the crap that can come with being in the military. I'm a little overwhelmed and our routine has suffered a little bit, but not too much.
I've actually been making it to work on time, which is good. I definitely thought my whole world would fall apart and I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything, but I am!
I have two tests to take tomorrow and LOTS of housework but I'm trying not to stress and just tell myself I'll get to it eventually.
Justin has been able to call about twice a day since he left which is AMAZING. Unfortunately, it won't be like that for the entire deployment so it's nice to talk as much as we can while we can.
Harper is doing wonderfully! He holds his head up for very long periods of time and is still smiling and cooing constantly. He even 'talks' in his sleep. It's so adorable.
I still have those moments sometimes when I'm looking at him that I become so overwhelmed with love I cry. Happy tears.
I have a doctor's appointment next week that is geared towards helping me shed these last few pounds and get back in shape. The working out is about to start as well. That should help raise my mood and lower my stress level as well!
I hope to do a mini photo shoot with Harp this weekend and maybe we'll go to the Zoo! Pictures to come.
Danna you are stronger than I could even think of being! I am so proud of you (and Justin of course) and pray these next few months go by very quickly so Justin is home safely soon!
