I am a 22 year old Army Wife. My husband is currently deployed to Iraq for a 15 month tour. We're in month 9 of this deployment and we have 6 more to go. I miss him sooooo much it's unfathemable. He's the love of my life and I couldn't be more happy to have him as my husband and the father of my child. He's the best daddy and husband in the world. We welcomed our beautiful son on July 1, 2008 at 10:46pm. Daddy made it home in time for the birth which I'm soooo thankful for. Only 4 days before I gave birth he made it home. We were amazed on how great it all turned out. I had an uncanny fear that he wouldn't make it home for the birth. I had a whole plan in my head it was to have daddy home to see me pregnant and just have some last minute time together as just husband and wife, then go into labor, have the baby and spend the rest of his leave as mommy and daddy. It worked out pretty much just like that!! I'm so thankful I can't stop saying that. Jayden Bailey is the greatest joy of our lives. Daddy had to depart back to Iraq for the next 6 months, unfortunately. We miss him more than anything and I couldn't be more sad that he isn't going to be here for a good part of Jayden's growing up for the first year. Yet, that's the Army way and we love this life. It's a hard one but it's the one we chose. It's made our marriage stronger and our family so much more amazing! Well thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
