we can do this

 
I can’t believe it… this TDY is almost over! 20 days of this insanity and now we are 6 days away from the end… he will be home on Monday… less then a week! I’m so excited to see him!

We talked about everything that was going on. He has been really busy with meetings and getting situated and he promised that he would talk to me more. He has text me "good morning sweets" every morning since we talked. We are back to our old selves again and I think Nicholai is picking up on it too because he is back to his normal schedule, still not sleeping all the way through the night but the other night he was in bed by 11 and I didn’t have to get him til 6am and last night he was in bed by 10:30 and didn’t wake up til 4am but he was having a rough night last night. He was coughing for a good 45min. My poor little sweetie boy. I hate hearing him cough, they are so tiny and pathetic.

I have to call the ped and ask about them… if there is anything that I can give him.

Chris said he can’t wait to see us!!! He said he isn’t sure if he will even be able to sleep his last night lol. I can’t believe how excited I am to see him and its only been 20 days… I can’t even imagine how excited I will be when he is coming home from deployment!

It was rough in the beginning but we made it through. I think this has really opened our eyes to what deployment will be like. I’m hoping that the beginning of deployment isn’t as rough as the beginning of the TDY but I think we have a really good perspective on this now after going through this.

I have things planned for every day thats left of this TDY and leaving the weekend clear to clean the whole place. I deep cleaned the kitchen yesterday but I still have about 6 other rooms and I think, to keep myself from going insane, that I’m going to leave all the cleaning for the weekend so that way I will practically have to rush to get it all done. That will keep me from going insane with excitement lol.

We can totally get through this TDY and I know we will get through deployment too!

Oh yeah… Nicholai is 9 months old today! 9 months… wow!

… don’t be afraid, sometimes they come true! … music is my life
