Bear has been in Fort Benning, GA since 06 Oct to get ready for his deployment. After misreading his orders, the infamous "they" have finally got things straightened out as to where he will be going, and they even managed to get him on the right plane! He left somewhere around 1900 (7 PM for you civilian types, he he) on a 9 hour flight to somewhere in Germany. He didn't know where in Germany, but hey, he didn't need to know that much, right? Hopefully he won't get stuck at the airfield to fix the plane every time they land like he did on his first deployment. After Germany, he has a 5 hour flight to Kuwait, and one last flight into Djibouti, Africa (I'm guessing it will be maybe a 2-3 hour flight). Djibouti is where he will spend his deployment of "120 days or until relief arrives". We're praying for the 120 days, or less!!! His orders said that he should be leaving on his birthday, 15 Feb. What better present could you ask for than to be coming home?!?! Please keep him in your prayers as he goes through this journey, whatever it may be. We need him to come home safely!!!
As far as the pregnancy goes...I will be 9 weeks tomorrow! Our little munchkin is about an inch long from the top of it's head to it's butt (about the size of a green olive) and is now able to start moving around! I have been feeling very nauseated for a few weeks now, but as usual, I avoid puking at all costs! I'm just afraid that if I start, a habit will be formed! I am still favoring salty foods, which is odd for me being pregnant...I have always gone for the sweet stuff with the past 2! Bear says he's convinced it will be a boy, but we'll have to wait til it's born to find out. I guess I'm just too old-fashioned to find out early with ultrasounds. Whatever it is will be perfect! We're just praying for a healthy little munchkin, and a later delivery! I tend to deliver earlier each time. Allison was considered a premie because I was barely 36 weeks along when she graced us with her presence. This one is due 18 May 08, but I pray that we can at least make it to May!!!

Bear is still in out thoughts and prayers here. I know how you feel about delivering early, Caleb was 38 weeks and Patrick was 34 weeks and I was induced with both. I am hoping to keep this one in longer too. Good luck with the morning sickness, at 21 weeks mine still comes and goes. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you guys for the holidays.
