"D" Day

Went a little easier then I thought. Yesterday morning was a bit rushed so it went by fast. I thought I was going to be in hysterics watching the ship actually leave port but I wasn't. I cried on the phone with him one last time before they pulled off. I cut the conversation short because the tears were running down my face and I didn't want the last conversation he had with me for a while was be bawling my eyes out. I wanted it to be happy, and filled with things we are going to do when he gets back.

So almost 10 minutes after I got off the phone, the tug boats came, and pushed the ship off. The ship went sideways a bit then pulled forward. As soon as the tug boats let go that ship took off and booked it out of there as soon as it could. It was a lot faster then last time. It surprised me a bit. But made me feel better that they were getting to where they were going as soon as they could and so they can get back into the groove of things and get this deployment over with.

Angie and I went to three different places to take some pictures as it was leaving. It was cold because of the biting wind. So I got out of the vehicle once to take two pics and a video of them moving, and got back inside the warmth of the car as soon as I could. That is all we need. Me the preggo to get sick as soon as he leaves.

Here is my favorite picture I took of the ship. I hate that ship yes, but I love seeing that floating piece of metal home and hooked to the pier. It was really saddening to see it leave with my sailor, my husband on that ship. It was like seeing my life just float away even though I know I have my own life here and a lot to look forward to. Like this little one in my tummy. 


She has been kicking me all last night, and so far this morning. And she even woke me up early this morning because she was on my bladder or something. First time this pregnancy that I had to get up out of bed because I had to pee lol. Proof that she is growing and getting big despite everything going on, on the outside. I am officially 17 weeks today, just three more weeks and I will be halfway done with this pregnancy and that kind of scared me a little. So I have decided that this week is going to be full of cleaning, doctor's appointments, planning, and doing random things to pass the time. Like this blog :] This has so far been helping me out a lot with organizing my thoughts. So I will keep this up :]
