Well, Brian left this morning to go back to Iraq. It was a very sad and emotional morning! I still can't quite believe that he is gone. The adjustment for us has already begun. Nate and I are getting used to our new role for the next month as mommy and Nate time. Reality has already set in for mom! I no longer have Brian here to carry in the carseat. (I realized today just how heavy that thing is with a baby in it. I should have some pretty buff muscles by the time Brian gets back.) Brian's not here to take care of Dolce and Luigi either. Having a baby is one thing but having a baby and two little dogs is a whole different game. I had a decision to make today when I had a crying baby and two dogs that desperately needed to go out. But we worked it out and life is good. Dolce and Luigi, I believe, have already resorted to their old ways. They were completely different dogs while Brian was home. I am just amazed by them. They both do well with Nate but Dolce is back to guarding his food and Luigi...well, he's just crazy Luigi attacking Dolce. (That I don't think will ever change.) As I type this Brian is sitting in Atlanta waiting for his next flight. He has a 7 or 8 hour layover...something crazy like that. He called a little while ago and we got to talk for a little bit. He misses Nate and we miss him!! They both had the hiccups at the same time. It was kind of funny. Nate definitely gets the hiccups a lot. Brian should be back in Iraq in a few days and then we will be back to our normal routine of talking on Skype and the phone. I am so glad that we don't have much longer until he is home. I can handle a month on my own and I'm glad Brian won't be missing much of Nate's life! Well, Nate is calling...I will hopefully be able to blog again later. :)
