Dont get me wrong, I am overjoyed to be "grounded". No more American Airlines, no more security lines, no more hotels, no more eating out every night, no more early trips to the airport, no more searching for the car at the airport, no more communicating with Brian through 10 minute phone calls at the end of the day. Welcome back the normalcy... or however close we can get to that right before we make the leap into parenthood.

Transitions
I have spent 19 of the past 20 weeks on the road. I pack Sunday evening, go to the airport (early) Monday morning, work out of town all week, and fly home Thursday night. While I havent enjoyed this, it has become routine. Yesterday, I found out I will no longer be participating in this routine- something about having a baby... and while I am overjoyed to sleep in my own bed, cook my own meals, and live in the same state as my husband, there is a part of me that wonders how the transition will be. Does Dallas exists on a Tuesday afternoon? Can I find enough things to make for dinner 7 days a week instead of just two? What is my husband going to do when he comes home and there is more than just a cat waiting for him... these are the questions I keep asking myself, but then I am reminded that 6 months ago I lived at home all the time, I made dinner, and yes Dallas was still around on a Tuesday, but still the questions are there.

Welcome back to home life. I think you will find yourself totally in love with being home and preparing for this new little dude! Hey, at least you survived. I can honestly say if I was Brian or you I would have given up. Jared has been gone 3 weeks total and I am lost with out him! So way to go and do it so well and HAPPY!!!
Now maybe you guys can come over and hang out like friends and not Home Teachers. Brian never wants to come over without you. We'll have to plan a game night or something before the little man comes out :)
