Missing my baby daddy

When I got pregnant and people found out that Kyle was deploying the first thing people said was "wow that's bad timing!"  I would then reply with, "actually it was planned that way on purpose."  I even had someone go so far as to say "That's the biggest mistake of your life!"  (wow it seems like all of my posts are about the ridiculous things that people have said to me...this one turns around keep reading)
Kyle and I had a plan to get pregnant before he deployed for several reasons.  One being the timing financially (deployment pay is one of the perks), the timing as far as me being off work for the summer and the biggest reason being my mom's retirement (She is our full time day care..woo hoo!!!) So while I might not have known what to expect by being pregnant with out my husband home, the plan really couldn't have worked out any better for us.
Through this pregnancy, I've come up with quite a few reasons why it is a good thing to be pregnant while your husband is deployed.  Here goes...

• I can only sleep comfortably by taking up the whole bed. If he were home, we would be sleeping in separate rooms by now.
• I typically get hungry for dinner about 4pm.  KP wouldn't even be home from work for another 3-4 hours.  There would be a constant struggle over dinner times.
• I like to eat strange things for dinner while pregnant.  Kyle likes a main dish and coordinating side dishes.  I haven't made a meal like that since the day I got pregnant.
• I have been able to decorate and organize the entire nursery with very little approval needed from the hubby AND he has still loved everything I have done so far. 
• No one questions the number of times I've been to Target to "stock up on diapers"  (Come on people, we all know no one goes to Target JUST for diapers!)
• Kyle hates blood and guts but my mom is oddly really excited about watching my C-Section.  Win for Kyle!  (Don't even try to tell me "Oh, it's different when it's your own kid.  You don't care about the blood and guts."  Trust me... he would still care.  He can't watch Grey's anatomy with out wanting to puke)
• When you are forced to communicate through a daily email or gchat conversation, there really isn't room for the surge of emotions and mood swings that come with pregnancy.  I firmly believe that this type of communication keeps those mood swings at bay.  If there's no one here to be moody for, being moody is pointless!  For the most part, I've been a happy camper :)

So, while there are a million reasons that I would be happy to have Kyle here while being pregnant, there's also a lengthy list of reasons that this is NOT the biggest mistake of my life.  As a matter of fact, Clayton and Kyle both are the best things to happen to my life.  We just can't wait to have our family all together! Until then, power of positive thinking :)
