For those of you that don't know, tomorrow I leave to go back to the states. I know everyone is saying isn't that a good thing? I get to go back to civilization, see my family and friends, plus I am going back to have our second little girl. Well yes those are all good things but I'm having to face the hardest thing ever in my life.Cliff and I have been married for 6 years. The longest we have ever been away from each other is 9 days and that was torcher!!! When I leave tomorrow, I won't get to see Cliff again until the 15th of December. That's right, 5 days short of being 2 MONTHS. He won't be able to be there when I have the baby, for Thanksgiving, or for Nyah's birthday and I seriously don't know what I'm going to do everyday without my best friend. We do everything together all of the time and I know I'm going to be lost. You might ask why I don't just stay on the island and have the baby? Well, we figured that since they are a little behind the times with technology and everything here that we would rather be safe and make sure that nothing goes wrong to endanger the babies life or mine. I am already 35 weeks pregnant so I'm sure I'm pushing it staying this long but I just couldn't bring myself to leave any earlier. I am so sad to leave him !! Any words of wisdom or encouragement, I will gladly take right now.

Good luck with that! That will suck--but if it makes you feel any better, I think it'll be harder for him because you'll have family you'll be staying with and visiting and he'll have...school. Then he'll sit at home and miss you.
Call me every day and we can cry together! I know it won't be easy, but remember with sacrifice brings blessings. You know I've been in your shoes -minus the having a baby thing alone many times. We can do it, we are women, mothers and wives! I'm there for you, don't forget that!
it will be a hard few months.... but another experience that will probably pass faster than you realize and then you'll just have another memory and story of your lives. and of course you need to go back to the states to have the baby. we would probably tie you up and force you on a plane if you tried to do any different. Good luck and take care of yourself and new baby..... and we'll look forward to seeing pics of the newest addition on the blog..... Allred's
good luck with all that, I hope all goes well, and believe me it never gets easier to be away from the one you love. I can't wait to see posts on the new baby and how you did it. Best wishes, hope all goes great. Good luck cliff,
When Ryan and I were only married 9 months, we were apart for pretty much that long. AND, I was 3 months prego. So, call me and we can empathize with each other! good luck with everything!
Hey, be of good cheer! I know that right now it seems like an eternity before you'll be together again, but I always (and am encouraging you to)look for the blessings bestowed by the hands of the Lord in all things! With every day you spend apart, you are one day closer to being together again! You will be blessed for this sacrifice!
way to tell me you had a blog, lame-o! :) Come play with Lily and me!
Suck it up for crying out loud!!! And when the baby starts to come at thanksgiving, just hold your knees together...A real Wyoming woman would do that for her husband, and not complain about it!!!, of course if you could do that, you wouldnt be in the perdicament your in right now!!! Keep smiling and I will keep an eye on him down here.
Your other heart throb!!!
