Update

I just thought that I would give a general update for everybody on what's going on up here in New York with us.

First of all, as you've probably guessed, I'm still pregnant....39 weeks today. She has stayed in as long as we needed her to, and then a little bit, to ensure that Tyrone doesn't have to deploy right now. I appreciate everybody's prayers as far as that is concerned. I did have an appt. last Thurs., and we are making progress towards the baby getting here, I won't be pregnant forever. It does feel that way, though, and I'm sure that anybody who has ever been pregnant can sympathize with that feeling. IF she's not here by Wed., I have another appt. then, so we'll see where we stand!

On a more serious note, although Tyrone is not deploying right now, his platoon leaves along with the rest of the main body sometime in the next 48 hours. 1st Brigade is composed of 3,500 soldiers, and they all need our prayers. It is hard to watch what the families are going through, you can literally tell, just by people's demeanors, who has a loved one leaving this week. And, of course, the inescapable fact that runs through my head is that soon, it will be us. Just please keep us, and all of the soldiers in your prayers. We need all we can get.

I keep hoping that every post I put up will be my last before announcing the birth of our little girl, and, just maybe, this time it will be true (but I'm not holding my breath!)
