Good morning, everyone. I've been up for about 40 minutes with actual real contractions. I am not in a hurry to leave for the hospital because they're still bearable and only last for about 30 seconds. I just thought I would let everyone know. Hopefully we'll be seeing a baby today! :D Vita just got back yesterday so great timing, eh? I still haven't called anyone. I think we've got a couple hours at the very least before I need to have babysitters reporting in ;) I am going to pack and clean or something... maybe eat. I'll let everyone know when I leave for the hospital. Think good thoughts for me! I don't want the contractions to stop or slow down... I guess it's a good sign they started while I was asleep. OK I'm off to pack.
I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...
