On Sunday March 05,2005 I was packing my hospital bag, as Mike was packing his sea bag getting for a sea trail. This is how our life would be for the next year and half. Mike was getting ready for a 6 month deployment. He would miss the birth of our first born and most of the first year of his life. I was being induced that Monday March 06,2005. My mom flew out from Washington State, Mike's mom, dad and grandfather drove down from Pennsylvania to join in the "coming out" party. It was a hard and long labor and delivery. After having our son, the hospital put a American Red Cross message out to the ship, letting Mike know that I had the baby, and he would be able call. Our phone conversation was very short. He asked how every thing went, told me he loved and missed me. You could tell he was excited but yet very sad. I could never imagine the emotions he was feeling. I told him that mommy and baby were fine and we couldn't wait for daddy to come home and meet our little man. I had Mikes picture by my side the whole time, as if he was there with us.
