He got to AT on the 10th. I had to drive down to his unit in Saluda to give him some documentation and let me just tell you, Grayson was SO good on the trip there and back!
Well, that Saturday (the 11th), TC found his profile in his stuff and had to turn it in. His profile pretty much says he can't do anything because of his knee. He can't carry a weapon, he can't walk a certain amount of yards with equipment, and he can't run or swim or any of that jazz....because of his knee. Bunch of BS if you ask me when he hurt his knee during Basic Training almost 4 years ago! And they're just NOW doing something about it. He was transferred back to his other unit and kicked off of the deployment. He's been pretty bummed about it because we had already discussed and accepted the fact that he was going. That, and we really needed that money so we can build a house of our own. TC's doing better about it though.
I, on the other hand, am stoked! TC will be here for Grayson's first year and won't miss a thing. That's been the hardest thing to deal with through this whole thing. TC's been real down but I told him that he's the lucky one. He'll be able to be there for Grayson's first time going to the fair in October. He'll be there for Grayson's first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Birthday. He'll be here to see Grayson's first steps, first words, first haircut, and the first time he cuts a tooth. He'll be here for our anniversary and so much more! Not a lot of guys in the military who get deployed get to witness those times without a video camera or Skype. He'll be here and I'm more than thankful for that.
Things can change at any minute and that's what's in the back of my mind. Everything happens for a reason. This will be the 2nd deployment that has gotten snatched away from TC but I told him that everything happens for a reason. Because what if he did get to go on that first deployment. What if something happened to him then? I would have never known him. I would have never found my best friend and the man who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with....and we wouldn't have this beautiful baby boy in our lives or watch him grow up. Everything happens for a reason. I believe that with my whole heart.
As of right now, Grayson will be a month old on Thursday! Where has the time gone? We have watched him grow into a handsome little baby the past month. We have lost sleep, lost touch to the outside world, and we've lost our minds lol but we haven't lost time and I'm thankful for that.
Grayson weighs 8 pounds and 13 ounces as of this past Friday! He's a little chunk munk! I'm so blessed that he's healthy and that TC and I are healthy. I've come a long way since giving birth to Grayson and I thank God for getting me better. Grayson is such a good baby and such a blessing to mine and TC's lives. He's definitely a momma's boy though! He can't stand when I step out of the room or when I'm only 5 feet away from him. TC will be holding him in the recliner and I'll literally be 2 feet away on the couch and Grayson just stares at me the whole time waiting for me to get him lol but he loves his Daddy too! He likes to sucker punch Daddy in the face! haha! They're so cute together and the way TC looks at him is unbelievable! He loves his son so much!
Raising a baby is hard work especially when you're breastfeeding. It's frustrating some times because all you want to do is sleep without having to wake up every 2 hours. But I wouldn't trade it for the world because I'm going to miss these days as crazy as that sounds. Grayson won't be small forever and before we know it, he'll be all grown up...and I'm going to cry like a baby! Lol! This month has flown by and I hate it some times because it feels like time is slipping away. It's going by so fast and I can't believe it. Grayson and TC, I love yall more than anything in this world! To the moon and back <3
