In my introduction, I mentioned that when I was 3 months pregnant my husband got orders to Korea. My husband and I moved here to Fort Bragg, NC in January 2010, where he was stationed with the 44th Medical Brigade.
We were here for a little over 2 years when one day my husband logged into his AKO to check his requisition. It said that he was on orders. My heart sank, I just knew it was Korea. The previous months before my husband and I had often talked about volunteering to take a different base to get us out for Fort Bragg. We waited a little while and then we finally received word that in fact, he was to report to Korea in April 2012. Another hard blow, my due date was May 19, 2012. What in the heck was I going to do!?!??! I couldn't even imagine having this baby by myself!
