Déjà vu

This is Cooper in February of 2008, wearing a onesie I bought him. It's a little difficult to read, but it says, "My uncle loves me enough to defend my whole country."

Two years ago (pretty much to the day) I was hugely pregnant (even though I wasn't due 'til late October), my sister-in-law Dayna was on the verge of giving birth, and we got news that my brother would be deployed to a war zone for almost a year.

Fast forward to today: hugely pregnant - check, sister-in-law ready to pop - check, brother going to war zone - check. Except this time it's Adam going instead of Justin.

That onesie is the hand-me-down I didn't want this next baby to have.

wow, sar i dont know if its the hormones or what, but just reading that put me in tears. i didnt realize all the similiarities in the two....crazy. i dont blame you for not wanting to hand down that onesie but think of how proud ur sons will be to one day say that about both of their uncles. i know thats the only thing that keeps me sane thru brads multiple deployments. hang in there, we will all get thru this together!

Oh, Sarah. When is Adam scheduled to leave? I will be thinking of you all and praying for your brother. You should be so proud of your brothers - what heroes!
