Daddy's Home!!

Well its settled, Andrew is home to stay.
We have been waiting to hear from Alcan all week but when we found ourselves waiting by the phone on Sunday we knew that the day had come. Andrew would have to go back to Grande Prairie. As he started packing for the trip I broke down and burst into tears, I couldnt let him go! The fear of him driving such a long distance by himself and knowing that he was going away for 2 weeks and that we are due in 2 weeks scared me. This is his first little baby and I wouldnt want him to miss the birth for anything, it wouldnt be fair.
We had plans for dinner that night and I really didnt want to go because I couldnt stop crying but on the other hand it would have been fair to Andrew. He deserves a home cooked meal with friends and family before he leaves. As I wiped away my tears for the night and tried to join in conversations a dear friend of the family offered Andrew a job. It doesnt pay much (less then half of what he was getting payed) so we will have to cut back expenses big time as it will be really tight but the main thing is that he is home.
He's home safe and sound and will get to experience the birth of his first born child!
