My hubby is coming home today!!!

I'm so excited because Brad is FINALLY getting home tonight after a 2 week business trip around the world - literally. I'm so excited to see him!! I didn't post about him being gone before because I'm a paranoid pregnant girl who didn't want to let people know that I was home by myself for that long since this blog can be read by anyone out there on the world wide web.

Anyway, here was his itinerary - he left on Sunday, Oct 21 to fly to Copenhagen with a connection in Zurich, and had to travel by train to Sweden to work for about a day and a half. Then he took the train back to Copenhagan and flew to Duseldorf, Germany on Wednesday morning and worked there for about another day and a half. Then he took the train to Luxembourg and spent Friday and Saturday morning with our friends Geoff and Alison who just moved there for a 2 year rotation for work. On Saturday morning, he took the train to Paris and walked around for about an hour before hopping on a plane to Tokyo. He spent about 2 1/2 days in Japan which he loved by the way, and then flew to Shanghai, China on Wed morning. He worked for a couple days there and then hopped on a plane to Chicago at 4 AM our time, 5 PM their time and will arrive in Chicago at 5 PM the same day! This happens to be Brad's birthday and it will officially be the longest one of his life - 35 hours!! It will also be long because he is spending a large portion of the day on a plane but fortunately, it is his company's policy that for overseas flights he gets to fly business or first class. He will of course fly home from Chicago tonight. Does that itinerary sound exhausting or what?!

I've missed him so much and I was sad that he missed 2 weeks of our pregnancy, but he had a great experience so that's ok. I'm sure he'll be able to see a difference in my girth when he sees me! I also finally get to show him all the great gifts and things we've received as well as our stroller and carseat that arrived the other day! I managed to keep myself pretty busy though Christmas shopping and shopping for baby of course :)!
