Requisition For a Son

It was long about this time that we found out that we were going to be blessed with our first baby. We were very happy about this. I had been wanting to get pregnant. Dave right away put in his request for a son. He really wanted a son for this first child and then I was to have a girl if there was a second baby. He of course knew it didn't work that way, but would not admit that whether it is a boy or girl was up to the male partner. He would have loved a little girl baby just as much, he just had to "blow his horn". lol

Shortly thereafter, we found out that we had to move into quarters (military housing) because they had so many available. If we chose to stay in our apartment again we would lose our housing allowance, money paid to us to cover our rent. We couldn't afford that so we moved in the spring. The quarters were so nice, but then I knew they would be. I did miss living in my little town though. I walked down to it every now and then, but it just wasn't the same. Most of my friends had moved in to quarters also, so they were close by.
