that Matt will be able to come home for nearly a full month for his mid-tour! The Air Force lets its members take up to 10 days of paternity leave. Of course thats up to the supervisor, if he thinks that his group can handle being a member short and the other needs of the base etc. But these 10 days of leave are not taken against the airman's bank of leave days. They are extra. Wahoo!
So when we found this out we were wondering if there was any way that Matt could take his 10 days paternity leave in connection with his 14 days of mid-tour leave...and rumor is that its possible!
We have yet to actually set dates but Matt's mentioned that he wants to come home a week before my duedate and stay for a total of 28 days. I'm not sure if that was to include travel but I'll assume so. Either way, he'll be home for nearly a month!
We are in the process of discussing specific dates and then Matt will have to talk to his supervisor. So we'll actually know soon! I get all jittery and excited to think of seeing him again! It will have been a full 4 months of not seeing eachother...the longest stretch yet. But then we have 8 months after that...but we won't think about that, will we?

Wahoo! That's awesome!!
I hope this will work out for you guys. It would be a shame for Matt to miss the birth of his new daughter. It sucks that he has had to miss so much of the pregancy. Send good thoughts and prayers your way.
