February 2008

Chris headed back to Iraq. It was the worst trip yet. I was feeling much better and loving pregnancy, but conditions in Baghdad were worsening. Ironically, he was almost in more danger in the protected Green Zone, than he was when he was making runs into the Red Zone. There was an increase in rocket attacks within the Green Zone, and a few Americans, who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, were getting killed. In the shower, while they slept. It was the worst two months of our lives.
