I'm usually pretty romantic, but now we have a 10 month old son... I wanted something sweet for the three of us to do together for the day he gets home from war.

I would make no other plans than to spend time alone with just the three of you. No phone calls, no tv, no nothing. Have food at the house already cooked, some fruit, finger foods ect. If I just got back from Iraq I'd want to simply hold my baby and my wife and make time go away for awhile. If he wants to talk, just catch him up on family stuff, if he doesn't want to talk, offer a shoulder and neck massage. Just keep everything simple.

First off, don't make big plans for the actual day he returns. With the military, things change constantly! My husband was supposed to return at 1pm, but didn't actually land till 8:45pm! So just take it easy that day, let your husband relax. Have your 10 month old with you when he arrives, but then, if you can, maybe get a babysitter so that the 2 of you can have a romantic night alone. Then the next day, plan something nice for all 3 of you like a day at beach (depending on where you are, we were in San Diego) and then let your husband pick where you eat. He hasn't had a great selection of food for a few months, so he may be craving something special! Good luck and God Bless America!

First of all, I would wrap my arms around his neck kiss him and squeeze him. Then Thank God he isone of the many to return home. I am an ex-military wife, even though my husband wasnt able to go, due to medical reasons..then a medical disharge. I had many friends whose husband were sent. Depending on his location he may have seen more then others have seen. I would kinda play it by ear. I am not saying it will happen to your husband, I have seen some who have come back and needed time to re-adjust. If everything seems to be o.k. I would do the dinner and and hopefully get to the fun stuff. keep in mind he has been on a long flight back. God BLess, good luck and thank your husband from a stranger who truly appreciate what he was doing over there.

Dear, you could sit there and stare at a wall in the same room as him and he'd probably be happy. My bf was pretty happy to do just about anything when he got home from Iraq. Just remember, he's been in a crazy, horrible place for awhile. Anything would probably be awesome for him. Sitting around watching tv, eating dinner, taking a nap, taking a shower, playing a game, driving anywhere, anything! Just be there for him. And you'd better believe he's going to want to get a little lovin' from you. So get the baby to bed early.

I think just spending the day together doing what you love to do is a great way to send him off. He will have a good memory to take with him. I would take a pic of you and your baby and without him knowing put it somewhere where he will find it later. You could also leave a note with it that said something special.

Let all your firends and family that the three of you would like some alone time and you would appreciate if the they would contact him his second day back. For his first day back, turn off the phone and spend alone time with him and your son. Don't plan anything, just take each moment as it comes and enjoy each moment.

1) Do a family thing the day he gets back
2) Have mom and dad hang out at the house after your son falls asleep.
3) Take him out to a late dinner and some other stuff. Wear sexy lingerie and be real sexy.
4) have breakfast ready when he gets up.

How about just a quiet night, just the two of you. Don't overplan anything just in case he isn't up for anything and then he feels obligated to do it.
Find someone to look after your son and just have a nice dinner where you can talk and if things progress from there, good. If not, well there is another day.

Just be there for him as a family! He won't want to go out because he been away for a while! So just cook him a home cooked meal and catch up with what ever you can! Just relax and be you for he will love you for that !
Congrats on the homecoming!
