Scott was transferred out of FDC Philadelphia and sent to FCI Lewisburg on June 4th. We’re not sure if this will be his permanent spot for a while or if he will be moved to a different location closer to home. We’re not far from the Pennsylvania line, so I feel like placing him in any PA facility is pretty likely. We’ll just be grateful once visitation is approved as we haven’t seen each other since his sentencing hearing back in April.

With this move, communication has completely dried up. I haven’t heard from him in almost a week. He had been hoping that since he has been in the BOP for over a month that communication wouldn’t be greatly impacted, but of course that wouldn’t be the case. Other people have assured me that going 7-10 days without hearing from him would be pretty normal after a transfer. The fact that this is a normal occurrence is pretty sad. It’s frustrating to hear professionals talk about how important it is to maintain community ties and yet it is definitely not a priority for these facilities. The last I heard from him, his spirits were up because he was happy to finally be moving on. I hope that when I eventually get that call I will hear that same optimism from him.

I’m officially in the third trimester of my pregnancy. Prenatal appointments will start picking up now and baby showers are on the horizon. I’m still feeling pretty good, though I am starting to notice that I am not able to be quite as active. I have days where I truly question whether I will be able to handle things here without Scott. I know that I am not alone and have had many people reach out to offer support should I need it, but I’m stubborn and independent and I hate asking for help. I just wish Scott could be here to be a part of this miracle and to see our son brought into this world. It has been hard doing it all without him and the things I am able to share with him never feel like enough.

As always, prayers are welcome and if you feel the desire to write to Scott, please do. I know he appreciates every letter he receives.
