3rd Trimester

I miss my husband!

My husband is across the country this week for a polymer class, he left very early saturday, and won't be back till later in the evening the saturday, because he is 3 hours ahead it makes talking at night a little rough. At night is the worst for me, because we have not been apart more than a couple days in our entire relationship. Our little dog is a total daddy's girl and gets so sad, so I had thought to steal one of his gardening shirts and rub his deodorant over it so it would smell like him. Our doggy and I have been sleeping with it, but she gets up and steals the shirt. We're going to pick him up at the airport saturday, and I am going to give our little furbaby a bath and I bought her a cute little dress to wear to pick up her daddy in. 

I have been trying to keep myself busy, but it really starts to hit me how much I miss him toward the end of the day, when he is supposed to be coming home. like about now. I just start to get all weepy.

I have a whole new respect for the women whose husbands travel a lot for work, or are army or navy and air force!

  • The nights are always the hardest but I promise you'll get through it! Plus, it always teaches you to appreciate the time and moments you do have together. Reunions are always my favorite times. GL and I'm sorry he had to go.

  • Don't forget the Air Force Wink  I know how you feel, my DH is deployed at the moment and I find the evenings to be the hardest too.  We have 2 dogs, and the bigger of the two, a girl, is a real daddy's girl to the point its sickening, so shes having a hard time adjusting.  Although now she's just ultra-clingy to me.  All will be well, your DH will be home soon. GL!
  • My DH used to travel a lot for work.  And when we lived in India there were 2x where I had to come back to the US for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.  The nights are the hardest.  But hopefully it'll go by fast.  And the reunions are great! :-)  Those times apart made us appreciate each other even more.
  • Thanks! nights are hard. I had to figure out a way of sleeping comfortably, because I sleep with my leg over him to alleviate my hip and lower back pain. The first night was the worst! I just laid in our bed and cried, everything I did reminded me of the things we normally do together. Being hormonal and missing him is hard. We talk for like 15-30 minutes at a time during his lunch and dinner breaks and text during his 5-10 minute coffee breaks. I'm going out with one of our couple friends tonight, she's pregnant too so it will be fun to chat with her. 

    I just get so sad with him being apart, and I have all these irrational fears of something bad happening to the baby, since I've been having mild contractions and slight cramps these last couple weeks. I keep thinking, this is NOT the week to go into pre-term labor! both our families are far away, but we have lots of friends that could help me if I needed it. 

  • That's really sweet!  I hope he appreciates how much you (and dog) miss him. :)  Just stay busy and it will help the time fly.

  • My DH had a job come up unexpectedly out of town.  He's been gone since Thursday and won't be back until this coming Thursday at the earliest.  I do fine during the day and at night, but my worst time is in the afternoon from about 5-7, about the time when he would be coming home.  I get so lonely in that time because I just feel so lost and hate having to think about eating dinner by myself, not having anyone to talk to, etc.  After 7ish, I can get a shower, do a few things around the house, and go to bed early, so it's not too bad.  Our DH's will be home soon!
