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!
Re: I miss my husband!
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.
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!
