Deployments and pregnancy hormones dont mix. :(

DuckLover · April 2010

Hubby deployed to Afghan early yesterday morning. I never ever want to start a deployment out 9 month pregnant EVER again. The goodbye was horrible. We both were emotional as could be and usually hes the strong one who helps me keep it together. Not yesterday. I feel SO bad for him. He shed a few tears and he NEVER cries.

I'm so sorry sweetie. That must have been really hard! ::Big Hugs::

I'm so sorry - I can't imagine how hard that was for both of you.

I'm so sorry sweetie. Sometimes being a military wife isn't all it's cracked up to be...

Aw. I am so sorry! That has to be tough. I give so much credit not only to military personnel and what they do but to their significant others who "soldier" on when they are gone. You can look forward to a special and happy reunion as a new family in the future!!!

I'm so sorry - that must have been impossibly hard!

We are all so greatful for the sacrifice that your hubby (and you/LO!) are making for our great country.

(((HUGS)))

Aww, hang in there!! Thank you to your hubby for his service, and to you for your sacrifice.

Your reunion is going to be awesome!

lildevil968 · April 2010

Oh hun Iam really sorry. I do understand what you are going through as DH and I are both prior military, and have been through multiple deployments. They never get any easier, you just get used to them.

smssy2005 · April 2010

I'm so sorry. I feel sad for you. That would be so hard. We're here for you! Hang in there and stay strong.

P.S. Love your baby's name. My neice is named Kaiden. ;-)

Big hugs from one military wife to another.

missyjg · April 2010

I am so sorry he won't be there for the birth. That really sucks! DH was deployed for my entire pregnancy but was lucky enough to have him come home (wasn't sure that was going to happen). He's being redeployed a few days after delivery, which I don't want to think about. I hope that you have a supportive family/friends and lean on them. God bless you and your husband. May he stay safe.

Oh b/c I'm an optimist: At least this deployment might go really fast b/c you'll be so busy with your new LO!

Aww! I could cry for you...I can't imagine, but I am grateful to you and your husband for the sacrifices you both make for our country. Your little one has 2 true heros for parents

I just said a prayer for your family and your family during the tough time of seperation! I hope the reunion is soon and I know that it will be incredible!!

Sept1799 · April 2010

I am so sorry that he was deployed! How long is he gone for?

trueblue85 · April 2010

Aw, I really feel for you. My DH is in the National Guard, and it was hard as it was when he was away six months for training. You're expecting your baby very soon now, and I'm sorry for this hardship you and your DH! Sad

However, it will be all right in the long run. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

laurieb602 · April 2010

I would also like to say thank you to both you and your husband...thank you doesn't seem like nearly enough though. I'm very sorry he will miss such a profound occassion, good luck to you and LO and I hope your reunion is speedy!

Rachelilly23 · April 2010

I'm so sorry he is deploying this close to your due date. I thought it was difficult being alone this entire pregnancy since my DH deployed 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. I'm lucky to have him home soon. I can't imagine the pain you are going through right now and just wanted to let you know we are here for you. Stay strong!

About2bGold · April 2010

OMG! I couldn't even imagine what it must have been and is like~! I give you so so much credit! That proves what kind of super woman you are! And your husband!... to have to walk away at this time! I thank him for being so brave and for making the sacrafice he (and you) has made! There really are amazing people in this world!

I know there is nothing like being there at the birth of your child, but perhaps you could speak to your Dr./Hospital to see if they could set up a way perhaps with a webcam/skype or something so he doesn't have to miss that special moment. My Dr. did that for one of her patients. THey have a picture of the drs holding the baby next to the screen as if the baby was taking a picture with his daddy! I smile everytime i see it!

I'm curious - what's it cracked up to be?

OP, I'm incredibly sorry that he's gone. ((HUGS)) I wish I had more uplifting words, but my heart hurts for you.

My husband has been deployed for most of my pregnancy. I know how rough that has been, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I were looking at the majority of our baby's first year without him. I don't know much about the conditions where your husband is going, but my husband and I have been lucky in the fact that he has regular internet access and we have been able to video chat via skype on a very regular basis. We also have Blackberrys and for an extra $60 a month (for him to have the global plan) we can text message each other through Blackberry messenger. I hope that you will be able to work something out like this for communicating with your husband. Good luck to you, and I am here if you if you need to talk.
