Anyone have a hubs deployed right now?
Hey all I am new to this site and my hubs and I are expecting our 2nd child. We just got prego during his R&R from his deployment. So its kinda a new thing for me to be prego and have him gone. Anyone out there experiencing the same thing as me....thanks

Re: Anyone have a hubs deployed right now?
Yes he is currently deployed.
He was only here for the 1st and Last month of my pregnancy with DS
and he left when I was 14 weeks pregnant this time and will be on R&R when our DD comes
This is our first deployment and our first baby. He left when I was about 5weeks. Hopefully he will be back when I am 34 weeks.
Mine left a little over a month ago. Fun stuff

I think everyone posting in this thread deserves one of these

I think it is normal to be a little more "needy" when you are pregnant. I am a very very independent woman, but when I am pregnant I can tell that I am a bit more clingy. I try to make sure I don't let myself get ridiculous, but I can understand why you would be more concerned and want to hear from him. Hang in there!

No more TTC for us. We are done, and at peace, as a family of 4.

Anyone else have a hubby who has no idea how busy you are while he's gone?
My husband was in courses and training, away from me, for the first half of my pregnancy, then deployed when I was six months along. He was able to come home for the birth, but won't be home until DS is 8 months old. The hard part is I have a very Type-A hubby who has never been around babies, and expects me to get a lot done, even though I am alone with the baby. I have no family around, so I rely on a babysitter. I have a part-time job, and horses on top of that. Hubby also wanted me to get our master bath renovated while he is gone.

My DH left for training when I was starting my 2nd trimester and left for Afghanistan a month before DD was born. He just left on Sunday after being home for R&R and meeting his daughter. He'll return a couple months before her 1st bday.
It's hard missing out on normal things like silly faces and help with bedtime and bathtime but she makes his time away go so quickly. I hope that we have better communication once he's settled back over there than we did before his R&R because that was what was making it the hardest. But if you can skype and get phone calls and emails then it really shouldn't be that hard at all. Well, if you have someone close by that you can call if you really need to get a break for a little bit. I hope you have support nearby, but if you don't, there's always us to vent to!
