Frustrated about Thursday...

in 2nd Trimester
On Thursday my hubby leaves for California for 6 weeks of training for his upcoming deployment. He's been packing and getting his gear ready this afternoon and I'm a mess! I'm doing my best to get it together because we have 2 little boys and I don't want them to be more upset than they already are but, these damn hormones are getting the best of me! This just makes this deployment even more real that he won't be here when out DD is born. This sucks!

    I feel ya. MH left for 8 wks, and I won't know if he'll be at the birth till it happens. Hang in there, but make sure to take time to let it all out. Take a bath, not too warm, and cry all your tears into the water.

    Good Luck!

    I'll be in the same situation soon. DH is going on course for 4 months, after March break. He's supposed to come back the 23rd of July, and I'm due on the 2nd. That's cutting it a little close... We'll see how it all works out. Hopefully I don't go into labour really early.

    I know how you feel! My husband does frequent (yet fairly short, less than 6 months) deployments and this current one is making me a wreck! I usually just power through but this time I've been crying 10x more than usual. Hang tight, be strong and take deep breaths. Keep busy with your boys and I'm sure time will fly by!

    I don't have any experience with this, but I just wanted to say how much we appreciate people like you, the PPs, and your hubbies.  They do such an amazing thing- leaving their families to help our country... Thank you. Best of luck to you and your family. 

     

    Ditto this. :) I know it doesn't make it any easier, but just know that the sacrifices you, your kids, and your DH make ARE noticed and ARE appreciated.

    Ditto this. I'm so sorry your DH will not be there for the birth of your child. I will be praying/thinking of him and you in anticipation of his safe return. Giant hugs. I can't even fathom how much it sucks and what you're going through.
