DH has been in VA training since the beginning of the month and won't return for a couple of weeks and I MISS MY HUSBAND! DS has been such a good baby but it is still so overwhelming being by myself and trying to get myself ready for work in the am and he wants to eat and he needs to get ready for the day as well.. I want my husband back! Anyone else's DH away and your home taking care of baby or your prego?

Re: DH away for training
My DH is away for the same time frame. I'm at 34 weeks and just spent a couple days in the hospital trying to stop pre-term labor. I really wished he was there just to tell me it was okay.
I have two older children and thank God my mother has basically moved in to help since I'm on bedrest. But it does break my heart when my two year old son walks around asking, "where's da-da?" and he's too young to grasp the concept.
My daughter perhaps gets it too well and has been a bit mopey but a great big sister throughout all this.
When my son was young, my DH had 6wk MOS training and it was terrible to get through the morning and try to get everyone fed and dressed. It really helped to lay everything out the night before like label bottles for caregiver, set out clothes for both of you, etc. I would try and shower the night before but at that point after delivery it was hard b/c I was doing that whole homronal breastfeeding night sweat thing but once that stopped it was one less thing to do in the morning.
We're getting ready to have a deployment later this year and my daughter will be a few months old and I am dreading that stage.
Congrats on #3!!
I have great in-laws and they are always just around the corner but they also drive me crazy at the same time...haha..but thankful to have them! I try to get everything set out the night before for his sitter and for his 1 feeding during the night. I set my alarm earlier than I should just so I can hop in the shower while he's still sleeping but majority of the time he wakes up at the same time, I swear he knows when I'm trying to do something
DH gets deployed in the fall for a year and I'm like if I can't handle a few weeks how the heck am I going to handle a year?? It breaks my heart to know that DH will miss most of DS "first" walk/birthday stuff like that and I guess that also contributes to the whole how can I handle you gone a year..
