Not the news I wanted
riansmommie

Last night my hubby came home from work with news I was not prepared for. He originally was suppossed to be deployed shortly after our son was born and now he will be leaving within the next month. He will miss the birth and I have no one else here. I of course am staying as positive as I can be but its tough. I know military wives do it all the time but I feel so sad that he will miss the birth of our child, his first. Im putting on my game face for him because its something thats out of our control but in all honestly I wanna curl up in a corner and cry for days right now. Blah, blah, blah.

IT'S A BOY
I'm sorry. I am sure that despite being prepared for this as a military wife, you can never really be ready. Maybe he's deployment will get changed again.
Cry as much as you want!

Perfect baby boy born 7/8/13
BFP 8/20/14 EDD 4/27/15 It's a GIRL!!
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

I cannot imagine how difficult this will be for you!! hugs and thank you to you and all military families that sacrifice so much just so we can enjoy our freedom. It is appreciated.
I understand completely. My husband just left for his deployment and will miss the birth also. Cry if you need to. Sometimes letting it out will help. Big hugs from me!
Sucktastic! Is he going somewhere that Skype may be an option? Also, check with your FRG(or Obudsman, Navy right?) because they often have plans in place for moms who deliver while their H is away. Oh and check with the CDC on post, you can usually use drop in service or a few random days of daycare to get some time to yourself while he's gone.
ETA - Also, have him talk to his command would the ability to take emergency leave or paternity leave. It isn't always possible and most times it isn't until after LO is here but it can be better than nothing. Get the contact info for your local red cross so you can call as soon as you go into labor and they can start the message process.

Aw, so sorry. I can't imagine how hard that would be, I imagine your husband is trying to put on a game face too. Hopefully you can find someone to take plenty of pictures that you can share with your husband ASAP!
Vent all you want.
Oh man, that really sucks. I can't imagine how you're feeling, but I am very appreciative to families like yours that make such huge sacrifices for the greater good. Thank you!
