You'll be fine! my dh is currently deployed and between taking care of LO, our dog and the house my days go by quick! We do playdates once a week too maybe that's an option for you if you SAH. It's nice to have some adult time when it's just me and LO!
Enjoy some alone time with LO. Try to do one special thing each day.
My DH travels for work. Typically leaves on Monday and comes home Thurs evening. It's a long week for me...and yes, lonely, but I try to enjoy the alone time.
I always hate the idea of my husband being gone but then when he actually is I realize I don't mind it all that much. Yes, it's a ton harder to do everything for the four kids all by myself but in the end, I come out feeling like a much more comp
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
It's hard but you'll do great ... Enjoy the time! If it helps I do it Monday-Friday every week with a 4 month old, 18 month old, a full time job, and no family within 14 hours. I'm still alive, lol.
im in the same boat! my husband leaves tonight for 10 days and its my first time home with the baby more then one night alone. i volunteered my friends to come keep me company every other night and also to take a long shower while they are
