My hubby just got word from his Chief that he is deploying again come August. My hubby is going to miss yet another birth. I'm in shock that once again this has happened. I'm now terrified to have 2 under 2 all by myself for a few months until he gets home. Any spare T's&P's y'all have would be greatly appreciated. This was def not the news I wanted to find out in the middle of our vacation.

I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
I'm gonna try to answer all the questions now that I have a moment to sit down.
@Beary+Ghastly unfortunately the Navy will not allow/pay for him to come home early.
@fabumama closest family is my MIL who is 8hr away, unfortunately she is very unreliable. With Jameson she was supposed to be in town a few days before he was born but she kept changing her plans and her last excuse was she didn't want to waste her time. She didn't leave her house until about an hour after she knew Jameson had arrived.
@weddinginthecove you are correct, we were able to skype last time and will hopefully be able to do it again.
@CTGirl30 it is nice to have the time to get my support system in place, it's def tougher this time though because my sister is due with her first 8 days before me.
@ChicagoChic82 I wish we could appeal it, but when he signs the contract to stay in the Navy means that the Navy is his number one priority over everything else. I knew what I was getting into when we got married but had no idea we would draw the short straw two times in a row.
@AZMagnini14 the deployment will be for a full 6 months again, so he won't be home until Feb (baby will be somewhere between 6-8 weeks old). Closest family is my unreliable MIL, then my FIL and his wife are 16 hours away and all my family is on the west coast. Hoping to get my mom out here to watch my littles while I'm in the hospital but it's upsetting my sister because she is due with her first 8 days before me, she wants my mom there for her as well. It's an ugly situation to say the least.
So sorry to hear that
