Well we finally got the word today from the Navy. My hubby will not be allowed to be come home to be here for the birth. I'm all kinds of emotional and just pissed off at the whole situation. I wouldn't trade my life as a navy wife for anything but I would give my left arm to just have my husband home for the birth and support I need. I of course out on a strong face when he told me but now that we are off the phone I'm a fucking wreck. I'm still struggling to find someone to be able to be at the hospital with me so I'm not alone but even that isn't looking good. I would kill to have my mom fly in to be there for me but because my sister is due a few days before me with her first my mom is staying with her instead. I love my sister, but I hate her so much right now for being so selfish that she won't compromise and let my mom come be with me guilt free. Sorry that this got winded but I needed to get it out and off my chest.

Have you spoken with your sister since you got the news? I would hate for this to cause a major fight, but I think you should give it one shot at asking her to see your side of things and reconsider.
My mom will be coming out for a visit starting Jan. 4th but of course that doesn't solve/fix the issue of my labor and delivery.
Did you go to this website and ask them for a list of doulas nearby??

That's how I found mine. I hope you can find one you like. I preferred my doula over my husband or mom when I delivered.

Doll, I'm so sorry to hear this. It breaks my heart for you!
I really think your sister needs to reconsider this, and your mom too. I know your mom is put into a hard place though, but she really should just tell your sister that you need her more.
This may seem crazy, but we see it all the time that military members surprise their wives last minute, do you think it's at ALL possible that he's just pulling your leg?
Trust me, if you were here, I'd watch your kids so you can have someone in the room with you. I can't even imagine how difficult that'll be.
My friend was in Germany and our guys were gone. He missed the birth by 2 days, and she was all alone.

After having the chance to calm down and collect myself I called my FIL and his wife and they are changing the time they were going to be here to earlier so I now have them to take me to/be with me at the hospital. Normally they stay in a hotel 20 mins from our house but they are going to rent a trailer and stay in our driveway that way they are available ASAP 24/7. So nice that the house won't be over crowded with family. My MIL is going to extend her time up here for an extra week to cover the time that my FIL and his wife would have been here so I won't lose my help for two weeks before my mom gets in. Still sad and upset that my hubby won't be here but I'm trying to make the most of the shitty situation and just be thAnkful that his family is going to be here when mine can't.
