Military spouses or wives!?!

are you dealing with your spouse getting ready to deploy or their unit preparing for deployment & may wish appointments or your child's birth?

How are you handling it?

    My husband is deployed and has missed a couple appointments so far - including when I found out we were having a baby boy.  I definitely wish he could be here to experience these events together (especially as this is our first baby!), but we've made the best of it so far.  

    As much as you can, try to communicate with your spouse (email, Skype, etc.!) so that they still feel connected and part of the pregnancy.  Also, you could keep a pregnancy journal that you could give to your spouse when they get back from deployment.  Finally, reach out to the spouses' club at your local base, there will likely be other spouses that are dealing with deployed loved ones or who have been through a pregnancy during a deployment - they may be a great support group for you during this time!  I will say that my husband's deployment is flying by - and I hope this will be the case for you!

    Take lots of pictures too! My hubby was deployed when DD was born and he loved all the pictures I would send!

    My husband deploys frequently and he missed a chunk of my first pregnancy and will be missing some of this pregnancy. Unfortunately he also can't take a lot of time away from his job to come to appointments so I do my best to keep him informed, but I had so many ultrasounds with DD1 that he saw her a lot too! 
    We did a lot of Skype/Facetime. Lots of pictures etc. I also wrote him emails/cards etc telling him news while he was away, or about what I was reading etc.
