husband being shipped out with marines

[hoosier]

...many words of wisdom above.....

I have heard that pregnant women are more emotional due to the hormonal changes, so if you start crying at a time you really didn't want to, you coiuld always balme it on that!

I know that we are no substitute, but if you ever need to 'talk', there seems to always be someone on here.

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

I am SO sorry for you both sweetie. Don't shut down and hide, reach out and let others help hold you up! There are on-line support groups for dependents - but we can help!

I am so sorry sweetie, this is different and the same only from a different era, my dad did 2 tours in Nam when I was in high school and I remember the fear he would never come home but he did and so will your Josh. Please seek council on getting away from your father and concentrate on you and your babe. We are here for you.

My goodness, don't worry about "rambling". I send out my heartfelt wishes for you, your husband and your unborn baby. You are very courageous for going through this, and we all appreciate your husband's dedication.

I will be praying for his safe return. I know it's hard for both of you. I had a friend who was pregnant and the Army let her stay in the U.S. until she had her baby and her maternity leave time was up. Then she was shipped to Iraq. She missed all of her little girls firsts, but was grateful for having the opportunity to serve her country. She is back and her daughter didn't have a clue as to who she was when she got home, but it didn't take long for that bond to strengthen and all is well now. Hang in there! God bless you both for your selflessness and for serving our country! Yes, you to! You are serving by letting him go. Keep your head held high and know that all of your friends will be here for you when you need us.

Thank you all so much.

Josh and I are just taking things one day at a time. He went to my doctors appointment with me and the baby is healthy and doing great.

This evening when Josh came home from work (he works at a local carbon plant) he walked up behind me when I was crying over lonestar's song "I'm Already There" in the kitchen and just held me it felt so good, then he picked me up and carried me to the couch and made me relax. We snuggled and watched a movie and he gave me a backrub which his are the best ever

!!! Josh is doing everything in his power to comfort me and I can see it in his eyes how much he loves me and the baby. He reads to the baby every night before bed, I really hope Josh is home for the birth of our child and that he doesn't miss to many firsts!!!


Will they tell him how long he will be gone? I have so many questions to ask.
