So this is mine and hubby's both first deployment, up until a couple days ago I was copping fine with him being gone, I mean yeah it sucks that he isn't around and I only have Riley (our dog) to cuddle with at night. Which honestly helps, lol , but anyways. A couple days ago, I got a new count down on my phone for like how many months I have left till Emma is here and I only have 4 months. But the thing is before he got deployed, we found out there was NO WAY he would make it back for the birth because they are only doing 9 month tours instead of 18 month tours, which means no mid tour leave. His Sgt. tried to comfort me, telling me I'm not the only one and there is Skype, but I think it is just now hitting me that hubby will miss it. Yes, we are going to Skype but there is a HUGH difference between a computer screen and him holding my hand and then holding her for the first time.. I mean Emma will only be 4 or 5 months by the time he gets home but I guess I'm just having a hard time dealing with it. I know I just vented and I'm sorry but if any other first time mommies are going though the same thing, helping words would be WONDERFUL!!

This might be a dumb question but in the army is there anything you can do if a leave packet gets denied? TIA

What is it with military hospitals?!?! I've seen two different docs here and they are both a****** s!!! Pretty much told me I will have to have an epidural regardless and I don't want one. They told me if baby doesn't turn (currently breech) I will have yo have that turning thing done which I am totally against! I've been here three months and they still haven't done a scan to check anything! What the F#!@

My husband and I are young, I'm 22 & he's 20, and he recently decided to join the army. I'm a nervous wreck! I have no idea what is going on half the time, and there's so much information to process. I'm pregnant with our second baby girl (our first is 2 & 1/2) & he will be gone at basic when I have her. I guess I'm just nervous to do this pretty much on my own....any wives out there have any advice for me?? Thanks :)

Just curious what you ladies think the best army post for young children is? We've been to Ft. Hood and hated it and are now at Ft. Knox and it's ok. Dh is getting ready to reenlist again so we are discussing places we'd like to go. Thanks for any input! We have 2 kids, 3 years old and 8 months old.
