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!!

Hi ladies,
ive been thinking about joining the military. i have a one year old son. his father and i are not together. My mother is in the army and was telling me that if i joined the military i would have to sign over all of my rights to my sons father.it doesnt help that my mom doesnt want me in the military at all so i dont know if she was saying that to scare me. I would never sign over my rights because i know my sons father would try to keep my son away from me. Would i really have to sign over my rights? thanks for reading
