I feel ya, hun! I was pregnant during the last 2 deployments! Try to look at those monthly appointments in a positive manner! What I did was count down to them every month & they helped the deployment go by so much more quickly! They were a huge highlight for me!

Hang in there! :hugs

I cannot imagine emotional deployment rollercoaster + emotional pregnancy hormone rollercoaster. Either one is enough to make me loopy. But both?! Shoot, you'd have to commit me. That's a reservation for 1 in a nice, white, padded room, please. :mrgreen

Hang in there!!!!

remember one month down of the pregnancy means one month down of him being gone...before you know it he will be home and the baby will pop out;)

With our first pregnancy I was pretty much alone. He was home long enough to do the deed then back when I was 5 & 6 months, left again then back when she was 3 months old.

I feel your pain. :hugs
