This is mostly just rambling but I have nobody to talk to currently so if you dont want to read i totally don't blame you. I just need to freak out a little. lol So my son is a little over a year old. Most of the time my husband is home with me and our son because we work together. However my husband is Army Reserve... He has to spend 4 days in the field doing training. no cell service no internet and he may not be allowed to call me until he comes home sunday night! This is the longest we have been apart since we started dating when i was 16! I'm kind of freaking out...not about the baby he's an easy little one but what if i CANT handle it you know? what if something happens or there's an emergency??? I really have no idea what to do!!! advice? or pity? lol either are welcome
I say take a deep breath and relax. You have to prepare yourself mentally for things like deployments if your s/o is involved in the military. They could ship him out tomorrow, KWIM? Take it one day at a time and just remember, take a deep breath!!! :)
I think you will do great! My husband works two jobs and is going to grad school......so sometimes I basically feel like a single parent. I tend to be home alone a lot. It can be a bit stressful, but I suggest renting some movies (ones you can never watch with a man....a chick flick or something fun!) make yummy hot chocolate or have some naughty dessert & just relax. Although your hubby is away, this is your time to yourself and to hang out with your little guy! You'll be just fine! Contact me anytime too :)
I'm sorry mom. I was never a Marine wife but a Marine girlfriend (DH got out before we married). I've been with DH since I was 16 so I can relate to it. I thought I was going to die the first time he was deployed. I was away at college so our situations are different. I survived it and it made us stronger and closer. You can do it!! Stay strong, find something to focus on!
just go about your days and nights like you would if he was home...and everything will be fine...if something really bad happens there is always police or 911 lol
Just relax, when i was first home with my son all day alone i was nervous and thankfully ihavent spent any nights alone!!! yikes.
Its a little scarey being alone at first but look at it like this, you will have some time with just you and your LO and that will be soo special. Plan things for you to do together and have fun. By doing that you wont notice not having your hubby around! The longest Ive been away from my hubby since Ive known him is 2 days! Good luck!
I'm sure you will be fine. Just take it one day at a time and try to keep busy with your little guy. Is there a playgroup or Mom's club you can join? I joined when I was pregnant and it is nice to know there are other moms out there willing to help or just offer support. You might want to look into it and see what's available.
Sorry I've never been in your position so the only thing I could offer is to call 911 if you think there is an emergency. I know that doesn't help. :(
Good luck mama. I'm sure you can do it!
