We are getting closer to an answer. Also they are now saying they will let us leave here early in order for us to move sooner- that will help some with me being pregnant. But all in all you are correct- you never know until it happens and we are pretty accustomed to that!

Yeah I hope that I can find a good Pediatrion as good as the one that I have now My doctor now is soooooo wonderful and fun. I just hope I can find one good not only for Montana but for me too you know that is the only bad thing with moving. I hope that you don't have to move that far when you are that close either that would just be terrible. but good luck to ya. YOu know the only bad thing with the military is that you never know anything for certain til the last moment and you don't know anything up front hardly at all. but its all worth it in the end is what i keep telling myself.

Talk to you later.

Enjoy norfolk! I was hoping my husband would be stationed there, but he's being sent to great lakes. I'd love to be down there though!! maybe in a few years!

We are actually waiting to hear about our next job- in Norfolk! We won't move until late in the year- actually part of what we are waiting to hear about is timing around the birth of the baby- I really don't want to do Texas to VA at 36 weeks! But if we have to we will- my husband would be so very happy to get this job and I'd be so happy for him. Right now we just have no clue if he will get it or not. Best of luck to you though. I hope the change of your medical care goes smoothly for you.

Good to hear- having daily contact is actually having it good. Of course you still miss him. Try to use the time he is away to learn about yourself and concentrate on who you are as an individual- you have time to spend on you- and YOU ARE WORTH IT! I am not sure of your age, but I am nearly 36- life has shown me that the better me "one" (me on my own) I can be the more I have to offer as part of a "two" (you and Shane). I seem to discover so much about myself when my husband is away and he sees it too. Just remember the importance of balance in all things :)

Shane just bought us a laptop where he has it in Flordia because I am staying at my mom and dads where they have a computer and he has a webcam so I can see him and I am going to go get one tomorrow so that He can not only see me but he will also be able to see Montana too. I agree that those whose husbands are over seas it has to be harder then my husband who is still in the states and is in the Navy where like you said a lot less risky then the Marines and army men. I just thank you guys for being there for my support too. Shane and I talk everyday now its just crazy with him not here with me. I will let you guys know.

Thanks for everything.

Well I'll just say e-mail is a God-send and sometimes we have camera access. We use Skype with family too. Tanya, it sounds like maybe your hubby is in school or training- he may not be in a situation that allows for much access to computers or phones. Katiebear- you are right about keeping perspective when they are just away but not in the desert- that's always harder. I also think a lot about families of the guys who are on the ground. Sailors have a bit more safety on ships in many areas of the world.

I know how you feel. My husband went to boot camp at the beginning of my 2nd trimester and has been gone since (he's in norfolk now). Any time I miss him or am having a rough moment about him being gone I remember all those wives whose husbands are overseas and in constant danger and it really puts things into perspective.

i hope you and your husband can be together again soon. I have about 5 more weeks until I am with my husband again (hopefully).

does your husband have computer access? One suggestion is to get webcams and sign up for skype. Its free and a great way to see your husband when you talk to him.

I can't wait til I get to see him everyday and talk to him everyday. Where do you live at? He is hopeing to get jacksonville fl or oceanna in va can't wait.

You're very welcome. I just found a typo in my message, but I think you got what I meant any way. I meant to say DON'T try to be super woman but do you best. As for protecting your little girl from your sad times, I agree you should not let her see you too upset because she cannot understand the level of your feeling and may take it too seriously. But remember it's a good thing to teach a child that parents have feelings too. It will help her know what it is to love and care for someone in a healthy way.
I am here any time you need to talk. As you know finding a lot of time to surf the web is nearly impossible with small kids, but I nearly always answer email. I believe God sets others in our paths for a reason so feel free to write any time!
BEAT ARMY-

I want to Thank You for leaving such a wonderful message. I do feel like I have to be strong for my husband but then agian I have those days where I just want to sit and cry all day but I can't because I don't want to upset my little girl. I need someone outside of my husband to tell me that I am wonderful person and I am glad that it was someone who is going through the same thing. So Thank you agian and if you ever need to talk just let me know and we can talk. Thanks Agian From the Bottom of My Heart!!!

I just read your message and simply want to send a note of support. My husband is in the Navy as well. We were blessed to have him home for the birth of our daughter and he should be around for the next one in September. He has however been gone in between. I am so proud of you and your attitude. My hubby will probably head back the the desert or at least to the fleet not long after our second is born. I want you to know that as you all build your life in the Navy you will find strength you never knew you had and it will make your husband so amazed!! Also, always remember it's okay to have weak days and just miss him. Keep it all in balance and all will go well. Do try to be super woman but always, always do your best. You sound like you are going to be a fine Navy wife and mom
