My mood while writing this blog: Ok

My pregnancy was kind of a surprise. My husband and I hadn't decided yet whether or not we wanted to have a baby before or after his deployment. I say kind of a surprise because I know the day the baby was conceived. I just happen to look online the next day to see that that night was my most fertile day. So I kind of knew then. Im due Oct 5 and my husband was set to deploy mid to late November to Iraq. Being prior service myself I understood all of this when we married and am fine with him leaving. But now his deployment has been changed to mid to late October and def. to Afghanistan. I was ok with Iraq because there isnt much going on right now, but afghanistan... wow. Last time the sent a Battalion there and lost 35 marines and had over 150 injuries. I just worry or course. Now I will have a 21 month old and a newborn by myself. He will only get to spend a maximum of 2 weeks with our new family before he departs. Im just so upset right now. I thought we had more time. Then again I know the military and know that things change and the time will probably change a few more times before he leaves, but they're def. going to Afghanistan and that's what really kills me. Please pray for our family and the other families going through this as well as for our service men and women who are currently over there.

Wow, I do feel for you. I give you and your husband a lot of credit for serving our country. I would worry too if my husband was going to Afghanistan and worrying about the baby and toddler on top of things. We are all here for you if you need support.

My thought are with you .... You must be a very strong person to have been in the military yourself. I give you so much credit. I know its not the same ... but all of us will be here for you when he leaves :)
