i completely understand. my biggest fear is that he will have to leave and he won't ever come back. he and my kids are my world and my kids love their daddy so much. i know if something happened to my hubby my daughter would be devastated. is he fulltime army or is he guards.my hubby is guards, but he's asked to think about him going active. that really scares me cause i know we will have to move around and it will be a big change. i'm alot like u i hate when my hubby leaves for his weekend drill. he was gone for 6 months for training and i hated it. me and another wife say that the soldiers arent what make the army strong its us wives. we are the ones who have to stay home and deal with the kids and everything else. yes they have to train and go overseas but we keep them and the family together. believe me u can do it. if i can do it then u can do it. i relied on my husband so much before he left and i grew alot while he was gone. know im like the one that is the stronger one. like my hubby tells me all the time there are so many things that knock u down but look what comes out of it. believe me its been the same way for em with the army. my hubby has been in for over a year and he's become a better man and i'm proud of him but every day scares me cause its one day closer till he leaves. but anyways on an upper not stay strong. believe me i know what ur going through and if u ever need someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on i'm here. just email me at armywifey202@yahoo.com. and i dont think u will ever get over that fear. if u do tell me how u do it cause i don't thik i ever will. just stay strong for your baby and your fiance and urself. stay army wife strong.

do u have a myspace. i have a really good army wife quote that is so true.

What you had just wrote to me was very helpful, and some what if it made me wanna cry. Thank you! And i never watch the news. Even before my fiance and i were even together it always made me worry about everything.. I'm such a worry freak. I love the fact that he loves being in the army and i support in 100% as well.. But when he leaves for just the weekend training, I' am so afraid that he is gonna come home and tell me that hes leaving.. Sometimes i think that the military isnt such a good thing for family's with young kids. But than again thats what makes our family that much stronger. Not to mention our country. I'm just to scared of losing him and having to raise our family with out him..

i understand what u are going through my husband enlisted right before i found out we were pregnant with our second. he left for training and got back just in time for his birth. we were already married, but the only thing i can say about that is still make the plans. don't put ur life on hold. u never if he will get deployed but it is better for u if u are married. he will get better pay to take care of u and the baby and u will get life insurance and health insurance. when it comes to him misses the babies first when my husband was gone for training i video taped everything in my daughters life that i thought he would want to see and he watched when he got home. they watched it together and my daughter loved it cause she got to see herself and she would tell daddy about it. it was very cute. my husband isnt a crier but he actually cried for some parts and it made his day. know when it comes to being scared about him getting deployed i dont know what to tell u cause i have the same fear. all u can do is pray for him everyday and believe in ur heart that he will be ok. you and the baby will be his strength while he's gone. my husband tells me that we are his will to live, and i'm sure its the same for him. when it comes to him reenlisting thats something u both will have to talk about. my husband wants to go for the full 20 years and he just started, but i told him i would support him 100%. so it will all depend on how u guys feel when his reenlistment comes up. u never know he may change his mind. i hope some of this helps. believe me every time i think about my hubby leaving i am so scared but i try to remember that he wants this and i know that he loves me and his kids and he would do anything to come back to us. oh and by the way another army wife told me this once. never watch the news because it only makes it worse. i watch the news but only once in awhile.
