That almost brought a tear. I couldnt imagine that.. you are all strong women that can be okay with that.. i could never be away.. It'll be okay tho.. your son knows who his mother is and he'll love you no matter what.. you will always be #1 in his eyes even if he follows his daddy around the house.. it'll be fine..

I am a submariners wife. So my husband doesnt leave for more than 3 months at a time but try to get your son excited abut daddy soming home, like showing pictures and saying dada to him but my son is 16 months and the last time my hubby came home it was sooo cute I did all that and he threw himself into his daddys arms! Its a hard situatin to handle it definatly takes a special woman to pretty much be a single mom most of the time. Good luck!

I have done this twice with each kid it seemed to have happened and it always worked out fantastic. Don't stress everything will fall into place. There is no better sight than when your kids see their daddy again and the look on my husbands face is like he is seeing his kids for the first time ever.

I think you should just focus on his return home and how much you've loved and missed him. Remember, your son will basically have no idea who this man is so you are really going to be needed to introduce your son to his wonderful daddy and it could really take some time for him to get used to daddy. And if you're used to doing everything for yourself, you deserve some help finally and probably a little time to relax and enjoy your family.

I was in your same shoes. Once I saw my husband with my son I just knew everything was going to be ok. Remember that he is just as worried that the baby won't like him and if you get on to him to much over how you like things it may overwhelm him. Easier said than done. But things will go a lot better if you roll with it. My husband has his way of doing things and they have songs that they share. Try to be understanding of what he has been though. Take is easy and let your wall down! Your hubby is coming home! YAY!
