Feeling Super Bummed!

[princesslo007]

So as most of you know, my husband is military, and we are stationed about 1,400 miles away from our home. When I found out I was pregnant, my parents planned to come out for the birth (I really wanted my mom here.) They were going to wait got closer to my due date so they could try to make it for the birth. Well, my mom called me today and told me that my dad got laid off, so they're not going to be able to come when the baby is born! I feel so bummed!!! I mean, luckily we are going to be moving closer to home at the end of September (I'm due September 13th) but I feel like Harrison is going to come sooner, and I really wanted my mom to be here. Its hard enough being military, being far away from both of our families, and being pregnant on top of that. Like most military families, our support system here is very tiny (we have two very close couple friends and that's really about it.) It just s.u.c.k.s. and I'm bummed! :(

Seriously though I feel the same way! I am so glad to be moving home though, Even though its gonna be so stressful, it will be so worth it!

Np girlie I know how hard it can be im always under my mom lol when ever I go home I dont know how ill deal with out her.

I never thought of skyping. Our hospital has wifi, that would probably work out good!!! Such a great idea myaugbaby22!

[myaugbaby22]

Oh my goodness that much that's crazy talk lol. Well skyping or maybe he will try to stay in closer to ur move date

Yeah this is our first too which makes it hard. I really wish we could do that because that's an awesome idea, but for both of them to fly out the tickets are well over $500 a piece (when we flew home in June it was $1200 to fly for my husband and I.)

It's nice to hear from other milso's though who understand! Sometimes I just feel so lonely being so far away!

Hopefully something spectacular happens an they will be able to make it. or if u have any money maybe u can set it aside for them a little weekend trip after he is born to stay with u. My brother is military snd they set aside a hundred each check and brought my mom to Texas for my nieces birth. and yes its really hard cause its our first but I guess duty calls

[princesslo007]

Thank you! I had a feeling that something was going to trip them up so they couldn't come, but its still a bummer I can't imagine not having my husband there! We were thankful that my husband was suppose to be deployed in January, but since we were recently married, they let him stay here, and then we found out we were pregnant, so he missed deployment again.

Im sorry sweetie. My hubby is in the military he won't even be here for thirty birth but I got my mom and his mom. Not the same situation but I know how u want them there. I hope ur day gets better.
