Hey there, I completely understand the boat of the husband being deployed..... My Husband Left on October 18th for his training for Iraq. I have a 5 month old baby at home and his 10 year old daughter in my care. He's already missed alot of Cecilias firsts...... such as her trying to sit up, and reaching for things, her first tooth is coming in, and she's trying to scoot about and becoming more vocal everyday, and is starting to laugh at things, he's missing it all. And it kills me inside to know it. I miss him terribly and i know he wishes he were home and there's nothing we can do about it. Sad thing is he hasn't even hit Iraq yet. He'll be home December 23rd till January 2nd and then he leaves for Iraq. His ten year old daughter isnt handling it well either her grades have all dropped down to d's or lower, and her excuse is she's worried last time he went she told me she was 5 and dind't understand what was going on but she looked at me and told me she knows now that something could happen and shes scared and dosen't understand why daddy had to go.and why he can't just quit. =( His family is great I love them and they've been in the house helping me as much as they can with things he would normally do. But it's still not the same. and i guess i get really frustrated when Cecilia is really fussy or won't go to sleep, or is sick and i'm the one that has to get up and tend to her because it's just me and i have to get up and go to work in the morning. I never signed on to be a single mom, but yet i know i did. And all i can do is not let the kids see me worry, and pray that he's going to return to us safe.

I have a 2 year old daughter and a 2 month old daughter. I am feeling especially overwhelmed right now. My husband was deployed to iraq about three months ago... It's really hard sometimes and it makes me sad he has to miss a whole year out of our daughters' lives. Especially the baby's first year. He only got to come home to see her for two days. If anyone is going through something similar and has some advice, i would appreciate it!
