Mine works out of town two weeks then we ger him home two weeks.  Its not easy, especially being pregnant with three little ones to take care of.  I just try to keep myself busy with different projects while he is gone, and make the best out of the time we get together.  And honestly its way better tgen it was before he got this job almost 3 years ago, cause he would work 12-14 hour days 6 days a week so we hardly saw him at all.  Now we get so much more quality time together that its worth the time apart.

This is our first! So I think that makes it a little harder because I want him here for everything!

My husband is active duty military also. I find that keeping a journal helps a lot. Also getting out of the house even if its just a trip to the library. Try to stay busy it helps time go by.

My husband is active duty air force. I'm used to him leaving last minute notice. Also being gone months at a time. It's never easy. Especially being pregnant. I just try to occupy my time with things around the house. We have 2 cats and a dog. Our mini zoo. I also Nanny for two little girls. But there are some days I just wanna break down and cry. If you ever Just want someone to talk to message me! :)
