Military mommies I necessitate some baby/husband direction?
As you may or may not know my husband is in the US Air Force. Well in August, Mason will be turning 1 but we JUST found out that my husband has be assigned to training in California starting the first week of August and he won't be home until the 26th. He's going to miss Mason's first birthday! (August 12) :(
I know it comes with the territory of anyone a military wife, but I was hoping someone could talk me through this. I know that others have probably face birthdays and other milestones while their other half was deployed or away at training.
Should we just work it our little guy's birthday early? Any other ideas? Thanks so much to all.
I would utter that you should celebrate his birthday early so that way daddy have a chance to be apart of it. If it makes you feel any better, my husband be deployed when our daughter was born. He didn't get to hold her until she was 1 month weak. Hang in there!
I know, pretty much literally, what you are going through.
My son will be turning one as well on August 19th and my husband is a Marine currently deployed overseas.
I am throwing two small parties for our son, one around his actual birthday and then the other once my husband returns home.
I totally have a feeling for you (my husband has pretty much missed the first year of our son's life) and birthdays and holidays definitely come second when duty calls.
Stay strong. Source(s): USMC wife
yea you guys could definetly celebrate it earily! i mean your little guy will never know! that would be better consequently him missing it thats for sure! you could also video tape it for your husband so that when he comes home he can watch it. thats if he misses it! but i think the best bearing to go is have it earily or throw 2 little partys! one for you and your husband and him. and another with newly you and your son on his actual birthday.that way you still get to celebrate on his definite birthday to!
I would celebrate early next just you and your lil guy have a lil something on his actual bday, and if you do it while hubby's gone take loads of pic and video and please generate sure daddy records a bday message for the lil guy. Been there through so many celebrations and births not have hubby around:( it sucks but we make it work!
Celebrate it early. The baby doesn't know what day it is, or what a birthday is.
You could celebrate it early and take pictures if you considered necessary to. My dad was air force too the whole time I be growing up until about 4 yrs ago. He missed a lot of my birthdays in the setting up too. He always sent me a present from where ever he was though :).
I read out celebrate it a week(or whenever) early. You obviously enjoy reason to do so, I wouldn't have wanted my husband missing out on Noah's first birthday.
Then you can own a mini-celebration on your son's actual birthday.
I know how you feel, though. My husband is going away for Sergeant's Course the first week of August and will be gone through the end of September. Noah is 15 months old immediately but with being a toddler he's ALWAYS doing something new! I guess my camera will bring lots of action while my husband's away. :)
I would say exult early so your husband doesn't miss out!
Do a party, cake, presents, all the fun stuff so your husband can be near.
Answers: I am an Army Wife and we get orders to Germany. I couldn't be happier but we are due to be there before Alexis turns one. So we are have her party 2 weeks before her actual birthday. We are doing this mainly for clan. I can understand where you are coming from.
I was pregnant and give birth while mine was in Iraq. He met her at 3 weeks old.
Thankfully he hasn't really missed anything but I own a feeling once we get to Germany he will be deployed, It's inevitable. I am due with number 2. It is tough but we learn to live with it. =)
If you want to talk simply email me.
do it on his bday, and enjoy an extra party when your hubby comes back. like a jumbo celebration of masons bday and the hubby coming posterior all in one! lol
