I hate the idea of DH going away at all - after bubs is here he has camp and a trip to oz ahead of him, whcih I am not lookingforward to (and neither is he!)
Hoepfully your dad will be helpful rather than not! -------------

my DH goes away all the time...
I just try to relax... The hardest thing for me is sleeping... I dont sleep very well while he is away. Generally DH comes home ad the housework has not been done cos I am soooo tired. Chin up! You will get through this! Great news on your Dad being there! I hope it works out ------------- formerly known as "Bee" Ethan ~ March 2003 Big 6 year old school boy!

miss, my DH went to Oz when Ashlee was barely a month old! Granted it was only for a few days, but I still packed up my stuff and moved to Mums for those few days hehe!!!
Deb, where's hubby gone for training? Hope you're doing ok! |

Hi Deb, my DH went away today as well. He does go away quite a bit for work it never seems to get any easier. I feel for you having to cope with two boys, I've only got one and he can be enough!! He's just so full on. I'll be ready for a holiday when he gets back next Sunday. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Aw, Deborah, hope it goes really quickly! Off-Topic, but mine went away for one night last weekend and I had a BLAST!!! Don't get me wrong, I like my hubby and all, but that evening once Ella was in bed I cooked up a dinner full of olives ('cause no-one was there to pick them out), cracked open a beer (the last one and no-one was there to fight me for it!), watched girly DVD's (no-one whinged about how boring they were or how late they finished), and held the remote allllll evening. It rocked! Wouldn't be keen on a whole week though. Hope having your Dad staying works out nicely for ya ------------- Andie |

It's hard isn't it?! My DH is away all the time, as in over half the time we've been together (army). He goes away for 6 months in November (1 month before bubs is due). I think that's going to be the hardest thing for me, not having that support during the labour.
It's a love/hate relationship with him being away though, I hate him going and it's usually such a long time (although only 6 days at the moment - he comes home on Thursday hopefully  ), but I love trying new things by myself, and having that honeymoon period when he gets home.
Best thing - have support. Even if it is only through OhBaby! |

Good luck for the rest of the week Deborah. Isn't it annoying how men have such warm bodies and women are so cold? Just when you need a little heater beside you they decide to go away for the week Electric blankie for me tonight while DH is sleeping in a tent on the West Coast hahahaha
