DH joined his new job today. It's in a city 5 hrs from where we live. He left yesterday afternoon...and I cried so much...I had to squelch the sobs as I was already nauseous and crying always makes me throw up...It was so hard to say good bye...he will visit every weekend, but still I can't believe I have to be alone till February...(I will be quitting my job and moving to where he is in mid February...)
O Friday and Saturday I was feeling fine, I was still taking zofran, but I was feeling good after a long time and I thought M/S was finally gone...but no it came back with a vengeance on Sunday and today at work I almost threw up during a restroom break..I feel miserable and nauseous and I soo soo miss my DH...
I'm so sorry you're DH had to leave, I know what you mean, my husband had to go on a buissnss trip last weeked and I missed him so much. Hopefully the time will fly right on by and soon it'll be February and you'll be with him again.
I know how you feeel. My dh works out of town and I only see him 2 days a week. We've been doing this for a year now, but are trying really hard for something better. Are you worried about moving right before the baby comes?
Thanks girls...Heather that must be tough...I am not worried too much abt moving that close to my due date...wedon't have any good furniture here, so we are planning to buy brand new furniture for the new place...plus the few things that we do have (bed,mattress, TV, hometheater system,microwave, toasteroven, clothes) DH's company is proving a moving company which will pack and move for free...so I just decided I am not going to move a muscle or strain myself at all, my parents are coming from India hopefully in mid March, and they can help with any arrangements not done until then...
I know what it's like to be alone. My exH was in Korea for almost my entire pregnancy and birth with my last. Actually, he never came "home" again... we filed for divorce... not that that will happen to you.... I just know what it's like to be so alone while pregnant. It's tough. But at least you will have weekends. Cherish those moments and you will be surprised at how fast the time flies.
Anitha, I am so sorry you're going to be alone for so long. Chris and I lived separately while he was in the police academy for 6 months and it was very hard. I can't imagine doing that while I was pg. Anytime you need support/an ear to listen, I am just a PM away.
Anitha, I'm sorry your DH has to be away. It's going to be tough but you'll be surprised at how fast the time will go, which of course doesn't help the way you feel now

Anitha--I definitely know what you're feeling. DH and I have been in your situation for nearly 7 years. (He's gone Monday-Thursday or Friday and then is home on the weekends unless the job is farther away and then it's a couple weeks or a month before he can get home) He does site supervision for the company he works for, which has jobs all over the country. Sometimes he's as far away as Colorado, Arizona, Maine... and it sucks. Especially now that we're expecting a little one and I'm no longer in school (selfish, but there were days especially close to presentation time where I was glad he wasn't here!) Anyway, if you ever need a sympathetic ear feel free to PM me...
Keep your chin up! You'll be together again soon!
Sam
*hugs* that must be really tough. i hate it when my DH goes away for the weekend! but i'm sure the time will pass quickly and know that you always have us here for support!!!
Aww sweetie I'm sorry! My DH has to travel for work some, and while I normally enjoy the girl time (girl movies, pedicures, etc) there is something about being pg that makes me want him here. Hang in there. Try to do some fun girlie stuff when you feel better... February will be here in no time!
I could imagine what you're going through. It must be so hard to be going through this great, and also ever changing time, mostly alone. Lately my hubby's been getting on my nerves lol, but I'd miss him so much. Sometimes hes gone for 3 days at a time, and its hard for me. This may not be enough, but we're all here for you, when you feel a little lonely.
Oh wow, that will be pretty hard.. but keep yourself busy and make sure you do fun things on he weekends together. My boyfriend, or whatever he is these days, and I were in a long distance relationship a couple years ago for almost a year and a half! He lived in Georgia while I lived in Florida, it was hard, we'd have to fly every month to see each other... It was very heartbreaking but its doable. Before you know it it will be Feb!

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear this! My hubby was deployed to Iraq for 15 months, so I definitely understand that terrible lonliness, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone! Hang in there, we tend to be tougher than we realize.
