It''s been awhile since I''ve posted in here. Hubby has graduated boot camp and starts his A school next week. I get to go live with him soon. I''m really excited. It took awhile for him to get out of boot camp but at least the worst is over now.

I'm excited. I've been worried I wouldn't be able to get out of my lease (long story) so that we can move into a house when my husband gets back. Well,I have a friend whose husband works with moves and stuff and turns out the military clause says if he's deployed for over 90 consecutive days we can, so I can pull it off a month early!

Gotta love that military clause huh?
In my news...Looks like we'll be going where we want to go. The Kingdom of the Outlands, in the Barony of Dragonsspine, under the House Darkspire.
*snerk* For all you non SCAdians...That's Colorado. We've also gotten back into the SCA. Darkspire is a great group of people. Several have also offered to come down here and help us move. That's just really cool.

What's SCA? LOL I'm just glad to hear you're going there, sounds like a blast.
I'm thinking about just doing all the move myself before Tommy gets back to make it easier on him.

Hey everyone. Some of you may or may not know me, but that's alright if you don't. I've only been in here once or twice and I'm Ally_O's fiance. I am currently in the US Army and I'm in Airborne Infantry. It'd be cool to talk to someone else who is or was in the military.

The SCA is The Society for Creative Anachronism. Basically you get all dressed up and re-create pre-17th-century Europe. It's a lot of fun.
Moving by yourself can be a total nightmare. Good luck if you go that route. YIKES!

Hey everybody I'm new here.
My fiance is in the Navy, He's deployed over in afghanistan right now. sad He won't be home until sometime in febuary. Were expecting our first child together in January however. So I figured the parent guild would be a nice place to hang out, where there would be other people going through some of the same stuff.
Anyhow I just wanted to say Hello . biggrin

Hola new peeps!
Yeah, well I'll try to save up some cash to get movers to help, it's just the packing, unpacking, finding a decent house, getting Logan and the dogs to behave during it all will be the problem. I don't think my husband understands the magnitude of me doing it all, lol. I just want to be in a house by christmas and make it less stressful on him. I'm crazy I think. xd

Kaiya, I can understand how you probably feel being by yourself to have a baby. I hope you have family nearby. I had our first without my husband being with me, because we were both in the military at the time but he was still finishing the arabic course and they wouldn't let him even come see me for thanksgiving while school was out (which was when I had the baby). I didn't have any family nearby either so I had to rely on friends a lot. I don't know if you're like me at all but I'm extremely independent, I don't like to rely on anyone or anything except myself, though I've extended that to include relying on my husband. It made me really stressed out the whole time I was pregnant, especially since I had a stressful job and it was right before the war started. I would recommend having some family come stay with you. My aunt/godmother flew out like the day after I had the baby and stayed with me for a few days and it was helpful. And I had a lot of friends from my platoon and people who were in charge of me at the time who actually came to the hospital to be with me for a little while or check on me. I'm actually having another baby in december that my husband will be back for. If I had to have another one by myself I think I'd go to the company office and choke the life out of the senior enlisted guy, who picked my husband to deploy to Iraq for a few months even though there were people volunteering. rolleyes He was getting petty vengeance because my husband wouldn't extend his contract to go to Sgt's course. Anyways, good luck on being by yourself, and I hope that you have lots of people nearby to help you out.

Not a military family member however!
Any mommies that are looking at being an a state where their family is not and perhaps can't have people fly in and their hubbies/boyfriends/sig other's are gone might consider a doula for the birth.
Just like having your partner there they've been shown to lower the necessity for medical intervention. I know the concept sounds weird, but my hospital has a volunteer staff of them, and I know that if I end up in the hospital and William is out in Gig Harbor and mom and dad are both still at work I certainly will utilize a doula.
It helps because they know about moving and positions and are really there to be an advocate FOR YOU (and your husband/family you certainly can have a doula even with family support).
