having a baby.
Not right now of course, but after we move and are settled in, anyone have any suggestions about having babies in the military?

Hearing those words it makes me week




I have no experience from this but one thing I do know (which I'm sure you know too) is if your husband gets deployed you'll be raising the child by yourself till he comes back. It'll be a bit more challenging to have a child in the military lifestyle but if you're a strong person you can do it.




And I never wanna say goodbye

well as it stands now, once we move he won't be going back to Iraq, though if something pops up on the global radar he will have to go

Someday you will admit to what you're missing




I'm 20 and I wanna have a kid sooner rather then later. I don't wanna wait till my 30s, especially late 30s!




Someday I'll make you stay

This was how things stood for us when we got married. Thank you stop-loss, now he's getting ready to go again-- and it was a mistaken stop-loss at that.

Be prepared for to do all the work yourself for periods of time. If you guys are looking to stay in at all, eventually you will need to take another dirty-boots station, and even if it's non-deploying, there will still be field exercises and other things that will keep him in the field for long periods of time.

Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Oh yeah, I know all about the field, been there, done that, while we were dating and again while we have been married, its usually at least a week out of the month.
we will be in for at least 5 more years, we just re-upped
