A friend of mine and I, have had a lot of life events match up and be almost identical. It's kind of serendiputous that we live on opposite coasts and have SO much in common. Marriage to a marine, our son's due date's & birthdays, deployments, and now she is a little a head of me with her hypermesis during her daughter's pregnancy and birth. I'm experiencing the same pregnancy only a few months later!
Her husband has deployed again and just missed the birth of their daughter and it's giving me a look at what will probably happen with my husband and daughter. The worst part of this all is she is going through a tough time with her family not understanding the difficulty of having two kids with her husband deployed. Instead of supporting her and consoling her, they are judging her and making crude remarks. Just breaks my heart.
It really makes me sad I can't help her. I only pray someone gives her a break and helps her out. I'm about to go through the same thing with a newborn and my almost three year old and I can only hope my family and friends who've stuck it out along with me, continue too. And continue to stand by my complaining :)
I feel very lucky to have a friend like her, and all the others who've come in and out of my life when I need them. They say you can't choose your family, but I am lucky to have some family who've been so supportive in my life. I love all of you!<3
