Hey ladies - a bit of a selfish post coming up. I'm not quite sure where else to turn. DH told me last night that he's got to cancel our first family holiday (down to see HIS family in Melb) because he's got to do a course in Brisbane to qualify him to then go to Afghanistan. We were supposed to fly down together on Sunday night, but now he's flying out to Brisbane on Monday and I just don't know what to do. He says he'll likely be in Brisbane for 1 to 2 weeks, then soon after deploy to Afghan until March. MARCH! I know I'm an army wife, but we had discussed this after his last deployment, and we had decided he wouldn't go on any more deployments - which is why we decided to try for a baby. And now she's here, and he's going. WTF?!?!? Please don't post anything about this on FB - it's still a bit hush hush.
