I am just feeling all the stress right now. I am 5 weeks pregnant, my hubby is out of town for 2 more weeks with his Reserve unit(has already been gone for 2). He still doesnt know about the baby because we cant have contact while he is training in the field. My 5 year old was just diagnosed with asthma today and my 3 year old is just plain being a 3 year old boy. I was doing fine until we got home and then it seems that everything hit me at once. I guess I just need some comforting words to get me throught the rest of the day!

if things get to be to overwhelming try to talk to some people about some of the stuff your feeling right now. If you are worried about your 5 year old try talking to some one who has a kid with asthma or someone with asthma. Rememeber you probliy always have some one to talk to or someone who can take the kids so you can have some alone time to straingten thing out

I was feeling bad earlier. I have had a very rough pregnancy and was feeling like it will never end. (I am 35 weeks along). Then I started thinking of the fact that soon I will be holding a little one. My two oldest children have asthma and luckily it hasn't acted up too badly. My 4 year old boy is a 4 year old boy! SO I understand that one.. Just remember 2 weeks is not to far off. Soon you will have hubby in your arms. He will make it all better even if it is just a kiss. I promise. Look on the bright side... you have a beautiful family (with a new little one cooking). A lot of women wish they could have just one of the children you are having a rough day with. Also... without bad days we would not appreciate the good ones. Try to smile. Good luck and God bless.

I know the feeling I have 3 boys(4yr,8yr,&12yr) and am pregnant with my 4th. The most thing to remember, try to relax in your own way! I can almost feel the eyes rolling on the other side of the screen. But it really does work- even if the way to relax is giving a good scream into a pillow! The more you are stressed the harder things will be. The stress isn't good on the baby either! Just try to sit back and think of your hubby getting back and being able to be with you guys again(and finding out that your family is growing!). Here's a good phrase to remember, "everything comes to pass, and this will to." Try to do a deep breath and say this out loud. Seems to help me! Just try to relax over there, and congratulations!

Join a military spouses group, they have lots of them on yahoo. Just knowing that you are not the only one going through things like this can be a big comfort. Find a play group for your older two kids, and remember about the Asthma, great strides have been made in the management of asthma. It's a scary diagnosis, but it can be controlled and your daughter can live a normal life. Best of luck to you.

I used to be a Navy wife and understand. Do your best to keep busy. Walking is great for stress. For now you might try to get the kids to relax or nap so you can too. It can only get better after it all seems to fall in on you. You'll do fine. I'm proud of you for being who you are and obviously handling things well up to now. Keep up the good and hard work. You'll miss this time when your kids grow as mine have; 23 and 15 now.

God bless you, sweetie!!!! HUGS!!!! Being pregnant is so hard! Your emotions are going crazy and you want to share this big news with your husband, and he is gone. I'm so sorry!
Not to mention, I only have one toddler and she wears me out (I'm pregnant, too.) This is a good time to make some plans with friends and family and ask for a little help. Do you have anyone you can lean on?
HUGS to you!
