I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant with my third baby. My youngest is just 8 months old and my oldest is 6. My husband also has a son that will be 2 next month.

My husband is in the National Guard and has been deployed to Afghanistan. He came home on the 12th of February for a 15-day leave and – surprise! – I got pregnant. It is OK, because we want to have another baby, but I am worried about doing this first five months of pregnancy without him.

If anyone out there has any advice, please don't hesitate. I could use it.
