Any army wives out there? I am pregnant and losing my marbles???

How do you deal with the separation? My daughter will be 21 months when he leaves for basic training and I will be 7 1/2 months pregnant. I will give birth to our son when he is gone and he won't be back until our son is about 8 weeks old. His occupational training will likely be about 54 weeks and we'll get to go with him. I am scared, nervous, and excited all at the same time. His mom grew up as the child of an airforce officer and vet from WWII and his father's side has a few WWII vets too, so he's got an idea of what to expect. I on the other hand have never been introduced to this life before and I am willing to go for it, but OMG! I'm afraid of all the normal fears, death, separation, kids attached to Daddy, etc, nervous because I don't know what to expect and excited for him because he is, as well I have never lived alone and been responsible for myself (I left home at 17 and moved in with him). I am 26 and curious what other wives have done to cope and deal with it all.
