Well I want to say sorry, because I know how hard it is not having them there being pregnant. My fiance is in the marines as well. I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant, and we're not sure if he's going to be able to make it for the birth either. He goes to Iraq in March and has training he can't miss during the month she's supposed to be born =/. It's really hard. I really can't say that anythings going to make it better. You're always going to want him there with you, so you just have to find something that will make it easier for you. Boot camp is rough since you aren't able to talk to them while they're there. Just try to remember that once he's done with boot camp, you'll have him there with you both. He won't be having to go to Iraq anytime soon then, so you'll get to have him during some of the most important times of your baby's life. Just try to stay positive....everytime you feel upset about something, change it and get something positive out of it. You don't have him for the actual birth, but there are so many people that miss the monumental moments during their first year, and you get to have those moments with him.
