That's rough. My husband works away from home for weeks at a time. He usually is gone between 280 and 300 days a year. Curently he is in Trinidad working and won't be home until the end of February. He's had this job for 14 years, sometimes it is hard. You can do it. Make sure you have a good support network of friends and family that can help you out when you need it and that will be there for emotional support for you. You will have the baby to keep you busy. Make sure you take lots of pictures of everything he will be missing. Remember too that he will be missing you the same way you are him, only he will be doing it without the comforts of being home. If you both work together you can do this. Congratulations on the baby!!
