Motherhood & Deployment

I knew it wasn't going to be easy!! But i'm getting the hang of it. I didn't think when i became a mom i would be on my own for pretty much the 1st yr of the babies life. But i am. And i think i'm doing pretty good. its hard balancing everything tho. Doing laundry, cleaning, feeding him, and taking care of him. Not only that, i have to be strong for my son. I have to constantly remind him of his dad, show him pictures, talk about him 24/7. I'm actually making a DVD to send out tomorrow for Jake. I also have to be strong for Jake. Everytime jake see's him, he tears up. And it breaks my heart to pieces. But i try my hardest to be strong for Jake in this time, cause its hard for him. Probably harder for him. I couldn't imagine what he goes threw everyday! Having to be away from us. it's got to be hard. But he is our hero. And we cherish him for everything he does. I hope i am being everything for jake. And the greatest mom i can be for Landon. Cause i'm trying my hardest to be everything for both of them.And i'm getting great feed back from family telling me i'm doing a great job, and i'm a very good mother and loving mother. I just gotta keep reminding myself of that while jake is gone. I'm doing a great job, I'm being a great wife, and I'm being the best mother possible. I CAN DO THIS. I'm a seabee wife, and we can do too!! Hehe
