Navy Wives please help..

S
My husband is in the Navy. I'm only 14 weeks pregnant now. I'm due Sept. 8 and he leaves for a nine month deployment in early Nov. I'm moving to my mom's before he gets deployed so I'm not alone. I don't know how to make this easier on not just me but him. He is going to miss so many milestones and I know that is going to be hard. Not to mention me missing the man that I can't bear to even think of being separated from for that long. Any tips on how to keep things positive and to help cope with this? We will of course email and Skype but there is still that separation. I'm quite nervous about postpartum depression as well...
(This is our first deployment)
