How to handle/process a deployment??

Tiffany • proud momma to Taylor Mason💙

My husband just found out he's an alternate for his squadrons deployment after the baby. I'm so sad. But happy for him because he's still really new and before they said he had no chance of going. So it means he has proved himself. But I just don't know how I'm going to handle having a newborn and not having someone to help me. But since he's an alternate they have up until the plane leaves to tell him if he is really going.
