Most likely you are not.
Now, you might want to rethink trying to get pregnant now.
While I understand what you both are feeling, both of my sons have been to Iraq and back, being deployed is very hard on a couple.
With you being pregnant and him being away makes the pregnancy that much harder. He won't be able to be there for doctors visits or ultrasounds, he most likely won't be able to be there for the birth.
You won't have him for support while you are pregnant. You won't be able to share the joy of the birth if he is away and you are without him.
Why not wait until he gets back? I understand your feelings of "he wants us to have one in case something happens," but are you prepared to be a single mother? Do you realize how hard it would be for you should you lose him and have to look at a child that looks just like him?
I think you both have your hearts in the right place, I just think your timing is wrong.
How do I know this? Because my granddaughter was born while my son was in Iraq. It was so hard on my DIL having him gone while she was pregnant, and his heart broke when his daughter was delivered and he was half way around the world.
