Freaking Out!

Well, its here, its finally here. I have to leave my babies for the first time over night. Two nights and three days to be exact! My girlfriend is getting married in New Orleans and she asked me to be a bride’s maid. I said she really didn’t have to ask me and that I knew she loved me but she said flat out that I was one and she expected me there. :huh: I know I need a break and this will be good for me, but I don’t want to leave them. We can’t all go for, numerous reasons, so I’m flying solo on this one. I’m sure they will be fine with DH but it scares the crap out of me. He doesn’t have the patience I have and they are teething so badly right now. Well, I wake up tomorrow and go so I guess I just have to hope for the best and try to have a good time. <_<

 

Well have a good time and don't miss your babies to much! I'm sure your dh will be fine with them. It will be good for you to get a break. Congrats to your friend!

 

:hug99: I hope you go and have a great time. DH will be fine, and I'm sure he'll be very glad to see you when you get home!

 

Oh, I totally understand, but it'll be so much fun, too! Just go and enjoy yourself, these opportunites will be so few!!! And DH will have a new experience too, it'll be good for him.

 

:hug99: He'll do fine, and I bet he'll have a lot more respect for you when you get home! Enjoy that wedding and your well deserved break!

 

Try and have a wonderful time--Just think about how wonderful it will feel for you to come home

 

I understand completely....we have not left the boys overnight yet. I have a hard enough time for a few hours here and there. In fact, yesterday was the first day I was by myself...no babies, DH, work....NOTHING!!! I had to stay home because I had been SOOOOO sick with a stomach flu or something and DH on the way to work took the babies to my moms like a normal day so I could recoup for the night of YUCK. It was surreal to be away from them but, I knew they were okay.

I know it is not the same as leaving town for a few days and nights but, in the end they are with people you can trust and they will be so happy to see you when you come home.

 

:hug99: Have a good time, and try not to worry too much. :hug99:

 

Oh wow!! I wish you all the best.. My Dh gets so mad at me b/c I wont leave the girls for more then a few hours. Our wedding anniversary is later this month and he wants me to go away and stay the weekend and leave the girls with my mom, but I just cant do it. I trust my mom and I know they will be in good hands but I just cant leave them, they are only 1!!!

 

I hear ya on the leaving them alone with DH ... I'm going to Vegas in May for my friend's wedding as well for 4 days/nights and he will be all alone with them ... he hasn't been alone with them for more than a few hours, he always sleeps through their cries (even if the monitor is up to high, I wake up and he just keeps on sleepin, he really doesn't hear them!) , and other things ... but he needs that time with them and nothing he will do will kill them. Maybe he'll have a little more respect for me when I get back! I'm hesitant on leaving them as well, but I need to go.

What I'm not hesitant on is my parents watching them for an afternoon or overnight, I love it when they take the boys for awhile, it gives me a breather during the day AND it gives me and my honey some much needed alone time or "date night" time. THey are in fully capable hands with my parents and they love spending the time with the boys.

 

:hug99: Hope you can take this time to enjoy yourself, I know you'll miss them alot. Dh's sometimes surprise us, and he will do just fine! Just wait until the little ones see you, their faces will light up! ENJOY!! :hug99:

 

Don't freak out. I am also one of those moms who can be sort of over-protective, and I think that only I can take care of them. The truth is only I can take care of them to MY standards, which doesn't mean the same thing. Remember that it is actually good that other people interact with them and you need to take a break so that you can return refreshed and rested. New Orleans is a blast. I used to live there many years ago. Have a great time and have a Hurricane for me ( the drink- not Katrina, bad joke..)
