I have yet to spend a night away from Abby ... this weekend I will be spending three away from her.
We have just come out of a nursing strike, which makes me nervous, but at least we aren't still in the throes of a nursing strike.
I will need plenty of encouragement Thursday through Sunday!
Re: Speaking of plans for the week, I will need support
Yes, but he also has a road trip for work.
So she will spend one night at home with DH, one night at his brother's, then the third night at home (my parents are picking her up and taking her to our house until DH gets home).
Sigh.
The hardest part will be leaving on Thursday. The tears will be flowing.
I'll have to get Starbucks to console myself ...
Starbucks should help, lol. I have left DD for one night and it was hard. Although I was so busy while I was gone that I missed her, but hardly had time to realize it, if that makes sense. GL to you! Just think how happy you'll be when you get home. One of my good friends (a Mom of 2) told me, "Just know that you miss her more than she misses you." I guess it is true but doesn't make it any easier.
I think once I get there, I should be good. Because then it will just be a countdown of when I get to come home and see her.
It's the leaving part that I'm not looking forward to ...
I totally understand, I still feel like I have to double check everything and over-inform my Mom when I drop DD off to her when I work. So I can imagine what you'll feel this week. At least your DH will be with her some too! Good luck
