I put DD to bed at 830pm. I heard her crying about 20mins ago, so I go in her and DS's room to check on her. Well she is in there sobbing quietly. I ask her whats wrong. She starts to tell me that she's upset because I'm going to the hospital and she won't be able to see me and her new sister. I started to cry.
I picked her and brought her out to the living where me and DH explain to her that she will be able to see us and that she gets to be with her grandparents while mommy and daddy are in the hospital. I told her that by the time she wakes up next tuesday, her new sister will be here and after she's done breakfast her and DS were going to come to the hospital and see us. She is fine and is now sleeping. She really loves her mommy and new sister.

May Siggy Challenge: TV mom
Awww! It does seem like such a scary time for kids. I remember my mom had a minor surgery when I was 6 or so. I stayed with my grandma and was terrified my mom would never come back.
I was the last child but I remember a children's book by Danielle Steel that dealt with this situation. I took it out of the children's library repeatedly when I was little.
