I know it's time....

I know I have to go out and have a life but I'm regretting my decision to go out to a celebratory dinner tonight. (my BFF just got engaged and I just got a new job).  I have never left DD around bedtime and I am so worried she is going to freak out =(  I have a good friend watching her so I know she is in great hands but still.  I know this is a good thing for me to do.  I have not been out with firiends without DD ever. I can't stop worrying and being sad I'll miss the bedtime snuggles.

I know how you feel.  We have not left DD with a sitter or family member ever.  SHe is always with me and daddy and I know its time for us to have Grandma and Grandpa watch her, but I am just not completely ready. uhg.

We are in the same boat.  C is at daycare all day during the week and heads down to bed around 7:30, so we get an hour to an hour and a half with her every night.  As much as grandparents want to watch her, I feel like the time I get with her is so precious and I can't bring myself to leave her yet.  Go out and enjoy yourself - I'm sure you'll have a great time!!  Also, congrats on the new job!

I left mine just the other weekend. It was the first time i had left him for bedtime. I still nurse him to sleep and was so worried. My mom came and kept him at our house so everything was as normal as could be. I made an 8 ounce bottle cause i have no idea how much he would drink. The first night he drank all of it and the next night he only drank 6 ounces.

But bottom line he took to it with out any problems. he went to sleep easy and stayed asleep like normal.  I also had my mom call when she got him down and said to call me if he didn't go down and i would drive home real quick.

GOOD LUCK and enjoy yourself
