BIG weekend for me!

Tomorrow is H's birthday and we haven't left DS overnight yet . I have a very serious attachment to him. I always have but after my loss in January it has only gotten way stronger, I find myself being super protective. Well tomorrow night H and I are going to dinner then out for drinks, DS is staying over at my in-laws! I am a lucky one and love my in-laws a ton! I am still nervous as hell! I need to do this, I know he is over 1 now but, why it is still so hard for me? I have a bachelorette weekend coming up and the attahced wedding that are both overnight-ers so I figure this should be a good trial run.

I think this will be good for H and I's relationship as well. We will get some adult time together. We're also going to meet up with some friends for drinks afterwards which should be good for us too since we have neglected that part of our lives. Thank God we have good friends!

Anyhow pray for me this weekend that I am not balling my eyes out over a glass of wine tomorrow night!

I think the thought of doing is alot harder then when you actually leave him. That whole out of sight out of mind thing seems to work for me. Enjoy your night out! Treat yourself to a fun cocktail! And wine fixes everything (at least for me!!).

Good Luck! We are also leaving Jackson for the first time this weekend also. I'm extremely nervous. I attempted to let him spend the night at MIL's house in January and I was so upset that I cried for 2 hours after we left that DH went and picked him up. I just wasn't ready. He wasn't STTN and we were still nursing. However, he's now STTN and we are done nursing. I'm still nervous for this weekend, however I keep telling myself that it's daylight savings so we lose an hour of sleep, MIL gets to handle it. Not me or DH. She's great w/Jackson so I completely trust her. She watches him every Monday. So I know if he wakes up early, she'll be good to go.

It's hard to leave but once you do you will have so much fun and you will love and appreciate your baby that much more. Enjoy the alone time with your DH!

The first time is the hardest, IMO. Try to enjoy your alone time with you DH, you deserve it!!

I've not left Ian overnight yet either!  I'm not quite ready...but I can't imagine doing it after being in your situation.  Y'all have a good time and try to enjoy yourself.  HUGS!

I haven't left DS either, but I would love a night away. I would just feel guilty because if DS woke up in the middle of the night all hell would break out since he still comfort nurses if and when he does wake up. Enjoy it!

Same here.  He has started STTN the last month, but I worry the one time I wasn't home he would need me and would need to nurse back to sleep! We clearly haven't left him yet.

 Enjoy your time with your H! It will be fine and a great trial run like you said .

Good luck!  We would love to do this, but don't have anyone who has offered to do the whole night.  I hope you enjoy yourselves!
