Parenting after a Loss

Nervous

So Dh is going to see his Dad who was in a bad car accident tomorrow.  My brother & SIL are coming for the weekend anyway so they have said they will help me with the babies that way my Mom/Dad won't have to drive in.  I am so nervous that when 3am hits they will not be up to helping and I will be flying solo. 

I am also worried about our routine we do the same thing each and every single night and now it is going to be different.  John always feeds Kate before bed and I feed Ben now it is will different.  I need them to sleep!  They both did awesome last night so I am hoping they will have pity on me and sleep for me. 

I just hate when dh goes out of town normally and now with Ben & Kate it just makes it so much worse.  He really does so much with them after work and I am so thankful to have him. 

Please tell me it will be ok and Ben & Kate (mainly) will behave at night.

  • They will be great.  Mr. Seminole is gone a lot  and abby seems to "know" and is better for me.  I know it's different with twins but I know you'll do great!

  • are they too young to be bribed? probably, huh? i'm hoping they both give you nothing but smiles, laughter and sleep while your dh is away.

    Should I try Swedish Fish?

  • It will be ok, they will sleep great. :)  My dh is a really big help with the kids after work, too, and every time he has to travel or even be gone for the evening I have a bit of dread in the pit of my stomach.  Then I do it, and usually find that it's kind of (don't take this the wrong way), but nice.  I still miss my dh, and it's still maybe harder in some ways, but it's also usually fun to have a break from our routine and we get some nice moments we wouldn't have otherwise had.
  • I know they will do great! If not, I think bribing them with Swedish fish sounds like a plan.  GL!
  • Praying things work out fine for you! Hugs!
