first night "alone"

DH goes back to work tomorrow.  He's been on vacation the last 2 weeks and has been a total life saver.  So he has to wake up at 5am, and I was kind enough to tell him not to worry about anything tonight.  I'll handle it, so he can get some sleep. 

Now I'm nervous.  I'm so used to having that second hand available. 

And with him going to work tomorrow...I mean, I know it's only for 8 hours, but for the first 2 weeks of Jake's life, I've had DH with me 24/7. 

I know it's going to be ok, and I know the number to 9-1-1 *hehe*, but it's a little nerve racking. 

I'm just over reacting and thinking into it too much.  I have no idea how single parents do this though. 

Anywho....Jake's next to me all propped up on the boppy pillow.  We've been watching the Charlie Sheen program on TLC and now we're on to Sister Wives.

  • You will do just fine.  I've been doing it alone for a whole week because boyfriend had to go back to work right away... It sucked.  But, you can handle it.

  • My husband goes back to work tomorrow too.  I,ve already had 2 tear episodes cause I'm scared.   Didn't help I had to formula supplement last night cause she was more hungry than my supply.

  • I could have written your post except DH still got up to change DS's diaper 2x. DH did half days last week and worked from home. This week is back full time. I miss him today :( and feel a little lost. We'll be fine, though. I feel sadder for DH. LO and I are just chillin and he has to work. booooo!!
  • Yea, I am so nervous about DH going back to work.  I've asked my mom to come over during the first couple of days.  He goes back next Thursday and I'm already dreading it!

  • Well I'm alive to tell about it!  It went really well.  *knock on wood*  Granted we were up until 2:00 wide awake, but that was ok, because I couldn't sleep either.  He did so well and slept solid inbetween each feeding.  My mom came down this morning to let me sleep another couple hours and get a shower. 

    I hope DH was able to get through work today after being on vacation!  Poor guy!
