Going out tonight sans LO

kellibelli04 · April 2011

Tonight will be our first night out together since DD was born. I'm excited- we're going to a ball thrown by the British embassy- but I'm also nervous. Our nanny is staying with her- I know everything will be fine. But I kind of just want to stay home with her I never expected to feel this- I thought it was kind of a myth. Like, why would I want to stay home and watch this little person who doesn't really do anything rather than go out and drink and hang out with adults... but as I'm typing this and she's grinning in her sleep... it just makes me want to stay with her!!!

I won't- I'm going. I already bought a dress and paid a butt-load for the tickets but I'm going to miss this little girl!!

It's good to get out for a bit and miss them...then come home and snuggle her close! Have fun at your fancy party Mama! It sounds very cool!

have fun!! it sounds exciting :-) didn't you post earlier about finding a dress for this event? maybe i am just making that up in my sleep deprived brain.

DH is out tonight, and I went and ran errands this afternoon- so we both left the house without LO ... next weekend we miight try leaving her at home with BIL so we can go out together.

i hope you have fun .... and have fun watching/kissing/cudding your cute LO when you get home!

I went with DH to Charlotte, NC last weekend while my mom watched Landon. I did miss him, but man it was good to get some sleep! Granted, I still woke up every few hours (hormones, I guess?), but I fell right back asleep.

It felt good to come home somewhat rested, and I felt like I better mom afterwards.

Balls are so much fun!! I'm jealous - it's one part of the Marine Corps I really miss and I'm sure the ball your going to will blow theirs out of the water! I don't think you're silly for feeling uncomfortable leaving, I can't imagine leaving... I even get nervous thinking about staying at my parents house over Easter weekend. As if the hour drive (with LO) is going to be tramatic or something ... I'm nutso
