Leaving LO tomorrow...Anxiety!

I'm about to have a panic attack! My sister keeps Ian on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She's 21 weeks pregnant, and really not feeling good...contracting way than she should be. She's at home resting today hoping she'll feel better. If not, she's calling her dr tomorrow. I told her either way, she's not keeping Ian tomorrow, keeping LJ in and cooking is more important than her keeping Ian. She's upset because she feels like she's letting me down...which is NOT an issue at all! I'd much rather me have to find someone,than to risk anything with the baby.
So, here comes the panic attack! I've never left Ian with anyone that's not family...my mom or sisters, or his daddy or the rare occasion. I know the girl that lives across the street from us. I went to school with her. Have hung out with her on a rare occasion since high school. She has a son, and keeps her niece and nephews. All in all I trust her! I've talked to her and she's going to keep Ian. My panic is that I've not left Ian with ANYONE. We are going to go over tonight to 'meet' her so I can see his reaction to her...which I'm sure he's going to love her, she's 'fluffy' and a brunette. 2 qualities he loves, lol! BUT, omg, I've never left my baby with someone that's not family!!!
Oh geez, I sound like a lunatic mommy and feel like I'm going back to the first day I went back to work! And this is probably a good thing....that he's having to stay with someone else, because come April I'm going to have to do something with him for 2 days a week for at least 6wks.
Ok, thanks for letting me vent. It's all a minor problem, I know. My heart is just pounding thinking about leaving him!

Re: Leaving LO tomorrow...Anxiety!
I'm sorry to read about your Sister. I hope that baby stays put and bakes!
My wish for you is that tomorrow flies by. She'll be fine.
Stay in baby, stay in! I know how you feel about leaving LO with someone new. I had to leave Abby with a friend of mine for a day when MIL was out of town and my mom wasn't available. It will be okay. He will do great!!! And so will you!
So, my sister was ok today as long as she stayed laying down! So, she's going to be calling her dr first thing in the morning. I'm sure everything is going to be fine but LJ needs to cook some more, lol.
I took Ian over to meet the girl tonight, who will be keeping him tomorrow. It's a good thing my little man is a social butterfly. He acted a little bit shy for a second, but then went right to her. So, I'm sure he's going to be fine. I'm still nervous though...it seriously feels like my first day back to work. It's all going to work out, I know it will. I'm scared for my sister but hoping for the best. She was so sweet tonight, she was worried about Ian. I told her that Ian is mine to worry about and it will all be ok...she just needs to worry about keeping LJ in there for lots longer!
