Night away

Has anyone spent a night away from your LO yet? My work is sending my overnight to CT for a corporate meeting next week and I am freaking out a bit. I know nothing will happen while I am gone but any suggestions on how to get over it? Positive stories would help too!

    I'm the maid of honor in a wedding in March and I have to host the bachelorette party next weekend.  It's an hour away so we're getting a room....but I am so afraid of leaving DD!  She is EBF so of course I worry that I won't have enough food for her.  Plus, DH has never gotten up with her in the middle of the night and he seems to sleep through her crying.  She still wakes twice to eat.  

    Anyone have some good stories before I panic over here?

    Several. I had surgery, and my mom takes them now and again so we can get a break.

    LO will be fine. And you will feel recharged. Food, sleep, a break. It's good for you.

    ITA. A break is good and IMO necessary. Your LO will be fine. When DD was 8 months I went away for a long weekend to watch my bro graduate. I missed her of course but she was home with DH so I knew she was fine. It's important to have time for you.

    I had to do 4 nights in Dec. for work.  DH and I stayed in a hotel last Saturday night, leaving Nolan with his nanny at our house, so we could have a night away.  I will have to travel for 2 nights in March.

    DH (and our nanny) are more than capable of taking care of DS so I try to acknowledge missing him while looking forward to a little extra "me" time while I'm away.

    My first will be this Friday and Saturday.  Of course I went through it with the girls and they survived. :)

    I am goign to give DH a list of when/what DS eats, and what his night/nap schedule is.  While DH is around and sees DS eating and sleeping, I don't think he ever puts much thought into when things are happening.  This will help him narrow down what the issue is if DS is crying and DH can't get him to stop.  Other than that, they can figure it out. 

    DH and I married 8 years. Mom of three, stepmom of one.

    I travel overnight for work pretty regularly (maybe 10 nights since I've been back at work for a little over two months).  It helps that DD is a great sleeper, but DH has done fine with her on his own.  I mean, she may be happier when we are both there, but I certainly trust him to keep her safe and healthy!  I think it's important for him, too, to know that he's fine on his own.  It makes it easier for me to go out with friends sometimes and that sort of thing.
