Mommy is going on vacation

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Good morning all. I am lucky enough to be going to the Bahamas with one of my girl friends. She won the trip and is taking me as her guest so how can I resist? I am a SAHM and have only been apart from my daughter for shopping trips alone or dinner with my husband. The trip is just Wednesday to Sunday. My husband will be staying home with our DD and his sister is coming to stay with him to give a helping hand. I am trying not to worry too much about leaving her but of course I am going to be beside myself. I know this is a trip of a lifetime for me and me and her both need the separation, I guess. I am making myself sick the thought of leaving her. Is she going to forget me? Is she going to be miserable for her father while I am away. In tears just writing this post. Am I a bad mom for leaving her? Some reassurance please :'/

    Go and have a fabulous time! She won't forget you, she might cry at first for your husband but will adapt and be just fine! You're not a bad mom. You need a break sometimes and like you said it's a trip of a lifetime! 

    If it makes you feel better DH and I just got back from a weekend trip for my birthday and dd stayed with my parents for the weekend. They love having her stay and we had a great vacation! So enjoy yourself and call when you miss her! It'll all work out! GL

    Have an AMAZING time! It will be good for her and good for daddy to spend time together and figure things out together. She will be thrilled to have you home and you will be thrilled to have her back in your arms. You are a GREAT mommy who needs time to do fun things for herself to regroup and energize!!
    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

    No, she isn't going to forget you. If you're worried about it, try to have DH take over more of the responsibilities between now and then, esp feeding LO and putting them to bed...just stay in the other room and observe and that way your absence won't be quite as big a shock for either one of them. Go, have a good time, and try not to worry too much - they'll be ok while you're gone.

    Thanks ladies. It does help and make me feel better that I am not going to be judged for going away and having a good time without her. I know I need this time for myself and my own well being. That is a great idea to have DH take over things I normally would. Thanks so much for your encouragement. Glad I posted :)

    I'm a sahm and would kill for a vacation sans baby! She will not forget you, she'll be happy and fine with Daddy. It will be good for them to bond. She'll probably be fussy for him sometimes, but I'm sure she's fussy for you too occasionally. If you have access to FaceTime or Skype you could do that a few times. But she'll be fine and you'll come home refreshed!

    You do both need the separation! It's good for her to have to rely on someone else for a few days. I think you should prepare yourself because the first day she's with YH and you aren't around she *might* cry a lot but she'll survive! She'll remember and love you just as much when you get home! 

    I just started thinking about pumping milk so I can maybe plan a weekend for me and DH which means I'd be leaving her with her nanny for a whole weekend!
