Babymoon 2.0

My LO is 12 weeks old now, but demandingg most of my attention still is DS, who will be 3 in October. My husband offered to take DS to visit family for a weekend and leave me at home with the baby. With my first son, more time alone with the baby (like for my DH to play golf on the weekend) was totally overwhelming, and really put on a strain on the situation. THIS time, I thought that a weekend alone with just me and the babe sounded awesome. AND IT WAS! Granted, I houses at for my parents at the beach during said weekend, but it was so glorious to have that bonding time with LO without the constant intrusion of my DS's demands, interrupting LO's nap for some scheduled activity, and not stressing if he woke up during the night knowing that all I had to do the next day was to take care of him. I will concede that this baby has been much lower maintenance, but I'm sure some of it is just the attitude and experience of being a second time mom. So, for any of you STM (or 3rd, etc.) who have a hubby or family willing to take your older kids for a weekend away so that you can just bond and relish thensquishiness of our babies while they are still so little, do it! We spent all day snuggling, nursing, and napping together. It was glorious. It would have been hard to imagine with my first, but a weekend with a newborn to myself was just the restorative treat I needed. Good luck to all my fellow mommies fighting the good fight!
