OMG!!! They just cancelled again because one of the girls has a stomachache. I mean, obviously, I don't want them here if one is sick, but poor DS1 was really excited... again. I didn't even tell him until this morning. Ugh! I shouldn't have told him. I could've planned to take him to the Lego Batman movie.

When you finally get fussy baby to latch, only to sneeze. 🙄🙄🙄
Thankfully I'm getting a break later to see Fifty Shades Darker. I looooove terrible movies. I laughed hysterically through the first one, so I hope the second doesn't disappoint.
lola right? They've always stuck to plans before. I guess just bad luck? I'm equally as frustrated because DS was excited and I never do this to people! It really pisses me off when others do it. Today is understandable, but in general.

Popping in to ask - has everyone been away from their newest LO yet? When did you do it?
I haven't left him with DH/anyone yet and I'm wondering if it would be best for me to try and take a trip to the store/Starbucks soon? I'm going back to work part time April 1st.
I just struggle even imagining leaving him right now.
I've run to the store alone or fast errands. I also had that overnight er stay but that wasn't really wanted. Little breaks are good for your sanity I think.

At 7 wks the most I'd do is go out to the store alone & leave him with dh. My Alex is now 12 weeks and this past thurs was the first time I left him for an extended period of time...a whole 6 hrs. I had to return to work. I get the hesitation. I worried he wouldn't want the bottle or have enough milk or be able to nap. But it'll be fine. Baby, & dh or whoever, figure out how to deal.

Baby has had a hard time staying asleep. Falls asleep easily only to wake up in 10 min. He's finally put himself to sleep in the swing. I hope it's a long nap.
I made the pistachio pecan bread. Well walnuts this time. I forgot my friend invited us to her daughters' bday breakfast today. Feel terrible. We're stopping by later. But now I feel like I shouldn't take the bread since she'll have cake. And I have 2 loaves. I can't keep it here tho, I'll eat too much!

Breaks from the babies is what kept me sane on maternity leave. I went for a pedicure when they were 2 or 3 weeks old, but was back can for the next feeding. Just start small!He will be fine with your husband.
Although I go back to work this week and I can't fathom how I'll be away from them for 10 hours per day. Cue the tears.
Thanks everyone! I have quite a bit of PPA so that's why I'm hesitant to leave him. It really freaks me out to think about going back to work. I don't want to leave him, not even for an hour. But I'm going to try and venture out today or sometime this week and see how I do.
With DS1, I didn't even want to leave him in the house for an hour to go lay down and rest while family was here. It does get easier! Did you end up getting out today? Try small periods at a time. We're here for you!
This is #3 and I'm already worried about leaving him most of the day for a wedding in 2 months. Although we left DS1 with a friend at 6 weeks while we went to Zac Brown. It still wasn't as long as it'll be for the wedding and I wasn't breastfeeding.

I feel like a bad mom bc we are going out next weekend and the sitter will probably have to put both boys to bed. I haven't even had to do that yet! 🙊 I didn't let anyone put M to bed except my mom until he was nearly a year old, and I can count on one hand how many times that's happened. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought these tickets, but we won't be out too late bc I'll have to pump. Ahhh.
Hey, you might enjoy having someone else put them both to bed and book another night out. Lol. I've had the sitter put them both to bed just under a handful of times. Probably not happening with 3.... well, when we have the wedding in April... and another one in July. But that'll probably be a committee of adult friends baby-sitting. For whatever reason, mine go to bed for the sitter with zero problems.

W Start small! My first time away, I went to Starbucks and Target. And I cried in Target. It's okay to be anxious! I've only left her with my husband or my mom, and I've had to ease my way into it. She's had four bottles ever in ten weeks. I'm sure that's a little crazy, but it's what made me comfortable. Give yourself a break, but also do what makes you feel okay.
requiressnacks @kc295905 It was as silly as expected. I LOL'd a lot. I've read the books, and it did a good job of following them. And I actually think Dakota is a good actress and plays funny/awkward really well.

lola, I'll definitely go see it! I read the books too.....there was a lot of LOL, but I kind of enjoyed it.
We have our first day of daycare on Tuesday and since we have many hours with no babies I might just make MH go with me to keep my mind off of it. 😂😂 (it's our "trial" run day)

No shame! I totally enjoyed the books. I like to know what all the fuss is about, and they're fun and mindless. Great way to spend your trial daycare day. 😁

W, I left Hazel today for 1 1/2 hours while I had a meeting, I was so freaking glad to get home to her.
I struggle leaving my kids, all of them. I had pretty bad PPA after Mady and I don't think my leaving them anxiety has ever gone away. The most I've ever spent away from them was 2 nights when I gave birth to Hazel and even then they came to visit during the day. And my big girls are 7.5 and 5.5. My family thinks I'm BSC.
@cahistoryteacher which car seat do you have? We have the Keyfit 30 and I thought I needed to move the straps up, but the next-highest slot was still above DD's shoulders. What made her more comfortable was taking out the bottom part of the infant insert (we left the headrest in).
emilie graco-35 something. The straps are in the right place I guess, but she seems so slouched down. We go to the pediatrician in a week and I'll just ask her what she thinks. I have several tall-baby questions to ask.
crimpgirl , that's so crazy! I had no idea placenta testing was even a thing.
Me either! I guess it's not commonly done, but the OB wanted to check it just in case we had more kids
crimpgirl I had my placenta tested, too, due to unexpected bleeding issues during pregnancy and delivery. I got a pathology report and pictures of my placenta and everything.

I feel like we have a lot in common! I have a history of anxiety so I think my family knows it's going to be rough on me no matter what.
Anxiety is awful. No one understands unless they have it too. It's easy for everyone else to say "go out for a night with your H, you'll have fun when you're there" but just the thought of that sends me into a spiral. I picture is dying out on the way to our date and the girls not having parents, I convince myself something will happen to one of the girls and I wouldn't be there. I hate it, but I also can't help it.
