So pleaaaaaase get me to stop being such a worry wart.
Why oh why must Mothers (or this Mama) worry so much at times? I love being a Mommy SO much, it's one of theeee best things to ever happen to me, as I am sure you can relate, but dang- sometimes things are sooo hard for me! You're all going to prolly think I am crazy but we don't leave Eli very often at all because we love to take him with us all the time. He is such a good lil boy and so much fun- we can't resist! Well Noah and I know it is very important for us to get our "us" time as well. Every night after Eli goes to bed we hang out as "us" time whether that is watching TV and talking, or laying beside each other in bed, or even cleaning up... we make sure we do this! The times we have left Eli have been a little before he goes to bed... which is still hard on me ha! On Valetine's Day Noah's parents are going to watch Eli just while we go out to dinner the 2 of us- and I am already a nervous wreck about it. I'm going to be the exact same with all of my kids... I just know it. I hear this is common from my dearest friend
Laura, who I love tons and is a great friend and Mommy... but it's still so hard for me. What a baby I feel like ahhhh... all you future Mama's that have gone through this- what are some suggestions? I know it will be so much fun with Noah, don't get me wrong... but why is it seriouly ever so hard for me to leave my lil Eli, as well as it will be with lil peanut here too! Pregnancy hormones kicking in? Maybe a lil.. either way- it's sooooo hard for me and I don't want our night to be ruined.
I guess this will alssssso get me geared up for our first time having Eli stay all night with my parents next Sat Feb 20th. Noah and I are going to this thing in Peoria with our awesome friends Andy and Melinda and then stayin in a hotel all night too. It will be so much fun- but once again... I'm a nervous wreck to leave my lil man- FOR THE NIGHT! Like seriously... quote me on this- I could cry right now I let it get to me so bad. I guesssss I just want him to still want to come home with us when we get back, and it's all the fact for how much I loooove him... and not only that I know I am a worry wart and worrying beyound what I should... right? Or... suggestions? thoughts? Please and thanks :]
On a good note- this smiling face is wonderful to see all the time! And now Eli will rub his lil hand on my belly when I ask "where is the baby?" melts.my.heart:] He's just so wonderful!

Don't worry so much! It will be fine. Eli will be so excited to see you when you go back to pick him up. I worried about this big time both times we left the girls to spend the night with a set of grandparents for the first time.
I said to Jarrett as a blubbering mess "will she remember who I am?" Now I look back & think, it was a good experience for both of us. You get time away to focus on just the 2 of you. And the grandparents get the time to spoil him rotten all night long.
Now I feel like, if you want to watch my kids - go ahead! They are always so happy to see us when we go to pick them up. They will be in good hands, honestly who else would take better care of your child than you do? Their grandparents!
Don't let this get to you. You will make yourself crazy. And I have a feeling maybe some crazy pregnancy hormones may be playing a slight role in this...just a little!

Oh Jess everything will be just fine. I went through the same thing with Rylan I never ever ever wanted to leave her, and I called several hundered times so have that phone with you! Also you will be amazed at how exctied he will get to see your face after being gone. It will be just fine and your not crazy all Mommy's go through this, so say a little prayer and all will be good. Know that I have been there and done that. You are a great Mommy and enjoy time with Noah.
