My little girl is almost 3 years old, and this weekend will be the first time that we leave her overnight. Since we are having our baby boy in just 4 1/2 weeks, we figured it would be a good idea to test out how she does being left overnight (waking up without Mommy) before we head off to the hospital for 4 nights.
So, with a great discount from a great family relative, we are heading to Disney’s Swan for a night. We’ll check into the hotel, head off to dinner, get “the best seats in the house” at Cirque de Soleil, sleep in comfort and quiet, sleep in, enjoy a delicious breakfast in peace and quiet, and then come home to our lovely 2-year-old. It should be a very nice weekend. I just hope that she doesn’t freak out when I’m not there in the morning. She has never gone to bed and woken up to me not being here.
I’m doing my best to prepare her for it, but it’s hard, when you have no clue how she’s going to react. She could be fine, since she’ll have Grandma Cindy over. Or, she might be very upset.
Of course, I doubt this will help my worries about the birth. 1 night is one thing, but 4 nights is a completely different story. I won’t be coming home the next day. She’ll have to come see me in the hospital, with IVs, and in pain. Plus, when we do come home, we’ll be bringing home her baby brother. So far, she seems excited about it, but that could change pretty quickly when he is actually here.
I need to stop worrying. It is not helping my blood pressure. But, she’s my little girl. She will always be my baby girl, and I am always going to worry about her and her sensitive feelings. If people want to think I’m weird for not just running off happily to my fun weekend with my hubby and not thinking about how my baby girl is going to handle it, then they can think I’m weird!
