It's been roughly 12.5 months since Madeline was born. In that time, the most I've been away from her was for an evening out with friends or my husband from time to time. I'm a mom who is very careful, very protective, and very set-in-her-ways....just ask my husband. I can be a bit overbearing and maybe even a bit ridiculous, but, I'm Madeline's mom and that's my right. I will love her and protect her until the day I die....fortunately for me, my husband is very supportive and he truly is a great dad. I love watching them play together in the evenings, and even more, I love watching her face light up when she's see's him come through the door at the end of the work day. And of course, it's even more adorable when Jersey and Sophie give her all their kisses.
This weekend I am leaving the house from Friday to Sunday. It's the first weekend away. To some, this isn't a big deal, but to me, it is! I think I'm having regular panic attacks. Not because I'm worried that she's not in good care, but because I will miss her so much. She'll be fine, this I know.
We're traveling north, about 90 minutes outside of Taylor Falls, WI. My friend is opening up her family cabin to 4 of us for a mom's getaway. Our plan is nothing, except for 90 minute massages on Saturday afternoon. Good friends, food, cocktails, chick flicks and games. I'm really looking forward to this. But kisses to my baby and a big thanks to my husband!

Its totally understandable that you are a bit nervous. When you think about it, you haven't been away from her in nearly 2 years - the 9 months you carried her and the 12.5 months since her birth!! That's a long time!
**hugs**
You'll do fine. John will do fine. She'll be fine. You'll come back and love her up all the more!
