Hello
I have a baby girl who is 10.5 months old. Tomorrow, my mum is looking after her while me and my partner stay in a hotel. I am looking forward to quality time with dp but I keep thinking of baby not settling, sleeping or something happening.
My mum has looked after her probably around 6/7 times. For when I have done keeping in touch days, hairdressers, spa day once with friend etc. All during week when dp working and these activities, work, appointments are in the same city as my mum (my mum is an hr away, same city as my work and friends and she works twice per week and is thrilled to look after dd) But overnight feels different.
Dp got us this hotel voucher for Christmas. It was valid from 1st January until end April. I was adamant to wait until near the voucher end date to use it up but now I think that is a mistake as baby is crawling (trying to stand) and doesnt sleep through the night anymore. I know dp has done a nice thing but I have been getting angry at him for booking this hotel voucher.. I know its something nice but I just feel annoyed that theres this pressure! The hotel is lovely and we have been a few times so it is special to us (and where I think DD was conceived judging by dates!).
Anyway, have u had any overnights away from baby? How did it go and how did u feel?
Thank you
