Mozhe IS NOT going back to work next week after all......

[mozhe]

.....no, have decided to delay it by a week or so......Mr Mozhe is on 'incubator watching' duties....P-in-L's are manning the home front,( and DSsX3...), with nice new aupair....and Mozhe,Nanny and DTs are off to St Barts,( in lovely Carribean...),for a week's sun/swim/chill out !!
Any one been before ? Any pointers ? Off first thing tomorrow......

Enjoy your break, Mozhe. Don't know how you can leave your new LO, though (although I know he's in safe hands and everything.) How is he, by the way?

How the other half lives!

Never been to that partic. corner of the Carribean, but hope you have a fab time.

(ps, don't let anyone try to make you feel guilty about leaving little Mozhe. Unless you've done the sitting in SCBU for weeks on end, you don't know how utterly draining it is.)

Enjoy your break with the DTs - you have earnt it!

Just one tip

take me with you

Oh enjoy your chill out time, you deserve it xxxx

Well sounds as if you will enjoy yourself but I don't know how anyone could go away leaving a newborn baby in SCBU.

Any room in your suitcase for me?!

It takes all sorts...

Mozhe - I hope you have a wonderful break - you deserve it and quite right that you get some time away.

have a great time.

just dont get it. Glad you LO is doing ok and that you are well but just dont get your choices. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Whilst I don't understand it either, Mozhe does have several other children who can't be forgotten. It will be wonderful for the DTs to spend a bit of time with their mum, whom they presumably haven't seen much of recently. Enjoy, I say.

How are you going to express milk for him while you are away? I couldn't do it I really couldn't.

erm sounds lovely but have you looked at dvt risks, i may be wrong but I thing the risk is greatly increased in you have recently had a baby

have sat in ICU and still don't get it...

enjoy, anyway

Is this your way of saying "SHOULD I DO THIS?"

Don't do it

I don't get it, have you found a wet nurse too?

Mr Mozhe is taking over, so DS willl not being abandoned....DT2 is my human breast pump.....there is a supply of EBM left for Tristan...he consumes tiny amounts..if he gets through that lot he can pick me up from airport
He sleeps A LOT.....feel Mr Mozhe,( + laptop no doubt..),can watch him for the moment.
I need a holiday.

DS2 was in nicu for just a few days and that was pants. However, I couldn't leave him for more than a few minutes and certainly couldn't travel thousands of miles away for a holiday whilst he was in there.

Different strokes and all that.

Ho hum.

am going to leave this thread as have decided that my views are very different and really dont want to upset anyone. Especially when you have a newborn in special care.

Of course you need a holiday

but you also need to be physically near your baby for your own mental health

you must know this woman!

have you made this decision so I just just STFU?
