I've had a tough week, and now have a headache. My wonderful dh has taken ds, 3 mths, to tesco to do the weekly shop to give me som space. I'm in a warm bath, with glass of wine and mumsnet. should be v happy. But oooohhhh I miss the baby, and i just read a couple of posts on miscarriage and feel all weepy and have irrational fear dh and ds are in a crash, or just that ds is screaming blue murder for milk and i wont be there to give it to him... :0(

Sounds like a lethal combination - wine, warm bath and er.... electrical technology!

Know what you mean though!

Monkeybird · 14/03/2008 20:36

awww, we've all been there. Take big sip of wine, look up Dumbo clip on 'blubbing' thread, have a good blub, have more wine and then you'll feel better cos they'll be back and you can sniff your baby...

Trust me, it will get easier to leave em behind for a short while

Yeah, and HTF do you MN while in the bath? What kind of alien waterproof laptop do you have then?

NorthernLurker · 14/03/2008 20:39

sushi - get out of the bath or put the laptop down - no good will come of mixing the two! The wine is fine though They are fine - it's you that needs the break

now that's what I call commitment.. Nevermind electrocution, if your laptop's knackered, how will you get back on here?!

NorthernLurker · 14/03/2008 20:44

pull yourself together woman! They're just off doing some male bonding stuff - believe me - your dh will be home quick enough when ds needs something he can't supply/understand!

Perfectly normal to feel like that.

brazilnutsyum · 14/03/2008 22:16

Ahh what a wonderful feeling.

When your DS is 3 and still drawing on walls/bouncing his way round the living-room via the sofas/saying 'muuuuuummmmmy will you get me a biscuit for the 50th time that day - you will maybe long for that nose tingling, mushy stomach feeling .

Ah, I remember the feeling. I went on a 4 day work trip abroad when dd was 5 months and I had the weirdest experience in the airport. This woman came into the lounge who really looked like me, it's the only time I've ever seen anyone who could have been mistaken for me and she had her baby with her. It was a totally unreal moment. I sobbed like mad in the airport loo.

By the time ds was born I had calmed down considerably. His Dad had to take him away when he was a couple of weeks old because we though FIL was dying and wanted him to see his grandchild before he went; so dh just grabbed some of those longlife baby bottles from the chemist and shot off on the train (a 5 hour journey) and they were gone for 2 days. Afraid I found it quite restful...

And now I'd gladly pay somebody to take the little whingers off my hands for the afternoon. In fact, we are farming them out tomorrow and going off to Northamptonshire on our own for the day- bliss!
