Q: I'm Scared

Ok today ryan and I are leaving at 3 to go to the dragstrip down by my house. Let me remind you that is two hours away from ryan's. Well im not bringing mackenzie since its gonna be loud and won't be good for her ears and since itll get cold at night. Monday I was crying my eyes out because I knew friday was coming so fast and I didnt want to leave her. Ryan finally convinced me to go and so we are going tonight. Im super scared to leave my baby here with her grandma. Its not that I dont trust her but I just dont know I guess its a mom thing? Lol. I feel bad leaving her since shes not even two weeks old yet. I know that she wont know that mom and dad are gone but ill know that we are gone..I wanna go out and have fun but we arent gonna be back til 1am! 3pm til 1am is a l.O.N.G. Time!! Im gonna go crazy not seeing my baby for that long. So im bringing her pictures with me...Am I a bad mother for leaving her this early and for so long? I feel like one and every time I think of it I got teary eyed. But I wanna go have fun..How is this gonna work? I cant have fun and be worried at the same time...What am I gonna do? Any suggestions, please id appreciate it. Im freaked out to leave her. Ryan doesnt seem to be bothered by it, its only me so im guessing its a mom thing..He tells me its gonna be ok but he doesnt know since ive been carrying her inside me for 9months and never had to leave her because she went everywhere with me(obviously since she was in my belly). And now im leaving..This is tough stuff...Please help

Aww heather, it will be ok. You are not a bad mom because you are going out to have a good time, you are a good mom for not dragging her along with you. You need to go out and have a good time! Enjoy yourself! This is one of the hard things... Leaving your baby for the first time. But it will be ok!

Yes it's deff normal and youre not a bad mommy. It actually shows how good of a mommy you are because youll miss her so much. And if you start to go out now, youll get more used to it and then it wont be so hard other times =) I like the idea of you bringing her pics and you can also call as many times as you'd like! =) good lucka nd have fun!

Dont worry hun! I cried my eyes out when I saw tim put danica in her carseat and he took her away from me to go to his moms for an hour. I bawled and couldnt relax until she came back. Its just natural I think fo rit to be like that. The longest ive left her for is 2 hours now.. But thats also becuz im breatsfeeding... But ur not a bad mom at all! Its best u take some time to yourself or else ull find u get more frustrated or even depressed. So go have fun, but its also good ur thinking of ur baby! Smile
