Bye Bye Baby

This weekend my husband and I are going to Belgium without our daughter. This will be the first time I’ve been away from her overnight and I have mixed emotions about it all. I’m excited to spend some time with my husband away from work and household duties, but I have some guilt about leaving my daughter behind. She’ll be in good hands since my in-laws are taking care of her at our place.  Plus, I know it’s healthy to do things without your children and it’s important for the marital relationship. I am excited for Belgian waffles and chocolate, getting lost in Brugge or just sleeping in without having to keep one ear open for the baby’s cry. I just hope I can enjoy it all without feeling like a bad mother.

I guess all moms go through this the first time they’re away from their baby, right?
