Okay, so I know Leann Rimes was not referring to an actual Baby when she sings "Baby I don´t know what I would do,..." but I´ll tell you what... it sure feels like that song is all about my baby right now. Yeah I know what you´re thinking, jeesh, what a Drama Queen! I don´t care, it`s my pity party and I´ll cry if I want to. Tomorrow at 2 p.m. I have an unavoidable flight to Colombia. One that will separate me from my little darling for 3 and 1/2 days and 3 WHOLE NIGHTS! My heart aches, my stomach turns, I´m nervous as all hell and stressed out about the whole thing. Talk about separation anxiety (and I don´t mean my baby´s)!
Several of you are now thinking, free trip to Colombia, sounds great to me, what`s she complaining about? I know... I KNOW! Still I can´t help it, first time mommy will spend her first nights away from a precious little baby girl she has snuggled up to and slept with for 18 months (yes, I count my pregnancy)! My husband and I chose co-sleeping and it has worked marvelously for us, so much so that I would choose my pee/poo/milk stained mattress over a hotel bed with fresh, clean, pressed linens and hospital corners... if only I could. My friend/professional mentor asked me to accompany her on a business trip to Colombia and she has done so much for me and my baby that I simply could not say no, but I can whine and complain about it in private.
I told my husband and he said "Qué bueno, te va a caer bien y te mereces un descanso despues de cuidar a la Hannita tan bien por tanto tiempo" (Great, you deserve a break after all of time you´ve spent caring for Hannah) or was that a veiled man comment that meant "Great, I was starting to worry about you spending so much time at home caring for Hannah". I told my sister and she said "its only a few days" in other words, "quit your whining woman". Alas... I think only other mommies can feel my pain, but I don´t have mommy friends so there is no one who can sympathize with me so I will settle for listening to my girl Leann`s song while crying silently to myself and venting on this blog until I can reach my mommy via Skype and hopefully she´ll make me feel a little better ´cause she knows what it's like to be so far away from your daughter, and she´s been enduring it for going on 13 years... I miss you mommy *sniffle*!
