A Night Out?

As my birthday draws closer so does the pressure for me to go out with my friends. I have not been away from Princess P for more than 4 hours since she was born 3 months ago. It's not that I haven't had the opportunity, it's just that I don't want to leave her. This was also one of my biggest factors for not going back to work after she was born. Many people have told me that it's just because I'm a first time mom and it will get better as time goes on, but so far it hasn't. If I did go out she would be left with either of her Grandparents and I know that they would take exceptional care of her, but I just feel like I know whats best for her. I know the signals when she is hungry, I know what it means when she sucks on her fist, I know how she likes to be held when she is tired, and they don't. I really would like to go out for my birthday but maybe just to a nice dinner and not a night at the club like everyone wants. Also I don't know if I would feel comfortable being at the club again now that I'm a mom. Not that mom's can't or shouldn't go, I think I would just feel out of place. I don't know I still have a couple of weeks to think about it, maybe I will change my mind.

I understand completely!! My son is 19 months and I have left him with my sister once for a couple of hours and his daddy watched him for a few hours one day while I went to the store. I don't want to leave him with anyone else. I don't know what I am gonna do when he gets old enough to go to school. I don't know that I will ever want to let go!! LOL!

Well, I can completely understand too! I felt the same way - and when I was gone for the briefest of moments, I always missed my little guy until I was with him again.
