7:30 pm: I tell David I am thinking about changing our plans and taking Miles with us to Erie on Saturday. He says no. And that I'll live.
7:45 pm: I express my concerns to my mother-in-law. She tells me I'll live.
8:30 pm: Grandpa Cain tries to make me feel better about leaving Miles for a week by telling us the story of Grandma wanting to leave her kids so bad and after no time at all saying, "I'll never leave my babies again!" And she never did. I'm not feeling any better about it. Grandpa and Grandma say I'll live.

7:30 am: "David," I whisper. "David, I'm really starting to get anxious about the whole house buying thing and about leaving Miles." I think to myself that I really need him to tell me everything will be fine and snuggle me. "Don't worry Sweetie. Everything will be alright," and snuggles me.
7:45 am: Miles wakes up and I'm super excited to get my first morning smile and to give him his morning hug. He gives me a big one back. Sigh to the max.
9:30 am: I'm sitting in the dentist's chair scared to death that due to the entire right side of my face being numb I am bound to bite my tongue off which has grown exponentially in size. I'm feeling even more anxious. My hands are visibly shaking. "How long are you going to be in Pennsylvania?" the dentist asks me. "Seven days," I say. Seven. Days. Maybe my hands are just overreacting. I'll live. I guess. I just don't know how.
A place to document our day-to-day brags or complaints. Hope you enjoy.

I don't think you are crazy at all. I am already stressed about leaving Owen for the cruise in Oct! and don't get me started on leaving him for one night while I have this baby. I made a "crazy person's " list explaining to who ever is here with him every possible detail they would ever want to know about him. From deciphering what it is he is trying to say, to where he is usually hiding if you can't find him (the pantry.) I think you are a good mom, who loves her baby.
As Spencer told me, you don't want him to be the crazy kid at the MTC who cries the whole first week cause he misses his mommy, you want a secure well adjusted child , right? I am not so sure myself, but I for sure know that the kid will be fine, I am the crazy one.
I know. I'm sure it will all be fine... It's just... What if he forgets who I am? I just talked to Janel and she said that she left her baby for 10 days and she not only forgot who her Mom was, but she was also mad at her for a few days. I don't think I can hadle that.
You shouldn't be so worried. I'd say that the only bad thing that could happen would be if he had an allergic reaction to something. And its not like he's allergic to anything...right?
Spence. I think my heart just stopped. I'll tell David to thank you as I cry myself to sleep tonight.
AI is getting good now, I really did fall asleep watching it until 2 weeks ago. Honest.
It is heart wrenching to leave them, it doesn't get easier. When we went to Costa Rica in November I had the worst time adjusting. (and my baby is 10) Miles will be fine, he is going to be around people who love him, time will fly and you'll be home in no time.
Well I for one think you should bring him!! He could stay at my house while you are house shopping and you would be here every night to hug and kiss and snuggle your baby. Sammy and Gracie would LOVE to play with him!!!! Honestly my heart is hurting for you at the thought of leaving him for so long. I am having separation anxiety for you. Bring him, bring him, bring him (I am sending you subliminal messages with my mind).
Cic I left Tatum for 3 days when she was 18 months and she didn't remember me and she was mad at me too. But look at her now, well adjusted, happy, wont talk, has a speech problem, and will be costing us at least $10K for therapy.

I m sorry friend I don't know what to say. I have a hard time leaving Aspen for an hour, but I know that she will be fine, I just have separation problems..... Hello, theres no one to leave her with besides Dave! Ha maybe thats my problem!
I am sure he will be fine and he won't not like you! He will be so stoked to see you he will love it, you will love it, and all will be well!
Amanda was in SL for two weeks with Tyler and Lizzy. Andy was all by himself with no cute kids to play with. They are reunited and everyone remembered each other!
