Every time my plane landed or right before I took off I called and checked on them. and then almost every hour when I was with Caleb I called and we skyped 2 or 3 times. It was the best thing for the boys though. They loved getting spoiled for 36 hours and Caleb and I got a night together that we'd never had before. So it was nice. It's still scary and I think it's part of being a mom to worry. :)Mama Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06876761843945761782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-6184499650725163522011-04-07T16:30:36.796-04:002011-04-07T16:30:36.796-04:00Sounds absolutely lovely.

I know it is very difficult to leave your children under any circumstances but perhaps particularly so when you have lost children or seen your children through time in the NICU. Really tough. I struggle with so many of the same issues as I don't want my own anxieties to hold my daughter back or to spoil her relationships with her extended family.<br /><br />Try not to feel guilty, you and Peter are amazing parents and I'm sure that your MIL and Sarah will enjoy every minute. My own MIL keeps asking WHEN we will let have J overnight!Catherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-40666127213675254562011-04-07T14:44:42.935-04:002011-04-07T14:44:42.935-04:00Hooray for the getaway, you both deserve it.

We still cosleep and nurse, and although he's 16 months old, and I know he would be fine with my mom, iI think I need him more then he needs me!Tina Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207404350850761588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-28259957700796700672011-04-07T08:53:56.839-04:002011-04-07T08:53:56.839-04:00It all sounds so romantic and exciting!

I can't wait until you get back and we can see pictures and hear all about it!<br /><br />I have very similar issues too with leaving my kiddos behind. Heck, my oldest is 9 and I still worry about him! :) Its very rare these days that Bobby and I ever venture out by ourselves. Partly because we worry and we miss them when we are not with them and partly because we have a fun time when we're all together! <br /><br />Hope you have a great Thursday!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360286843076465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-81925837959711712182011-04-07T08:18:30.352-04:002011-04-07T08:18:30.352-04:00Oh boy, now I feel really guilty about our vacatio...Oh boy, now I feel really guilty about our vacation in October that we just booked last night. It's a whole week. Do I suck? I guess I just need to be re-energized, 4 kids is draining even though I love every moment, too.<br /><br />You're an awesome mom, Michele! You will just be re-charging your batteries a little bit and focusing on your relationship with Peter which is hugely important for B&M too. =)quadmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254199098599230245noreply@blogger.com
