Jude spent his first night away from me on Saturday. I know it was harder on me than it was on him. Although, it was not quite as hard to leave him as it was to leave Julia for the first time. I guess I am much more mellow as a parent the second time around.
Actually, my biggest concern with leaving him over night was making sure I had enough milk to send with him! He is such a big eater and my body does not respond to the pump well, so I was worried I would not have enough milk to send to last him the entire time.
Jerrod's parents took both kids on Saturday night, so this was the first time we had been totally kid-free overnight since Jude was born. We were supposed to go out with friends, but those plans fell through, so we just rented some movies and had a quiet night in. It was very nice to just sit with Jerrod and relax and not have to worry about the kids. Although, I swear heard Jude on the baby monitor several times and had to remind myself that Jude was not in the house.
I think the kids wore out Jerry and Debbie, because they said they hit their number limit in babysitting. LOL
Both kids did great and I am sure we will do it again sometime. It will be much easier to do once Jude can start drinking regular milk and food.
