LJ and I were separated for almost 5 hours this past Saturday. My mom came up to babysat while I went to a friends bridal shower and Jeff did a 100 mike bike ride.
The separation was physically as hard as it was emotionally. My chest felt rock hard due to the lack of feeding! Emotionally it was tough just because we've only been separated for 20 mind before. My mom's amazing. Still its tough. He was crying when I left. When I came home, i ran to him and found he was asleep. My cousin started to sing "reunited and it feels so good."
It was great to be reunited. But the new possibilities were even better. In five hours he only drank 5 ounces of breastmilk. I have lots in the freezer. Plus he was able to sleep without me. And my mom agrees to babysit in the future. Maybe 5 hours could go to 8 or even a whole weekend.
Um.... But am I ready?
