Its important that we not put the weight of our issues on them. Most kids do fine when a parent goes away for a period of time. Its good for their development to learn that its possible to be loved and secure when Mom/Dad is out of sight. As mothers we miss our children, but we have to make sure that we are not making it worse for them, by projecting our anxiety onto them.

Makes me a little weepy already, however I just did a 2-day trip to NY sans enfants and it was delightful. I am no longer nursing, however, so I think my chest pangs are easier to ignore. My first born is also named Julian. Let's take a picture together of "Julian's Moms" at BlogHer! So generous of you to write this lengthy post.

Always with close family members and friends. The anxiety for me and planning is still there - trust me. It isn't just anyone and the plans are very well laid out with notes, agendas, etc. I have found that that leaving my children overall makes me feel better because I get the break and adult time, me time and also the down the road (sad but true) what if I am not here experience. My mom was a single mom and young and I had many caregivers and close family members and looking back that helped make me who I am. In a very controlled way I want to give that to my kids. Does that sorta make sense? Muddy waters, hey??? Can't wait to meet you! Yay!!!! Amy,
