Motherhood sure is a crazy thing. My very first night away from my girls since bringing them home from the hospital almost 14 months ago and I literally feel like I left a part of myself behind. When I drove off and jumped onto the interstate, I kept thinking that I needed to turn the radio down because surely the girls were asleep since it was so quiet in the backseat. And even knowing they weren't in the backseat, it was as if a part of my brain couldn't accept that and just would not let me turn the radio up too loud. What a strange, strange feeling.
In the meantime, I enjoyed a great night out with dear friends here in Nashville. We had dinner and I kept wanting to wipe the table down with a sanitizer wipe. Tomorrow it's a full day of meetings, then I'll be heading back home to my sweet angels knowing I survived my first overnight trip away from them. And the funniest part is, I doubt they'll even notice I was gone.
Thanks, Grammy for keeping the girls....it sure does help put a mama's mind at ease knowing they are in GREAT hands.

You're welcome! I woke up a few times last night listening for the sweet girls, only to hear the sound of silence, and went back to sleep until they started their wake up routine at 5:45. Although they cried a little and took bottles very nicely for Grammy and Daddy and said "da,da, da", I'm sure they wondered where their Mommy was. They're napping now and saving their hugs for you for tonight. Have a good meeting! I think we'll play the day away...
You can do it!! It's good for them, too! Heck, I've already left mine overnight with my parents (to go to the Liberty Bowl with Courtney), and they did just fine ... although I honestly think it would be harder now because that was almost 2 months ago, and they are more aware and attached to me now ... or at least that's the impression I get from them. ha!
