Ethan had his 1st night away from home on Friday. He stayed with my Mom so that we could attend a marriage conference. We felt weird getting out of the car without diaper bags, blankets, and Ethan. When we walked in the house Friday night, Chris kept saying that the house didn’t feel right without his boy being at there. I know I heard him repeat it 15 times….but he was right. It was the 1st time in 5 months that we were at home and Ethan was not there. I kept waking up during the night listening for him in the monitor. Thankfully, he had a wonderful night with his Nama AND….he slept ALL night for her. I sooooo wish that he’d do the same thing at home. I’m thinking that he slept all night because he was in the bed with her and not in his crib. OH WELL…we’ll just keep praying for a full 8 hours of sleep for now!

It's so hard to leave them even for a second, isnt it! I hate to say it gets easier, but it does. Even though I miss them terribly, leaving B&M at my in-laws for an afternoon or having them come sit for a date night is a nice breath of couple time (or cleaning time!)
ReplyDeleteYeah Ethan! It is weird, but it's so wonderful. Enjoy those times when you and Chris can be alone, they become priceless times. The other good thing is that you never know how rewarding it is for the grandparents. They enjoy spending that quality time with the baby...it does something incredible for their spirits. So it's a win, win situation.
ReplyDeleteAwww I know the feeling :) Now, we're begging the grandparents to keep Gabby for the night! haha! But when she's gone we don't know what to do with ourselves and can't wait to get her back home. :) Sweet little boy. <3 you guys
