For mom and dad, that is. :>>
Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda were here for a few days, and Linda offered to take the night shift…and since there is no way I would get any sleep if I was in the same house and could hear him, we decided to get a hotel. (That didn’t end up being the greatest experience, but it was nice to have a little break.)
Tom had to go to the exchange at Selfridge Air Force Base, so our time away started pretty early. Then we ate an early dinner and hit a few stores (including Buy Buy Baby—we had attempted to not do anything baby-related while we were out and about, but we just couldn’t resist since we were driving right by it).
I tried not to think too much about being away from Owen, because if I did, I would get a little sad. Not that I was worried or anything, it’s just that I have never had to leave him…while Tom, on the other hand, technically leaves him every day. Tom, sweetie that he is, took a short video of Owen before we left—and then brought the camera with us—so I could have a baby fix if I needed it. 🙂
We made it back home about 8am the next morning. (We would have stayed at the hotel longer, but we had to get ready to go to Reese for Easter.) We got the report that Owen pretty much kept the same sleep schedule (about 5 hours, then one hour, then one hour), so Grandma Linda got to experience the real deal. 😉
So, overall, I’m glad we did it—and we certainly wouldn’t be opposed to doing it again. 😀
