Missing her already

Sam has been with Grandpa and Nana for five hours and I am missing her more than I thought possible. How am I going to do this for six days? I am sure they think that I think they are morons because I was giving them the most detailed instructions about EVERYTHING related to Sam but I was just so nervous about leaving her that I couldn't stop myself. I know that she will be fine and they will have so much fun with her because even teething she is a fun and fairly easy baby. But for her first time away from me overnight this is too long! With the crazy week that Chris and I have coming up with his exam and my conference I know we didn't really have a choice and I am so thankful that they were willing to help us out, but my heart is aching tonight. Is it weird that I am not really looking forward to an uninterrupted night of sleep? I am going to probably lay awake missing the sound of her middle of the night chatter and occasional screaming (not crying screaming, just awake and needing to yell screaming; yes our child is nuts!) and I am not looking forward to missing her in the middle of the night.
So here is to hoping that this week goes fast...really fast!

it's ok to miss her, and you will. but please hear me when i say ENJOY this time too. i haven't steered you wrong too many times so take my advice! a week is a blip in her life but it is a much needed break for you, chris and your marriage. take your time without sam to do things you haven't done since her birth... late night movies, a dinner out, a bike ride, a boat ride, anything. a blip ab. she'll have a long life and this is a blip. enjoy your blip!
