My plan is to fly out of Townsville at 12ish, get into Brisbane at 2ish. Meet up with the family, head to the Gold Coast, have a great night out, brunch in the morning then back to the airport and fly out at 2 to be back home by 4pm Sunday. Can I do it? Can Juffin do it?
As I'm still breastfeeding, I'll take the trusty Medela with me and express when I can so I can keep my milk supply up and make sure the Mushroom has plenty for the 24 hours I'm away. It really shouldn't be an issue as he'll be 11 months and eats lots of food but I just keep thinking of all the things that can go wrong, which is me all over. The Juffin has assured me he'll be fine, and he did do a whole afternoon and evening alone last weekend when I was at a work conference thing, but my concern is mainly being so far away.
What are your thoughts? Am I a bad mother? Should I just pay the extra $500 odd to have them come with me, or just suck it up and go? I know that I will be thinking of them the whole time, but I would if they were there anyway................

you should go girl! and go for longer!! u will get back home n look at ur two boys smiling and surviving n think...I worried for nothing, I should have gone for longer. Xxxxx
ReplyDeleteGO! Definitely! You aren't a bad mother for having 24 hours off - you have a wonderful, supportive and perfectly capable partner who will love having Daddy and Mushroom time - don't second guess yourself chick - you (three) will be fine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies. I'm keen now and now that the boy's will be just fine. I wasn't worried that Juffin couldn't cope, more that I wouldn't cope away from them! Lame!
