I was just thinking how I’m not really a fan of the whole second-person letter-to-my-baby, and now this. I’ll have to rethink my whole view.

My favourite line: “More than a watermelon; not quite as much as a bushel of apples.” Love. It.

I’m going away friday night and leaving my little one with grandma for the first time EVER….and I’m freakin out a little about it too. Just think at least she will have daddy there, right?

Awww! That was so wonderful!

(In case you don't remember...Awww can count as a meaingful comment)

Yay for teeth! Bean (My 8 1/2 month old) just got one of his lower ones and the other is right behind it. Thank goodness.

Have lots of fun (which I know you will) and don't mommy fret too much.

Wonderbaby is lucky to have a mom who loves her so fiercely. Yes, you will miss her. Of course you will miss her. But the snuggles you'll get upon your return will be so much sweeter.

And in the meantime...you'll be having some well deserved fun and a chance to recharge before heading back to supermom, sleep deprived-dom.

This post was stunning. Gorgeously written. Loved it. Sending big hugs of reassurance.

This is that much sweeter having met your darling WonderBaby and knowing that downy head!

I hope you have a great time – I thought of you today in Winners, when I spied a sweet and sassy laptop bag, and wished I swomehow had time to deliver it to you for your trip, but knew I didn’t. You’ll be so busy and tired, you’ll be back with her in your arms before you know it.

And btw – I love that pic of you.

Enjoy your time to yourself without guilt or regret. You don’t love your family less. You’re just being kind to yourself in ways you can’t necessarily be when your at home.

You hit upon another thing that’s good about business trips – your feelings for your children well up and overcome any feelings of being overwhelmed, etc.

Enjoy yourself and have a drink for me!
