When is it still too soon to leave your baby with a sitter or family member to go and have some fun of your own?

This weekend my boyfriend and I left our daughter with her grandmother and we went to Orlando with our friends. When he first told me about his plans to take a mini vacation to Orlando, my heart sank and I couldn’t help but look at Hayli and cry of guilt. I felt so guilty because I had never left her anywhere before, not even for an hour, how could I leave her for a whole weekend? Nobody other than my boyfriend knows her schedule, it’s just been us the past four months, I was terrified to leave her behind and be four hours away.
Dropping her off wasn’t easy AT ALL. I felt like she knew something was up, her dad and I sat on either side of her on the ride to drop her off and she just kept looking from me, to him, back to me, and back to him again. She had to have known! Ofcourse when we got there my mom was already waiting for her outside as exited as could be.
Driving off was the WEIRDEST feeling. After a year of being pregnant and after she was born, being with her every second if every day, it felt totally foreign to be without our little one. But it was for our own sanity to get out for awhile.
After a few facetime calls, and some theme parks, it was time to finally pick our baby up! When I got there on Monday morning, I was there in time to see her wake up, as soon as she saw me she gave me the biggest smile and I was so happy to have her with me again.
I won’t lie, it felt great to be young and reckless again for a couple of days, and take a breather from the baby. I wasn’t AS relaxed as I would have liked to have been because hello FIRST TIME MOM HERE and first time I left her anywhere, but I would feel comfortable doing it again in the future and probably be way more relaxed since I know she’ll be okay LOL!
I think its necessary to get time away from everything with your other half because, the way I see it, you had a baby together BECAUSE of your relationship. So why not take care of the relationship and get out for a bit? Any ways Hayli is waking up again so time to go
