Xander Week 27 - Our first trip without the baby…
March 29, 2007
Last week Zach and I went on a trip to Las Vegas. It was planned well before Xander’s arrival, and although Vegas wasn’t my ideal vacation spot, Zach had a conference there, so it ended up being a cheaper vacation, all things considered. While Zach and I were in Vegas, Xander stayed with a series of relatives. Xander did fine with his family, and I’m sure the whole event was harder on us than it was on him. I knew I was going to miss Xander, but it almost surprised me how much. There were lots of babies out there, and every time I saw one, I first compared the size to Xander’s size, and then I wanted to chase the baby down and play with it, because I couldn’t play with my baby. We flew home very late, and didn’t get to my in-law’s until 2:30 am. It took every ounce of self control that I possess not to wake Xander as soon as we walked in the door, but I knew he hadn’t been sleeping great that week, and I didn’t want him to wake up in the middle of the night and not go back to sleep. All in all, the trip was a success, and it provided Xander with some excellent bonding time with our extended family. I am very happy to be home though - and it feels so wonderful to cuddle my little boy!
