On Friday - for the first time since DS was born (he's 6 months) - DH gave DS a bottle of bm while I was out almost in tears the whole time just visiting a friend at work. Wow - that was hard.

Crazy, I know - that it's been 6 months and I've never been away from him for more than an hour to go do groceries or whatever and he's been with DH. And that's only been a handful of times.

I have decided that it is time though for me to give a little and take time for myself and also for DH and I. So this was a trial run.

I was so afraid - afraid he wouldn't take it - afraid he would take it. Silly, I know. Afraid that he would refect me later. But it all worked out. Phew - crisis overted!

I feel better and it made DH so happy to have 2 1/2 hours all to himself with the little man and to be able to nurture him while feeding him.

Maybe - now I can finally go for a haircut!!!! And maybe DH and I can go on a date??? Wow, wouldn't that be nice.

Just wanted to share - this has been an area I've been struggling with for a while.
