I've been reading this with interest too. I'm going on a Girls Weekend Away in two weeks time and leaving DD with my DP. He is fine about this but of course I'm a bit nervous. Actually when I say "away" we're doing this in Melbourne (our home town) because we've also got two pregnant ladies coming too so I'll be a 45min tram ride from home in case of dramas. Actually, I can imagine sneaking home before breakfast to have morning hugs with Kittykat and sneaking back before the girls notice!

Really, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. We don't want our babies to be upset that we're not there ... but maybe just a LITTLE bit upset that we've gone IYKWIM.
