I found out last night that DH is planning a trip for me for Christmas. We were at a Christmas party and he had had a bit to drink and was talking with my mom about it in a pretty loud voice. I don't know where we are going but I asked him a little more about it this morning. He said it was for 3 nights and is at the end of February. I talked to my mom this morning - she called about something else but told her I had found out a little. She and my dad are going to be watching Billy and Benjamin while we are gone. She said that DH had told her we are leaving early Friday morning and coming home late Monday night - so that turns it into more like a 5 night vacation. I am totally fine with leaving Billy with my parents but Benjamin is a whole other story. He still wakes 1-5 times a night to eat, he is EBF - we have started solids but they are definately not his main source of food, he will not use a bottle but we have started giving him sippy cups with bm which he will drink and he is very attached to me. And I will have to bring my pump along and pump while we're on vacation - not too romantic.
I am so excited to go on vacation and would love it if this was NEXT year's Christmas present. I just think that it is too early to leave Benjamin for that long. When I was talking to my mom today, she said that she had thought of a couple other options and was going to call DH today and discuss those, she said he has been calling them everyday for the past week trying to arrange everything. I think I need to sit and talk with DH before this all becomes final - I would be totally okay with spending 1 night away and maybe 2 but definately not 5!!!
Am I being realistic here or would 5 nights be okay? I love the fact that he wants to go away as a couple and next year a long vacation would be perfect.
Thanks for any advice :)
