Were you anxious first time leaving your baby.

Ok so basically I'm planning a girls night out in November. I have decided to take my son over to his dads house and letting him stay the night. Me and my partner don't live together but we are a couple. My son is 8 months and lives with me and my parents and the weekend we stay with my partner and his family. I have let my parents and his parents babysit but that's a few hours while we have gone shopping or had a meal out somewhere. I have not been out with the girls for a proper night since getting pregnant. I am going to be taking my son to his dads and then staying at mine so I can enjoy my night and get sleep. I am anxious as have never had a night without my son. As I'm his main carer as his dad works night I give him his bath and put him to bed and that is what he is use to. At the weekends my partner does help like he will make a bottle, feed him change him, run a bath but he always has me there to help if he needs it. Obviously I will tell him what he needs when our son goes bed etc... but I'm just anxious in will my bf cope on his own and how will my son react to me not being there at night.
