Our LO is 4 months, and he is our first, we are going to visit our families who luckily live in the same city, we live across the country from them so it will be the first time our LO is meeting extending family. Literally other than the first 3 weeks our immediate family came out to help us, it’s been my husband and I, and really me with our son 24/7 because my husband has work and isn’t always able to be home.

While I am super super excited to go back home, I’m also getting anxious 😟 the next day of us being home we’re having him baptized and there will be about 80 guests coming to celebrate with us. We are blessed to have such great families who support us!

But also like ahhhh 80 people being introduced to him all at once, who I know will want to hold him, and I feel like I’m the one that will have the separation anxiety and just anxiousness of not being with him... is it normal to feel like this, being a first time mom and pretty much being with him 24/7 I’m just feeling so anxious. My MIL made a comment like oh you won’t even have to carry/see him he’ll have so many babysitters! The comment kind of made me cringe 😬 I know it’s all coming from a good place and I’m looking forward to getting a break and mommy and daddy time but also ahh can’t shake this feeling like I’m already having separation anxiety 😟

Over the weekend my husband was with our LO while I went over grocery shopping and I was thinking about our upcoming trip and started feeling really anxious and like my chest was heavy? Idk totally have never felt that before
