My husband deployed a few weeks ago, he's still in pre-mob and got a 2 day pass. So I booked a trip. That's the easy part!

We decided together that we're would leave our son home with family. He's staying with his Aunt. She's incredible! She's raised two kids of her own in a military family so she knows how this works. The baby is packed with car seat, medical info, clothes, toys, food, snacks, and everything she could possibly need for him including cash if she needs to get something else. She's got a key to my house if baby gets uncomfortable and she needs to bring him home to feel safe. I know for a fact that I am NOT the only parent leaving my kiddo with someone. But here I am, in a panic, because I'm leaving my baby behind. I know he'll be fine. I know she'll take excellent care of him. All I can do at this point is board my flight in in a couple days and enjoy my time with Hubby.
