It seems surreal that in about 12 hours, I’ll be on a plane to Florida for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. We’re not bringing the kids along this time so it’ll be the first time since they were born that we’ll be apart for 10 days. That’s 240 hours of not being able to snuggle in bed or smell the faint strawberry scent their freshly-washed hair or nibble on their cheeks. Something tells me that I’m not going to make it.
In short, I’m going into severe baby separation anxiety mode. 10 bucks says that I’ll bawl like a baby when I board the plane.
Also, I’m pretty sure these are the symptoms of extreme separation anxiety.
1. I’m becoming schizophrenic. I spent the last 24 hours alternating between “WHOOOO I’M LEAVING!” and “I CAN’T GO I MISS MY BABIES”, sometimes within the span of 5 seconds.
2. I have been squeezing the life out of both my kids. I’m trying to hug them extra to make up for the next 10 days, so they’ve practically been stuck to my hips all day. So much so that Truett is all “ENOUGH MOMMY” and Kirsten joins in with “don’t want mommy to hugggggg.”
3. Which is the point I sigh dramatically and say, “you guys will miss me when I’m gone.”
4. I’m considering stealing their precious duck and blankie for my trip so I can breathe in their smell and imagine they’re there with me. The only thing stopping me is the knowledge that my mom and in-laws will kill me for the 10 sleepless nights ahead of them.
5. I’m making soppy videos of my kids so I can watch them over and over again when I’m there. Like these.

Thanks Cecilia!
I know what you mean, I’ve left my baby home for four times for 3-6 days at a time. When you’re having fun, it’s ok, but otherwise, it’s “I miss my baby!” Haha. OMG kirsten’s laughter is so contagious! I kept giggling to myself haha.

Hahah you’re right! The nights are probably when you feel it most.
SO CUTEEEEEE!!!
Is there an app that Kirsten likes to play with on the iPhone? I can download and let her play when I’m around at home.
Yes!! Priceline app, for real. And talking carl, talking hippo, basically anything that talks. And youtube, anything from glee or hi-5 or veggie tales. And if you have O-player, she likes pixar movies. Thanks jean!
They totally brightened my day!
Truette is so sneaky: mei mei put there. ; i take.
Hahahah. Have fun babe!!
I know! At least props to him for not snatching it from her hands. Points for creativity. And thanks!
Can totally understand what u meant. I miss my bb like crazy if I go out without him. Sound crazy but true.
Anyway, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Enjoy to max :)
It’s probably a mom thing. Even though it’s so crazy to bring the kids for a holiday, we’d still rather have them along..
kirsten is sooooo pretty!!! and truett is one smart cookie! hehehe.
something about the 2nd video tells me that you’re going to have beat the girls off with a stick when he grows up.

Oh, they are so cute! I like how Tru get that iphone from Kirsten! He is very smart and a ‘gentleman’ for not snatching! Kirsten is so beautiful. From these videos, I understand how bad your separation anxiety is going to be..
Nonetheless, enjoy your trip :)
Have a great trip, totally know the separation anxiety you talked about!

Wow, you must be there already! Have a blast, and I can totally relate. The leaving and bye-byes are the worst parts but once you’re there with tonnes of stuff to do, you’ll be totally fine!
Have a fun and safe trip! :D
