Last night, Brian and I got a little break. Brian's mom wanted to watch Gregory over the night, so we let her. It was a little nervewracking at first because I've never left him alone all night before with someone else and me not be there and it was scary.

I had my phone sitting next to my bed with the ring up full blast just waiting for a horrible phone call, but there was none. This morning, there has been a phone call either. I'm worried that I've not received a phone call to let me know that he was okay all night, but I guess I'll find out when I go pick him up here in the afternoon.

Talk about a restless night!

Brian and I took advantage of having no baby there to start the laundry and then we played World of Warcraft for a few hours. It was sort of relaxing...but at the same time, totally scary because Gregory wasn't there. I had to drink a few beers to settle my nerves.

BUT, that's about it...

Now, I'm at work...fun stuff. No casual week this week, so I'm wearing my work clothes again (boo...I feel so fat in these clothes). Brian, the lucky devil, gets to wear jeans or whatever he wants to work everyday and he works in an office setting. Irks me...but whatever. NO FAIR!!!

Anyway, I have lots to do...so I better get to it.

i wish i could wear anything to work in the office.

He gets to wear whatever he wants? in an office setting? Hmm, how about going in covered in tattoos, including one of li'l Gregory on his back, ripped jean shorts, black tank, and numerous piercings. Oh, and makeup, too. ^-^

I can only imagine how utterly discombobulating it must be to be separated from your child for the first time.

Oh, work-clothes. The best thing about working in a lab is that I can wear anything I want, provided the pants are long, the shoes are close-toed, and I have some sort of shirt on. Quite nice. I never have to really think about what I'm going to be wearing. :)

I'd love to wear whatever I want to work, but in a restaurant, it gets messy so I don't mind the 'uniform.' However, I'd love a job where I could wear something more comfortable.
I could only imagine how it would be to not have your child there for the first whole night. I'm sure I wouldn't get much sleep either.

Well, if you're lucky the anxiety will go away after a little while and you won't become one of those terribly overprotective parents. :P

it is good for you guys to get a break. Maybe then he can start sleeping in his crib too. That way he knows it is ok to be away from both of you.

Oh no, lol
I couldn't leave Ethan without me being there. I wouldn't be able to sleep a wink. Grandma has already asked and I said nope not yet. Maybe when he's 10 he can,lol. She wasn't too happy with that remark but oh well. It does sound nice to have a relaxing night but I know I'd freak out and have to go back and get him within 2 hrs or so. Take Care
