We did it. We left Kate alone for 4 whole days with my mom and sister. Boy was it hard! I had so many emotions going through my head the day we left for California...sad, excited, nervous, uncertain, relieved...I cried of course. But as soon as we got to California and took our first unplanned nap, life was good. Of course we missed Kate but we knew she was in good hands. She slept and took naps and had a great time. She was spoiled and I am so thankful for that! Heck, she probably needed a break from us too. She probably needed a new energy around her and who better to give that than my mom and sister! The picture below is definitely of Amanda and Kate shopping! Amanda put this cute hat on her and said Kate loved it! I just know she is already taking after my mom and sister's love of shopping! Hopefully Aunt Panda can teach Kate how to dress because we all know I don't have that gift! :)
We had a wonderful, relaxing time touring San Francisco and Napa Valley. I got a much needed massage and we ate great food and had fun drinks. It was nice to not worry about what I was eating or drinking since I did not have to feed Kate. By Sunday though, we were ready to see Kate. We could not get home fast enough! My heart melted when I saw her. I could not do anything but cry and thank God for our little blessing.
It was great have a small break but it also made me realize how much I love Kate and that it is a good thing for me to have "me" time so that I am a better mom.
