First time alone....
So I got a call from Devins Aunt who lives nearby asking me if she could babysit for us this weekend... Even now I am uneasy leaving Gavin with anyone... I know I need to get over it and I never thought I would be that mother that couldn't trust my son to be out of my sight... but I am that mother... I recognize that. But for some odd reason I actually felt okay about leaving him with her (she is extremely calm and caring, and she has seen Gavin at his worst) I know she is capable of handling about any situation he could throw at her. So Friday night after I had layed him down to sleep Devin and I got to go out ALONE! Weird! We walked hand in hand through this gorgeous botanical garden and then got ice cream. Such a fun night! Then on saturday morning she came over and played with him while Devin and I went to the temple TOGETHER for the first time since he was born! What a treat! I know we need to do this more often, but I still need to get used to be okay with leaving him... baby steps I guess!

I am also one of those mothers. I freaked out having to leave Emma to go to the Hospital to have Sarah. Ron brought her up to see me everyday but still... It is so weird.
Like you said baby-steps!
April! Im so glad you found us! Gavin is too cute!
I am also one of those moms. I have a very difficult time leaving my kids with other people. I think that attitiude has it's +'s though because it shows you are aware of what could possibly go on when you are not there. Luckily, you have a great family member who you trust. We also have great family that help us out.
I'm right there with you A. It is torture for me to have to leave my kids for too long. It is nice when it is with someone you can trust, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. By the way, I made those cookies yesterday and they were perfect! Shortening turns out a lot better than butter for some reason so I knew it would be a good recipe! Thanks!
I'm so glad you got to go out together! Aunt LaRee is so sweet to offer. Also, my photographer was photography by Portia and they really are so awesome! AND, i'll definately try those cookies! Thanks!
April- As hard as it is to leave him, and as much as you miss him, take advantage of it!!!! You and Devin need your alone time too- keeps the spark there in my opinion. You are very lucky to have someone who loves Gavin so much and wants to do it for you! It gets easier as he gets older.
april i am so happy you found my blog! :) and your baby is SO CUTE. seriously. his smiles and awesomeeee hair are the best :) i'm so excited for you to come and do the hobble creek half! it will be so fun! :)
Hi April!
I remember what a weird feeling that was leaving my babies for the first time. How nice for you! I'm glad you had someone you could trust so much.
