Living it up in Vegas

We did it! We finally left the kids and had our first kid-free vacation since Noah was born.  Did I worry about leaving the kids? Of course.  But did I manage to enjoy myself with Brien and friends... oh yes I did! I didn't realize how much we needed this trip.  A million thank yous to our friends for planning this adventure as I never would have done it.  I believe I have convinced myself that I am the ONLY person who can care for Cecily... I am not an egomaniac... but I am very crazy when it comes to her care. I worry. I worry that she is getting enough stimulation. I worry that she is doing enough therapy - but not too much.  (I don't want to turn into a therapy Mom).  I worry that she will be upset if I'm not there to pick her up and respond to her every need. And then there is Noah.  At almost 4 he still needs Mommy or Daddy to go to sleep. He still wakes up every night and he is very afraid of the dark. Would he be ok without us? Yes. He was fine and in fact he didn't seem to miss us. He would like us to go away again so Grammy and Grampy can take him to McDonalds. (hey a little bribery goes a long way...) 

It was lovely to sleep through the night and not hear the beep, beep, beep of Cecily's feeding pump. It was lovely to shop in stores without kids and eat dinner at 9:30pm and go out drinking like we were in college again.  We had no responsibilites. We lounged by the pool, ate delicious meals in kid-free restaurants and pretended that we were 21 as opposed to thirty-something. At moments on this trip I did feel old.  We looked around at the just turned 21 crowd and remembered our pre-kid Vegas days... It was a fun time but life now is the best it has ever been. I wouldn't change anything. We didn't win big in Vegas but you can't lose coming home to two adorable kids that are ready to give you kisses and hugs.  Plus, they think we're cool.  I know this won't last so I'll soak it up for now...

Alas... this trip made me realize that the kids keep kicking, crying, laughing and growing whether I am there to witness every second or not... A big Thank you to Grammy and Granpa for enabling us to leave for a fun weekend in Vegas.
Onwards and upwards!
