Lonely

My little man is gone, he is staying with Grandma and Grandpa Brinkerhoff for 8 DAYS. That's a really long time, in pregnant hormonal mommy world-it's forever. Levi is getting surgery this next week to fix his sleep apnea and we've heard it's a pretty rough recovery so we needed help. My sweet father in law suggested that Landon come and hang out with them for a week and at first, all I could think about was all of the reasons he shouldn't go. He's been sick, 8 days is too long, he's potty training and who wants to inflict that upon people they love?! In the end the pros outweighed the cons and now little man is peacefully sleeping (I hope!) in his very own big bed at Grandma and Grandpa's. I just have to share how ridiculous my emotions have been! I bawled almost all the way home from Rawlins (where we met up with Aunt Bridget), slept a little when I got home and then promptly started crying again when I learned that he would be seeing Santa tomorrow for the first time! I will probably resume later tonight when I wake up to pee around 3:30 am and forget that he's gone and go in to check on him to make sure his blankets are on. Sigh. He's my little buddy! My extra appendage that never stops talking! It's so dang quite in the house...
On the upside, Levi and I had an in-house date where we made huge bowls of salad and watched shows we've fallen behind on as loud as we wanted! Sounds lame but I don't know the last time we watched something in the living room without needing subtitles to understand what was going on so we didn't wake Landon up.
Well, I guess I better make a list of things I can get done while my little helper is gone :) good night sweet baby, I love you.
