Teddy's holiday

I've mentioned before that Teddy has never really been away from us & I'm a stay at home mum so he's with me everyday. We have to start letting him spend time away from us though as we have been told that baby will be in hospital for at least 10 days when she has her operation and Teddy won't be allowed up there while she's in intensive care, so he will be staying with my mum for a few days and then Joe's mum until we come home.

So on Saturday we agreed to let Joe's mum & dad have him for the weekend at their chalet in Kent. I knew that he would love it down there, he'd have a huge field to run around on and lots of other children to play with. 


All packed and ready to go, I wonder if he took enough!

He couldn't wait to go out and play and didn't even realise we had left, Joe's mum sent me lots of pictures so I knew he was enjoying himself...although that didn't stop me crying myself to sleep Saturday night! As we co sleep I think it hit me once I'd gone to bed and really noticed he wasn't there with me. 

On Sunday I made sure I spent the day doing things to take my mind off it. I done lots of housework & washed, ironed & packed baby's clothes ready for hospital. I haven't started packing my hospital bag yet but there's still a few bits I need to get. 

I had my GTT appointment booked for Monday so decided to leave Teddy with Joe's mum for another night and pick him up after my test. I spent Sunday night crying again, I'm hoping I can try and get used to it a bit or I'm going to be a wreck when the baby goes in hospital.

I couldn't wait for the 2 hours to be up and finally once my GTT was finished I was on my way to pick up my little man. I wondered what he would be like when he saw us..Joe thought he'd get really excited, I thought he'd get upset & realise that we had left him for 2 days. What did he do? Ignore us! He took one look & carried on playing. I'm so glad because it was obvious that he's been having far too much fun to care that we wasn't there. 

Joe has booked the week off so we are planning on taking Ted on some days out, possibly London Zoo or Legoland. I'd love some suggestions though so if anyone can recommend some good family days out in either London, Essex or Kent please let me know.
