Separation Anxiety

Today Emily and I spent nearly 3 hours apart. I had been planning to get pampered and get my hair done as soon as was possible after Emily was born and was waiting for the right moment before I made the appointment. So after testing the expressing and the bottle instead of boob feeding I finally arranged todays appointment and I have to say was really looking forward to it. But as the time came nearer I started to feel more nervous at the prospect of being away from my little girl for the first time.

So Julie and Irene (Woz's sister & mom) came with me and took Emily off on an adventure round the shopping centre while I went for my lovely new hair-do. I did try and relax but couldn't help constantly wondering where they were and what they were up to. I have to add at this point that I even dressed her in a 'I love my mummy' t-shirt that Woz bought last week, just so that she wouldn't forget about me! Crazy!

Well it all had to happen when I was in the hairdressers didn't it?! After being out a few times Emily, where she had slept through the afternoon I was hoping for a similar performance today...but it wasn't to be. Three firsts:

1. Screaming in a public place
2. Projectile pooing and puking over all her clothes (lucky I had put in a spare)
3. Feeding of mommy express milk in cafe

And I missed it all...!

At least my first separation experience is over and hopefully next time will be a bit easier and I will be able to resist the urge to call and text every five minutes to see whats going on.

By the way, I love my new haircut!
