A while back, Diana organized a girls getaway in Sonoma with me, Ann, Caroline, Leilani, May, and Vicki for the last weekend in September. Even though I was looking forward to it, I was a little worried. It was going to be my first whole day away from Mathis, and he hadn't taken a bottle since his first month. In preparation, for a week we'd try to give Mathis some formula from a bottle once a day. He never drank more than a couple of ounces.
Since it was going to be my first whole day away from Mathis, I decided not to join most of the gals for brunch and hitched a ride with Ann. I also decided not to partake in a spa treatment since I still had a couple of spa certificates waiting to be used at home. It was nice just to relax by the pool and catch up with everyone without the distraction of kids and babies. For dinner, we ate at the El Dorado Hotel. Dinner and dessert hit the spot.
Only Diana, Leilani, and I stayed the night. I pumped a couple of times before going to sleep, but still ended up waking in the middle of the night to pump because I was so uncomfortable. It was like Mathis was still with me.
On the flip side this was the first time Hansel took care of all three kids for a whole day. Mathis did not sleep at all during the day and would cry every time he saw the bottle, but at least he slept through the night out of pure exhaustion.
