What is the worst that could happen? Piper might cry for a bit, Piper gets off her schedule for a day or two. She won’t remember and she will recover quickly. And so will you.

Learning to let go and be okay with things if they’re different than what you expect or want is SO hard. You are not alone and I think its also healthy — it means you care about the welfare of your baby but (you heard that coming) — but it worth pushing through the pain barrier, and its also good for Piper too.

A night with Paul is priceless gift and the opportunity for some bonding time with said SIL is a nice way of letting her know you love and trust her which will move you right up to the totem poll (if you’re not already there;-)
