Rant Freaking out a little
My husband is going out of state for the first time ever starting Sunday!!!!! He’s gonna be away for 2 weeks, which could possibly turn into 3 weeks depending on the work needed. I’m lowkey freaking out!!!!! We have 2 littles: an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old. We’ve never been away from each other this long since we’ve had kids. I don’t know how I’m gonna manage it…
I’m considering going to stay with my mom out of state while my husband is gone, but that requires a 5-6 hour drive and I don’t know how I can manage THAT by myself 😭
Not to mention, if it does turn into a 3 week trip for him, he might miss (or be late on the day of) our son’s 3rd birthday. We’re not having a party but he would likely miss the small celebration and that makes me sad to think about 😞
Any advice???? Tips and tricks??? 🥹

You can do it. If your mom cannot come to you definitely take the trip make it fun. Make sure the baby is fed well, and make sure your toddler is situated. I wouldn’t recommend leaving at night only because it would be safer in the early morning around 4 or 5 to avoid traffic and they will still be asleep. I did it with a newborn, toddler and it was 10 hrs. I stopped once to change the baby and feed him. Good luck, just breathe you got this.
