This past weekend, we were away from Gwen in Fort Lauderdale for a wedding. And although it was a nice little getaway, I wanted nothing more than to be with Gwen. Yea, it's nice being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want... but when I was sitting at the pool, sipping on my virgin pina colada {boo to that}, all I could think was, "Man, I really wish she was here."
There were tons of other little kids, having fun with their parents, giggling and laughing in the sun and the sand. I couldn't get hometo her fast enough.
We have gone away without her one other time. She was 8-ish months old and we went to Florida for a few days... I nearly had a breakdown when I got back. I couldn't believe how much I missed her. How much I felt like she had changed in just a few short days. It was unreal.
But, THIS trip was the first one that she really even knew we were gone. She told us everytime that we FaceTime-d with her, "I miss you." "You come back now?" and I could have cried each time. So, you can bet your ass that I did not let that little girl go when I got her back. I smothered her with hugs and kisses. I told her a million times how much I loved her and missed her.
Life is so different. I live for her. I want to share every moment with her. Because every moment and memory is better with her in it.
In a few weeks we are going away again, this time as a family, and I am even MORE excited about this vacation. I can't wait to spend the week away with my little girl... it's gonna be so much fun!!!
I also reached the 17 week mark in this pregnancy on Wednesday... only three more weeks until this bambino is half baked. Yippee!
This is a low key weekend for us, other than Gwen begging her Daddy to take us to see Turbo. 3 movies in a month, this girl is on a roll!
