Bittersweet

Happy Friday. 

This week it seems as if time has been quickly slipping through my fingers.
This new mommy life has been so rewarding; but it definitely comes with its trade offs.

Time, being one of them. 

I am happy I have the time right now between caring for my baby girl, to get a post up to you all! 
 It's been pretty cold here in MN,
 as always,
 and I have been having a huge case of cabin fever. 
 Itching to get some fresh air, my sis invited me and 'A' out to celebrate my future brother-in-laws birthday last night. 
We headed to the science museum for an exhibit featuring the Chemistry of Love. 
Perfect timing for Valentine's Day.
Afterwards, we went to a local spot, Senor Wong's for apps, drinks, and some Karaoke!
It was a blast, but bittersweet!
Bittersweet because I missed my baby girl. 
It was the first night I have ever been without her. 
And although, she was in good hands with her grandma - I couldn't help but feel like a part of me was missing. 

You know that feeling you get when you don't have your purse? Like something just doesn't feel right. 
Like you don't feel complete; something is missing... 
That's the feeling.
'A' reassured me to just relax and enjoy my time apart. And I did. We did! It helped that I called my mom a couple times and had her and my baby sis send me pics of my little chubs :)

It was a overall a great night.

But now I can go back into hibernation with my baby girl. 
Snuggling and hugging. Kisses, coos, slobber, and spit-up. 

I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Hope you have a great weekend!
