Re: i want nothing more(sappy)
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

Ditto. We spent our first night away from Jeffery when he was 18 months old, but that was mostly because we were overseas and had very few people we trusted to watch him.
It does return, though initially in spurts. Do you have family nearby? Make sure to take advantage of free sitting when you can, even if it's just for a few hours. It is a necessity!

We do have family...they watch him during the week and I'm pretty sure they would keep him every minute if we would let them :-)
But...right now we both have guilt for trying to take any time for ourselves...I know we have to...but it is so hard...
I am just starting to sense this happening too....I feel detached from DH even though we spend almost every moment together with the baby. We have a date night this friday and I am looking forward to it. DS will be in good hands with both my MIL and mom to watch him. I am not looking forward to the mommy guilt though. Thanks goodness we have this board to find reassurance and words of encouragement! Hang in there!
The first year is hard, it does come back though. B loves spending the night with my parents and it took me a LONG time to be comfortable with him being gone overnight, especially since he didn't sleep through the night until close to a year.
The last 2 years though, he spends at least one night a month with my parents, sometimes more. It's nice to have my DH back and makes me realize how important that one-on-one time with him is, where we're not talking about B.
