Travel without child
We are so looking forward to next week, but I'm getting a little nervous about being away from Abby for 8 days. She is totally in good hands with my Mom. We have calling cards (cell phones can't be used) and will use Skype. However, I'm wondering if Abby sees us on the computer and can't touch us she'll be more upset. Does anyone have good experience with this?
She's used to one of us being gone because Tim travels a lot for work, but not necessarily both of us. And she LOVES her MiMi...

Re: Travel without child
Yay!! Have so much fun. My suggestion... only skype or talk to Abby when she is well rested. Luke spends the night at my parents once a week and our weeks are so hectic that sometimes it seems like I don't see him for days. There have been a few times where I've talked to him on the phone when he is tired and he has MELTED down and just screams Mommy.
But, when I talk to him when he's rested, he seems to do fine. We video chat with Daddy while he's at work and when I used to do my Master's classes we'd video chat while I was at school, that always was super fun. But, keep the tired thing in mind. She is going to miss you more when she is tired.
Have soooo much fun!!!
I don't have any advice either, but want to say that I hope you all have fabluous trips and everything goes well with the LOs back home.
We are going away for 1 night without Eli next month (first time since he was born!) and will talk with him over the phone, but 1 night shouldn't be a big deal since grandparents have put him to bed and gotten him up in the morning before.
We've used Skype in the past for Brielle and her mom. At the time she was in her early 2s and honestly getting her to sit still for a conversation with her mom didn't really work. She would sit for a few minutes and then take off, leaving me to Skype with her mom.
I know my boss really liked being able to see her baby, but as far at Brielle was concerned, she didn't seem to really understand it. The phone went much the same way. She is still too busy to talk very long with her mama. She is also used to being under someone else's care without Mama around, so for Brielle, Skype was an interruption in her playtime. She never got upset, she would just wander off...
That being said, even with those outcomes, I would still try to Skype and call if I were going on a vacation without Delia. I would need to see her, even if I trusted the caregiver's completely, I would just want to see my baby...
