[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, admittedly I have not read through all the comments because, from the ones I have seen, they are incredibly judgmental and just so different from my experience.

My experience: when DD and DS were about 3 months old, DH and I took a vacation, by ourselves, for 3.5-4 days/3 nights. Left kids with the grandparents.  Both kids were very colicy, it was the first time I had slept in a bed since having each (they would only sleep on me), and I CHERISHED that time to recharge.  I was also nursing, pumped enough to have a stash by the time we went, no problem.  Frankly, it was a much needed break before going back to work.  I think 5 days is a bit much for a 2 month old, but in general I support the idea.

For Pete's sake, do not take the baby with you.  That is a trip, not a relaxing, stress-free vacation.  I had PLENTLY of time to bond with baby (I also had a 16 week leave).  I echo PP's sentiments, moms give themselves 100% to baby during the first months, and you should do what's right for you to be able to be 100%.[/quote]

OP here. We will most likely just do Florida for spring break. DH will take older kids for a week and I will probably go for a shorter time (2 nights?). Alone or bring baby to be determined AFTER baby is born. [/quote]
