Growing up, my grandparents lived in a small town that hosts a HUGE annual arts and crafts fair. I have NEVER missed the fair, even when I was 8 months pregnant with my son and had preeclampsia!
My daughter was born last week, and everything is going well. She's a quiet, "normal" baby (we had a preemie with our first--a preemie with colic), and my c-section has healed amazingly well. I've been given a go-ahead from my doctor to attend the fair if we so desire. The fair is 3 hours away, and we would stay with my parents while we would be there.
The main problem is that our son, who is 2, is still in the process of adjusting to life with our daughter.
On one hand, going to spend two nights with his grandparents may be what he needs to get the attention he's being deprived of currently.
On the other hand, it may make the transition even more difficult.
My husband and I are stuck, and although I REALLY want to go, we want what's best for our son.
Any insight?
