Blowouts & Dilemma

Yesterday my boss, Jr., was talking about babies having blowouts. They had been talking about it on the radio. Well, Cheyenne had one this morning. She was sitting on the floor while I took a shower. Scott was in the living room with her and she got a little fussy so he picked her up. After I got dressed I went in the living room and could see a spot on the back of her pj's. That's why she was fussin'! Scott didn't want to change her so I did. It was all up her back. Since she had been sitting on the floor it had no where to go but up! I changed her and took her pj's off and it was all over her back. Since she has been eating baby food her poop is a little thicker so it was real nice to clean up. Scott was going to take a shower so I put her in there with him. As he was getting in I felt something wet on my shirt. I had ahold of Cheyenne as she was standing on the sink. I looked down and she was peeing! I quickly put her over the sink, but not before she got it all down the front of me! I handed her to Scott and started cleaning everything up. You can't help but laugh when they do these things! Scott especially thought it was pretty funny!

Blogger won't let me upload any pictures right now so I will add it later.

Ok...here is my dilemma: Scott and I are thinking about taking a little vacation in November. We are probably going to drive up north somewhere. He was thinking either Yellowstone or Niagra Falls. It is about a 20 hour drive either place I think. Niagra is a little farther. Do we take Cheyenne with us or leave her with family? In some ways I want to take her but in some I don't. Scott and I have never had a vacation like this by ourselves before but that is our fault. It would be a lot of time in the truck for her too. But it would be a nice first family vacation and she is young enough that she wouldn't complain too much. I don't know if I am ready to leave her for about 4 or 5 days yet. I've only spent one night without her since she was born and that wasn't even a real night. ( we got home at 3:15 am and I was at my mom's to pick her up at 7:45 am) I would have to pump a lot if she didn't go since I am still nursing. That may be a little inconvenient at times. Am I a bad mom for leaving my child at home? Will Scott and I enjoy ourselves or will we worry about how Cheyenne is doing? Will we enjoy ourselves if she goes and we can't do somethings because she is fussy or too young? I keep going back and forth with myself on what to do. If anyone has advice please feel free to give it.
