Need honeymoon but feel guilty & anxious

Im a stay at home mom and have been with my daughter everyday since she was born (13 months now) and we are going away for our honeymoon for 10 days. I know we need a break and need to have some us time but I dont know how I can not be with my baby for 10 days. She will be with my parents and she loves them so thats not a problem. Im just worried shes going to think we abandoned her. To make it worse we are going to Disney and be around kids and I know Im going to be like we should have brought the baby. We are going to take a mini honeymoon for 2 days after our wedding (honeymoon is a few months later when its cooler and rates are cheaper) so Im hoping that eases my worries but then again we will be 45 min away and I know if I want to get home I can.

My best friend (MOH) and her husband had a 2.5 year old when they got married. They went to Disney on their honeymoon and stayed in the Grand Floridian for 2 or 3 nights by themselves, then had her SIL (who lived/worked in Disney) bring their son down for another 4 or 5 nights so they could be with him. If someone was willing to fly with your daughter, you could always do something like that. You get your alone/honeymoon time, but then still get to experience Disney with her and not be sad she's not there.

Thats a good idea but its too much to do plus we are driving and stopping at other places on the way home. We are taking her to Disney when she is 5. Im sure I will end up buying half the park for her lol

I have kids and almost never leave them so I totally get it...and in all honestly its going to be awesome and stink at the same time..all you can do is call her or skype and just remember its 10 out of 365 days and it will make you squeeze her tighter when u get home...then I usually let them sleep with me for a day or two because I feel so guilty..LOL
