I am away from my daughter right now. On a business trip. Hours are excruciating 6-10/11 pm with back to back meetings (lunch in the taxi sort of days). She's still asleep when I start and she's asleep by the time I end. What should I do? 4 day trip and my baby is a newborn. :(

It must be crazy hard to be away from a newborn because of work but in the long run, all that you do is for baby's benefit so don't be too sad, yeah? Get your husband or helper to take videos of baby interacting and you send them some of yours as well so baby can hear your voice. If the time difference isn't too wide, arrange with your partner or helper to FaceTime or Skype with baby during lunch or whatever breaks you have. For now, just power through your work and know that at the end of it all, you get to go home to your baby:) Stay strong!
