Hi Kat.
I have only just come back on forum after not having chance for a cpl of days, so haven't seen this thread til now.
You must have been going through such turmoil until the decision was reached finally.
I know it's all over as far as your baby going or not going, is concerned, but just wanted to say that I too would never have allowed my son at that age to go on a plane or away from me for 3 days.
I don't understand though - if they were wanting him to take her to meet them and they wanted to meet her that much, why won't they come to you to see her? Surely it would be more fair to you and easier for them to go to you - they wouldn't have the awkwardness of having to feed a baby on board, change her, soothe her etc.
That would not have been the best of times for her to go anyway, as others on here have said already, even though it is a sad time for your partner.
I hope you feel relieved now as far as yr daughter's concerned. Hope you don't feel too low for yr partner though - he will probably feel better for going under the circumstances - of what went on between him and his father before he died.
You are still going through a change in your body too, so it has been a lot on your plate to cope with. It hasn't been long since the upheaval of giving birth. It is quite a traumatic time, even though happy occassion, for our bodies to go through.
Try and rest up as often as you can.
Hope the time passes quickly for you for when he comes home.
