Painting the town red...
So next tuesday will be our 2 year anniversary. No we are not married yet, we've been together for two years, and thats a funny matter all on its own. It seems the older generation asks as soon as they see the baby, how long we've been married, and the look on their face when I say "we arent married", its like all of a sudden we are dancing around in hell, as they give the head tilting "Oh?!?". Anyways I want to take my fiancee out, just the two of us. It has been 10 weeks since our son was born, and the last few weeks Candice was pregnant, we werent out all the time or anything, and I dont know if that is too soon or not. Im wondering when you first leave your child with the grandparents. There is no way I am ready to get a babysitter, but family I feel a little better about. I know that my fiancee will be wanting to come back home right away so I am trying to think of a good spot to take her. And the last problem is, dinner sounds so boring, and a movie you cannot talk to each other, and we do not have time for both. Im guessing we will be gone out for maybe 2 hours, and Im wondering a good fun activitiy we can do in this town. When did everyone else leave their kids in someone else's care? How long we're you gone for? What did you do? Any help in the matter would be great.

Happy parents make for happy children. Always make time for each other. That being said... it is a hard question. I still haven't left mine for a night and I still don't think I am ready to do it. I will leave them to go out for supper and I feel as long as you are comfortable with whoever will be staying with him it will be nice. Candice will still probably want to get home after a couple of hours but that is totally normal,for the first time and even more. Dinner and a walk if the weather is good. Enjoy your anniversary!! Let us know how it all turned out!
ReplyDeleteYou should both go out and spend some time alone together - it will be good for you (though hard to leave your little one!) - but you are due for a break! Maybe "break" isn't the right word because I'm sure you love every second with him - but I agree with Jennifer above: Happy parents make for happy children.
ReplyDeleteWe left Bree with my parents for the first time when she was about 1.5 months old. We just went to dinner and were only gone about 2 hours. I know you say dinner is boring but it's nice to relax and eat and talk. Though you'd probably just talk about the baby the whole time - we did! :) Go out - ENJOY YOURSELVES! - Trina
Grandma and Grandpa will be there...a dinner out alone is a lot more exciting once you are sleep deprived. It's a time to re connect and talk about the baby and your life together.
ReplyDeletewe left Jude with my Mom when he was two weeks old for our 6th wedding anniversary and we went to the pub (so romantic, I know). We were only gone an hour and he slept the whole time. We haven't gone out very often because of our sleep issues (Jude's) but we definitely need to more often. it gets easier to leave them as time goes on, I was gone for 4 hours today and if you leave him with grandparents there is nothing to worry about. so go out and enjoy the break.
