On Friday the IL's will be having Penelope over for her first sleep-over and our first date night since she was born. We are sooo looking foreward to it and need it desperately. We will probably be going to Sapporo East for some sushi and wine and then renting a movie and sleeping-in!! Can't wait, but am nervous that I will be thinking of Penelope the whole time and will want to call every hour that I won't be able to fully appreciate the time out/away from her. Please share your first date-night post baby experience. will I be so consumed by P being away that I won't be able to enjoy, or is it irrational for me to think that? Thanks!!
BFP #1= DD, We've been TTC DC #2 since 8/11. BFP #2 on 4/18/12, BO confirmed on 5/21/12, natural mc 0n 6/1/12. BFP #3 on 10/11/12....
Of course you will think about her, but try not to worry and have a good time. DH and I went out for date nights (just a few hours) long before we were away overnight. I don't think I ever called to check-in, but I was always excited to get back home and see DD. It actually wasn't until just last month that we were away from her overnight. DH was recovering from surgery and his parents offered to keep Claire overnight. I was thankful for a break, but it would have been much better had DH actually been able to do anything. I was so ready for her to come home! I was bored out of my mind!
