When is the right time for date night?

So my hubby and I scheduled date night for this week Friday — LO is 14 weeks (just over three months). The sitter who is watching him was his PT nanny since he was 2 months, so she knows him well. But whenever she's been here, I've been home. On our date  night, we'll be a five minute walk away (we're just going to have dinner at a spot a few doors down from our house) — but I'm so nervous! My friends with kids tell me three months is a good time to start date nights and focus on reconnecting with your spouse about something other than being parents. 

Has anyone else done their first date night since baby?

    The first time we left our son with grandparents was at four weeks and that was a daytime date. Since then we've had grandparents over to our house twice in the evening while we've gone out with friends. It definitely helps us to feel like a couple again!

    In two weeks (he'll be 15 weeks) he'll go for his first overnight at my parents' house. I anticipate missing him like crazy and wanting to pick him up at 10pm!

    We went out for a drink and a bite to eat alone when our LO was one week. We try to do a date every week. We are very lucky to have two sets of grandparents happy to babysit. It's so important that you have couple time.

    Early and often. We try to go once a month.

    Thank you all!! I was feeling guilty for scheduling a date night (I'd already rescheduled it twice!) but you guys have made me feel like I should go and enjoy it! :)
