Balancing date nights after baby

Before baby going on dates where easy after baby going on dates is tough not because we don't have a babysitter just because.

Date nights before baby was just about us. We did whatever we want, stay up late and stay out late. And you know when we found out we were pregnant we enjoyed the 9 months before baby was here on many date nights. Thankfully we both knew and understand that once baby would get here our world was about to change, and it was not about us anymore it was about him!

Here we are trying to make date nights and when we do go on a date night we talk, laugh and tell each other we should do this once a month but we don't...why is that well I think I know why:

We don't want to take our time away from a our baby boy
We enjoy being with him
It's all about him and doing things with him
But one thing you sure know for sure is we don't have a problem trying to find a babysitter but yet it's still not easy to plan date night...can you believe that!?!

So when we do have a date nights why do we feel so guilty well is because we are out have a good time why he's home and we don't think it's fair. But good thing he doesn't understand just yet what mommy and daddy are doing...lol.

After all this Fourth of July weekend we had a 15 to go to, and we were sponsor for the ring so we had to go. We had talk about taking our son and than no than yes than no...well what do you think did we take him or not??

Well.....we didn't it was a date night for us!! Yay!! Can you believe it? We had a date night in how many months, well I couldn't tell you because it's rare for us. I can honestly say we did miss our son but the time apart was nice. We got to seat down enjoy our dinner, dance a little, talk and even added laughter in the mix. We want to do something else, but time went by and need to get home so my mom and her husband could get home safely. Thankfully my mom didn't mind as it was her birthday that day and she enjoyed it with her one and only grandson...worked out great for us. Beside that are date nights are putting our son to bed and enjoy some time of just us or making it a movie night at home but have a little one in the middle of us eating the popcorn I made..lol(I won't have it any other way).

With that being said do me a favor if you are first time parents like us make time for yall, for your marriage, and for date nights. Don't be like us do it every once in a while make it at least once a month maybe even more but do it.

I'm hoping after that one date night we will have more in our future instead of every once in awhile...stay tuned to find out!!
