Our First Date Night

Well we did it! Scott and I finally went out for an impromptu date night. It wasn't planned, it was more like spur of the moment, get me away from the baby for a few minutes. My mom mentioned that we needed to get out because I was starting to feel really stressed out and missing Scott. Believe me, you miss your spouse because there never is time for just the two of you anymore. So after thinking about and knowing we had the gift cards that we had been saving for date nights once Chloe was born. I told Scott as soon as he walked home, were taking Chloe to my parents and were going out for dinner.

So as I prepared for date night, I tried to pump enough milk for her so she could eat while we were away and of course since it wasn't planned, I had a hard time getting enough milk to make myself feel better knowing she would have more than enough. So I learned that I need to pump throughout the week, freeze it and have it available for date nights and when Mommy needs to just get out of the house for awhile. So the bags are on the grocery list to get.

As I dropped Chloe off with my parents all I could think about is I know she doesn't have enough Milk and I feel guilty even though my mom told me she thought what I had was enough. We weren't going to be gone long. So the whole time while we are trying to enjoy our evening out all I could think about was her being fussy and hating me for leaving her with not enough milk. What the heck is wrong with me? Scott told me to get a drink and I did and it loosened me up a bit but I still was worried.

The entire time we ate, all we did was talk about Chloe. Funny how you get away to just be "US" again and we just go back to talking about Chloe. Next time, I will refrain from talking so much about her. But I guess since it was the first time I had been away from her for a while and needing someone to just talk about how I am feeling, that was all that was on my mind was her.

Next time we have date night, there will be no baby talk! Can I hold that promise will see! ;)
