Date Night Fail

Friday night, after a rough week, I thought date night would be nice.  We haven’t done much lately just the two of us that doesn’t have something to do with prepping for the coming baby. 

I wore a new shirt.  I had and my jean jacket.  I looked in the mirror and thought, ”I look cute pregnant today.” I was about to walk out of my house when I realized my leggings were on inside out.  I laughed and changed quickly before my husband picked me up. 

We enjoyed a nice dinner.  I was careful to only eat half my food so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable full.  After dinner, morning (all the time) sickness kicked in and I had to run to the bathroom.  Needless to say I vomited on myself.  The pregnancy hormones kicked in and I wanted to cry, I was so upset.  I made my husband stop so I could get a new shirt.  I didn’t want to ruin date night (any more than I already had), but I wasn’t going to sit through a movie smelling vomit. 

I found a cheap maternity shirt, changed and was ready to resume date night.  For some reason, we thought it would be a good idea to see Riddick…in IMAX.  Of course we thought it was a good idea, baby not so much.  She had no problem telling me she wasn’t happy either.  As the violence in the movie progressed so did the violence in my tummy.  Eventually, I had to walk out and calm my baby down.  The hubby got to watch the rest of the movie alone.  On the way home, we enjoyed contractions mixed in with lots of movement in between.  At 4am baby was still reacting. 

Afterwards, I felt like such a horrible mom.  Of course the noise was too loud and the vibrations too much.  How did I not think of this?  It is good preparation for being a mom, there is a lot I will have to learn, and I will only learn as we go along. 

It is official, date nights have changed and life will never be the same, but neither will the love.  The love is so much stronger.  In retrospect, I can’t help but to laugh.  This is the stuff sitcoms are made of.

From now on, date nights will just have to wait until the baby’s Aunties K²  are ready to babysit.
