Freddy and I had our first date night since the arrival on Noelle! We could do anything...and we chose to go the movies. We saw "Sherlock Holmes." Before we had our little princess, everyone said "Go to the movies. You will miss it once your baby arrives." Wow - wasn't that the truth. Erin and Tommy were our babysitters. I wasn't nervous to leave her, I was more nervous about how she was going to act. I didn't want her to cry the whole time. I wanted her to be the perfect little baby that she is! Even though we have playdates with Erin every other Friday, I still made a long list of reminders for them:) What have I turned into?! I wrote down... times to give her a bottle and how much, when she goes to bed and how she likes to be held, gas medicine to give her and how to tell if she has gas, etc. I probably was a little paranoid - but it was my first time leaving her. I left my cell phone on vibrate during the movie just in case they called. I wanted to call during the moive, but Freddy said "Relax, she's fine." It was the LOOOOONNNNGGGEEEESSSTTT movie ever. I kept checking my phone - did they call, what time is it, is this movie almost over? I should have gone to a movie that was 1.5 hours vs. 2.25 hours. Well the movie was finally over and Freddy said it was okay to call and tell them we were on our way home. I didn't even ask Erin how she was doing? How's the baby? Is she sleeping? Did she eat? Did she need me? Did she cry for me? Did she have gas? Well she was an angel (of course) and everyone had a good time. I think her mommy did pretty well too.
Thanks Erin and Tommy - you rock!!!
Love,
Noelle's Mommy
