It's a really tough balancing act. We have it down pretty well now but it sucks when it rears its ugly head again (like yesterday being unable to enjoy my first visit to Quincy Market in Boston). It is natural it is normal - you love Ian right? It's just hard finding a balance especially when he's a particular sleeper. Don't feel bad it does get better as the sleep pattern settles down.Maine Mummyhttp://mainemummy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488679637248241617.post-10032139491462075352010-07-26T09:35:30.698-05:002010-07-26T09:35:30.698-05:00It can be tough to feel like you are stuck at home...It can be tough to feel like you are stuck at home. I remember taking N to walk around a store or the mall just to get out of the house. It does get easier.<br />Date nights might also have to be a little different. Maybe picking up takeout and watching a movie at home while the kid(s) sleep... at least that is what we do sometimes. www.simplymodernmom.com is doing project 52, with a date night a week. She has some great creative ideas for dates at home. It isn't quite as much fun as getting out, but better than nothing!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179763360468342838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488679637248241617.post-77324737736037033702010-07-26T09:13:57.327-05:002010-07-26T09:13:57.327-05:00I wish I could comfort you on this, but we're ...I wish I could comfort you on this, but we're in the same boat. My guy goes to bed 7/7:30, and then I make dinner for the hubs and I and we watch a movie or some TV. I don't go out unless it's during the day. Although, about every couple weeks I will go to Michael's Crafts or to the bookstore at 8 pm, by myself, after the babe has gone to bed, leave the hubs at home. It's kind of nice to get away by myself. I never take him out at night, we're in by 6:00 so I can do the dinner and bath routine for him. I'm sure I should be more adventerous and take him out, but I like it so much when he goes to bed on time and sleeps through the night, he needs his sleep and so do I! :)Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079004128313407490noreply@blogger.com
