One Last Date before the Big Day!

This afternoon my babysitter came at 2:30.   This in itself is a novelty. As I left the house by myself in the middle of the afternoon I felt like I was having some sort of miraculous our of body experience.  I picked up my husband from work and we began our last date before the arrival of our baby girl.  We drove to a fancy shopping center here in Charlotte and did what I swear we have not done in years…we window shopped…just the two of us.  We walked in and out of gorgeous stores and I pretended I was not a huge whale right now and he went along with it and I held up gorgeous dresses in all shades of funky purple and we agreed on how great things would look in me.  We looked at coats and shoes and dresses.  Then, we moved on to furniture and as you know, I have a weakness for furniture.   Actually browsing through furniture and bedding stores with my husband, who could care less, and having him act like he cared, was precious.

Then, we went to the movies.  This was my 2nd movie in 2 months!  That is the same as saying this was my 2nd movie in the last year, because we never go to the movies.  We saw It’s Complicated and other than the fact that I hate thinking about divorce, we laughed our behinds off.  It was really funny.  And we were all sweet and we held hands and stuff so it was like a real date, ya know?  How romantic.  (It does not take a lot to impress a 9 month pregnant woman with 2 kids 3 and under.)

Then, as if window shopping and a chick flick were not enough, we went to our favorite restaurant and I had my favorite cheese plate and a little glass of awesome wine (I think its fine at this point and it was SO yummy).

When we cam home the kids were asleep and the playroom was clean.

Now that is a kick ass night for me. 

Now I am in my cozy bed and I know how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband, how blessed I am to have Sophia and Miles and how incredible it is that in just a few days we will have another baby girl!  It does not get much better.
