Randy and I have a date this Friday! A real, honest to goodness, get of the house for dinner and a movie date. We haven't done that since I was five months pregnant. A friend and her fiance are coming over to play house Friday night...I don't actually mean that as condescending as it sounds. If anything, babysitting twins is about the best birth control there is. This, too, could happen to you!
I'm thrilled at the prospect of being able to get through a meal with Randy where our arms are empty of baby. I love my babies, but they're kinda near-constant on the attention scale. So, dinner out and the Watchmen. Yes! Superhero movie!
I LOVE superhero movies. I'm not quite sure why that is, but I always have. Probably part of it is because I don't enjoy realistic violence but, if there's a guy in cape and tights running around it's obviously an alternate reality and therefore not real. I mean, I enjoyed 300 and that was terribly violent. But yeah, superhero movie! Batman has always been by favorite superhero...well, except for a couple years in the early 90's when Superman eclipsed him, but hey, Dean Cain was VERY cute in blue tights!
I think the odds of us falling asleep during the movie are fairly high. It's 2 hours 40 minutes in the dark. The only reason I think we may not is because action movies tend to be loud, but then, I've lately been falling asleep to Batman Begins, and that's a loud movie, so who knows.
Susan, whose twins are 18, said she and her husband feel asleep during a play during one of their first dates. Though, with the way the girls are sleeping I think we're getting more sleep than even parents of single babies at this point. Last night Mae slept from 11:30 p.m.-6:30 a.m. without a meal or diaper change. And she seems fine. Eve slept 11:30 p.m.- 4:30 a.m....I'm nervous about it and yet...they wake themselves up when they need to. During the day they are very active and eat normal amounts of food. Maybe we lucked out in the sleep department.
In any case, I've got a date Friday night with a very good-looking man. And I'm sure I won't miss my babies too much...right?
