Hubby officially started leave on Monday. Since he has so much time off built up, he has to take some now before he gets promoted. Or else he'll lose it. So, he has this week and next week off before he has to go back in to out process from his current unit.
Yesterday we both took Little Man to school, which off course he was super excited about showing Dad the gym and the "Po-Po" (police) car. Like always, I had to make sure to take his jacket off first before he runs away. Then he gives us both a kiss good-bye so he can get back to playing.
Afterwards? Hubby and I had a date.
It felt like we stepped back in time three years. Just him and I out strolling where ever we wanted and taking our time. We headed to IKEA (I know - of all places) for a cinnamon roll and free coffee and tea (since it was before 10am). Of course it felt weird (only slightly) to be out alone. It's not like we haven't gone out before by ourselves while Gramma and Pop-pop were watching LMA, but this was obviously different. Not to mention the cheapest date we have ever been on!
What was really funny was when we saw an ambulance and a fire truck and turned around to look in the back seat.
We're thinking of hitting up Starbucks and Panera Bread tomorrow morning for our "date". Hopefully, if the new kid doesn't come out sooner than expected (only 9 more days), we'll be able to get three more dates in before our family of three becomes four.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your date! Important to find resources after Baby Boy arrives that can help you do this again. Everyone needs adult time (says your Aunt with no kids).
It's great that you guys are getting to spend time together before NK shows up.
Only 9 more days huh? Crazy!!!
Hey, this is great to hear and glad that you have time before little one arrives. Maybe even after hubby is away you will try to get away by yourself when Gramma and Pop-Pop are there. Important for self time.
