We don't have family around us, and haven't had any baby sitters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2307026 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 23:08:55 +0000 lemondrop 2307026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive Garden the night before he was discharged from the NICU. A week later we went out to a quick dinner before my IL's left. We do quarterly dates when wet have family around, need to get a sitter more often. We will have our first trip away from the boys after the holidays. I'm both excited and dreading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2307008 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 22:40:21 +0000 jhd 2307008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had a 7 week NICU stay and we went out for dinner for our anniversary when he was 5 weeks old. The nurses joked with us they were the highest qualified, most expensive babysitters in town. After that we didn't have a date until he was almost 8 months old when DH took me out for dinner for my birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2306985 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 21:44:11 +0000 youboots 2306985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a month.

Gone maybe 1.5hrs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2306937 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:50:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2306937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over Christmas we left her with grandma while we went out to dinner, so she was almost 5 months. Then again a month later, when grandma was visiting. It's been pretty rare! </p> <p>We have only spent one overnight away from her, for a wedding when she was about 14 months- she stayed at her other grandparents house. And we have our first actual weekend away coming up Columbus Day- my mom is coming up to stay with her. I am so excited! LO is just over 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2306922 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:40:17 +0000 LilSprinkles 2306922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3/4 weeks old.

We went out for Valentine's when LO was 3 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-go-on-your-first-date-night-after-lo#post-2306915 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:37:04 +0000 sapphire 2306915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7 weeks for a wedding and then just before she was 5 months. That's it!
