After DS1, we had our first (and it was overnight) date night at 3 months pp! DH had tickets for the Lion King and a hotel room booked at the local casino/hotel for Valentine's Day.
We are planning on a seeing a movie next week for our first date night and it'll be just shy of 3 months too!

After lo1 it was at 4ish months (we went out for my 21st birthday) and it was 2-3 hours at the most
lo2 is 8 weeks and won't be leaving lo for a few months yet.
Only time I'd spent the night away from lo1 was when I gave birth to lo2

At 7 weeks for a wedding and then just before she was 5 months. That's it! We have help but it's just sometimes a pain to coordinate schedules.

For DD1 we went out for DH's work holiday party when LO was 1.5 months...but I don't really count that as a date night. We went out for Valentine's when LO was 3 months

Our first will be coming up soon when LO is 8 weeks. It's our anniversary (or close enough to it) and luckily my mom will be in town to watch the baby!

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!
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.

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.

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.

We went out for dinner for my 30th birthday then for our anniversary when DS was just over 2 months old.
We went out for dinner a few weeks ago for our anniversary and DD was just over 2 months too. We almost never go on date nights though.

We haven't after LO 3. We take her with us when we go out to lunch when our toddlers are at daycare/preschool.

We go out to dinner a few times every time the grandparents are in town. First time was when LO was six weeks old. It was GLORIOUS. Actually every time has been amazing.

Did our first this past weekend, right at 3 months. We did lunch and pedicures. We won't do overnight for a looong time.

It was really early. About a week after she was born my MIL came over and we went to an afternoon movie, which was really nice.

First date night for drinks, dinner, and a movie was about two months pp (and I fell asleep during the movie). First overnight was that summer when DS was 7 months old.

I don't even remember, but it was when DS was a bit older in his infant years. My parents watched him for a couple hours so that I could go see a movie with my cousins!

We had a double-date night at 1.5m, and a just-the-two-of-us date night was for our anniversary dinner at 5m.

8 weeks, but we just went out for a coffee and cake in the afternoon for a couple of hours.

I think it was at 2 months with R. My parents watched him and we went out to an early dinner.
With T, honestly I can't remember.

Our first date was a lunch date when DS was about 3 weeks ago. Had wine, delicious seafood and it felt good to be out and about for just a couple of hours

We had a local wedding at 2.5 weeks, my mom/sisters watched DS for a solid 6 hours. And then a work Xmas party at 3.5 weeks, a friend watched him for 4ish hours. Both went fine bc I was EPing so he took bottles like a champ
