babysitter

this is a milestone! after 6 mos and 12 days, we hired someone to babysit our bebe..something we had never done before..!
h would let me be out at times with my girlfriends to be away from bebe ( which is a healthy thing for all you moms out there--my own escapo though it lasts for only 3 hours ) but then i know that h is at home taking care of b. now, with this wedding, it's our VERY first time to be out on a date, alone, without b & his car seat.. --nerbyusness ako.
we've rsvp'd that we are coming a month ago ! yet, we were torn for a short moment because today, bebe's friend j is celebrating his 1st birthday at chuck e cheese..and to tell you frankly, i have never been to chuck e cheese. i sooo want to be there. h would always find a reason not to go there and he has been quite successful..i wonder what's in that place..! add to that, our neighbors cum friends will all be there which explains why we have no one else to leave b with but a sitter..
anyhoo, how i envy the wedding! the invite said it'll start at 4pm and at EXACTLY 4 pm did they march. the entire wedding lasted for only 15 minutes. and by 5 pm we were at the reception. i wish that happened at my wedding. my invite said 6pm and for reasons unknown to us, we started at 7pm. looking back, that is the only thing i regret. i should have marched at 6 pm, with or without my entourage..oh yeah, my bridesmaids were late..now i remember! tsk..
back to the wedding, our friends including h said the food at the wedding is not that good. well, they were wrong! the chicken cordon bleu was fabulous! as well as the baked beans, potatoes, chicken and fish fillet..and the dancing..i had to control myself not to dance...
by 8 pm, we picked up b from his sitter. he was asleep in his car seat & all buckled up & wearing his pj's . tita j had given him his bath even without my instructions..it's a good thing i packed his pj's just in case we'd be late and tita j who has a fetish to give babies a splish splash took the initiative to do so....we did not want to wake b up that is why we did not remove him from his seat to his crib..he looked so peaceful! i wonder what his sitter did!
twas a fun date with h ! i really enjoyed the night with him! plus talking to his colleagues too..they were all fun to be with..
lastly, i am proud of myself that i did not call tita j the entire wedding. ok ok, i called once around 745pm because i just want to let her know that we were on our way to pick up b. i felt safe naman si b sa kanya..so no worries!
hmmm..till our next date!
