We're out!

Last night Rob and I went out together for the first time since Ari was born.
That's just over 5 months ... yeesh!
For the last few months we've been tag-teaming to go to movies, gigs and functions, but last night we headed out to the bright lights of High St Northcote for Aunty Lauren's birthday.
Lovely Aunty Shelley looked after Ari for the night.
But Operation Go Out Together was not without its hitches.
Ari was a bit weird all day yesterday - our normally deliriously happy baby was a whingey little fella and just didn't seem himself.
And after weeks and weeks of smooth 7.30pm bedtimes, he would not go to sleep until after 9.30pm.
Maybe he's teething and unsettled, maybe he wasn't quite tired enough. But Rob and I are going with the rather crazy theory that he just knew we were going out for the first time and didn't want us to go!
So in the end we had about 3 blissful hours of just being our normal, baby-free selves again. We dressed up, drank beer and chatted to our friends.
Everyone asked us if we felt weird leaving Ari. Absolutely not. In fact, I reckon staying home with a baby all the damn time is weird. As a married couple, we have to have time out to ourselves.
We can't wait to do it again. Next stop, Finn Brothers and Mercury Rev later this month.
