I'm not going to lie, your life will change a lot. ?DH and I went out all the time. ?Mostly we went to friends houses for BBQs, baseball games, trips to the mountains, weekends away with a big group of friends to a cabin in the woods, and other things. ?We still did all of that while I was pregnant. ?The only difference was I did not drink and DH drank less than he normally would have (his choice). ?We still had just as much fun.
Only one other couple in our group had a child, 2 1/2 years old, and she was baby sat during most get togethers by her grandparents. ?I always brought my son since we didn't live near any family. ?I spent a lot of time feeding DS and trying to keep him comfortable and less time enjoying myself (though I still did). ?Life chances and you change with it. ?All of our friends would help and hold DS for me. ?Even ones who aren't ready for kids still loved when I would bring my son. ?If I wanted to drink I pumped BM and all the girls would help take turns feeding him (He wouldn't take a bottle from me.. most BF babies have a hard time getting a bottle from the mother). ?If we drank we both drank would also stay the night (not that I ever have more than 3 since DS wakes a few times a night and early in the morning). ?We would bring our pack and play for DS. ?There is nothing we did before that we can't do with DS. We never went to bars only drinking at friends homes.
Sometimes I would leave DH at the party and he would get a ride home later or I'd get him in the morning since DS sleeps best at home in his crib. ?
I have never gotten mad at DH for staying out when I go home bc I choose to go home. ?He also never goes out alone without me bc all of our friend are friends with both of us. ?
There are times I get frustrated about things (normally caused by extreme lack of sleep). ?Like wanting to eat my food hot and be able to sit down for a whole meal without getting up to do something for someone else. ?But that is what being a mother is, taking care of your children and putting their needs above your own. ?Every mother gets upset and frustrated.
Are there things about my pre baby life I miss, sure. ?Would I ever want to have that life over having my child, hell no. ?
Wait until you are sure you are ready for the change and your husband as well. ?Its a big one but it is an amazing one!?
