Baby Fever

There is more than just the flu going around this season.
I caught baby fever.
I want a baby bad.
My sister is pregnant and I am so enjoying watching all the steps of her pregnancy, the growing belly, baby clothes, planning the shower, building the nursery, pinning Pinterest pins...
Of course I am not the one with the morning sickness, but still, you get my point.

But last night, I think my baby fever was quenched for a while.

My husband came home from work, and because of the snow, I couldn't go to work, so we had the evening to ourselves. He took me to Panda Express (we are in college people) where we sat and just talked about deep stuff, how God was working in our lives and how far we have come this year. Then we went all over finishing our Christmas shopping. He was patient and loving even though I knew he doesn't like shopping. He made me feel like he was fine with it because he was with me. We came home, and watched the Big Bang Theory while I tried to craft together some Christmas presents.

I say all that to say that I thoroughly enjoyed a totally not fancy, totally spontaneous, wonderful date night with my favorite person alive. I got home and realized if we had a child, this would not be possible. Is there such a thing as date night as parents? Of course. But the thought that we could just decide I am going out and doing whatever and I don't need a babysitter or to worry about anyone but the 2 of us was refreshing and relaxing.

I know that kids are worth it. I know that I don't even know what I am missing out on yet.
But for one night, I enjoyed just being married and not being a mom.
I enjoyed just being Mrs. Dunn out with my Mr. Dunn.

Marriage really is the greatest and I need to just breathe and be present and enjoy this moment, this season of our life.
