Or - Will I ever get to use my HT again?
My wife and I have a two month old son, Calvin, and he's a pretty cool little guy. He's our first. Let me say right up front, in no way (anywhere in this post) am I complaining about my son. Words can't express how I feel about him.
However...
My question to all the knolwedgable parents at the HTF is simply this - when could you start watching movies again? I have not seen a movie in over two months! And I don't mean going to the theater, I'm talking about my dedicated HT in the basement.
I suppose its his sleep schedule (or lack therof) that is keeping us so busy. Or, is two months just too early to be able to have a couple hours to yourself?
Any tips or tricks you could share in finding some free time? Closest family is 5 hours away, so dropping him off at Grandma's for the afternoon is out of the question.
I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that things will settle down where we'll have some time to ourselves - other than after 9PM when he's finally down for 3-4 hours.
Please, tell me movie night (or movie time) still exists...
