So our wedding anniversary is coming up and my husband and I haven’t really had a date night or time alone since our son was born last summer. Adjusting to being new parents and married has been tough and we both feel that some alone time will be a great way to get the romance back.

We love our son to pieces and take him with us everywhere, he has never been out of our sight! Recently we decided to have my mom come down from NY to watch our son for the weekend of our anniversary and my husband and I will drive to Orlando that’s about 45 minutes away and go to Disney or universal studios to celebrate.

Now this would be the first time leaving him with someone other than each other and it’s causing anxiety and guilt in us both. We are now considering bringing him with us and planning something else but we were looking forward to having some romantic time and reconnecting just us two and my mom is excited to see her grandson since being born outside of just FaceTime. He will be 8 months when the date comes and we feel conflicted about leaving him behind and then coming back on Sunday after leaving on a Friday.

What do you think we should do? What’s your personal experience ?
