Last night was our first 'night out'. A month ago, the idea didn't seem that bad, so I booked tickets to go see Unwigged & Unplugged at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore, MD. I thought it would be the best surprise for Brendan since he is a big fan of Christopher Guest films and their music. I also made reservations at the Owl Bar (known for their fish & chips, but my fish turned out rotten) for dinner. All went well, except my perception of time was pretty poor and dinner had to be rushed and I had to keep Brendan walking at a fast pace to make the show on time. (Such plans with a post-preg mush brain can be pretty challenging)
I was 66.9 miles, 1.5 hours away from Konrad. Miriam was home with him, which was wonderful and even better, Shawna and Ruby would pay a visit, but what worried me was this was the first time he'd have to go to sleep without me, how would Miriam get Konrad down for bed? My thought was that he would most likely cry himself to exhaustion and then pass out. The thought of that made me nervous. But I kept telling myself, it's ok... he'll be fine... baby's cry for weeks all over the world for food, comfort.... it could be a lot worse... he needs this.... he'll be fine. When we left the theater, I literally was ready to run to the car and get home to Konrad. I called Miriam on our way and got the report that sure enough, he cried and cried and looked all around for us and cried. Oh I felt terrible, but now more for Miriam.
But, the show was great. Brendan was surprised and we got to hear all the great tunes from Spinal Tap, (Brendan got a t-shirt), A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, and more.
