Date Night - Out Dancing Again!!

As I've written about before, Jason and I so enjoyed all the weekends we were able to go dancing in May and June. Since then, we haven't been able to go dancing; I personally just don't think a dance hall scene is appropriate for a pregnant lady with all the smoke and vibrations. So, we've been missing our dancing time, (although it's WELL worth it for sure!!!); until... we heard about the local VFW having a 'Community Dance' the second Saturday of each month!

So last night we got ready for our night of dancing and headed off to the VFW! I had a huge smile on my face as I was getting ready; for the first time in all our dancing days, I didn't have to worry about how my outfit made me look. I asked Jason, 'Does this outfit make me look fat?!!' and he laughed and joked, 'It's not the outfit!!' We laughed so hard and both agreed that he can only get away with saying that lovingly until March!

So the 'Community Dance' felt like a mixture of a wedding reception and a high school dance. But they had good music from a live band and we had a ball. It was a great fun experience getting to dance and also watching all the kids out there having a ball. It's funny how the seasons change in life and how beautiful each one is! With both agreed this will be a great opportunity for us and our boys to enjoy in the future years! Even though we haven't danced in a while, we did a great job cutting a rug! I must say though, it did feel MUCH different dancing with a belly. My center of gravity was much different which caused me to 'drift' a little more when I would spin. Jason did a great job following me (or I should say my tummy) and we never missed a beat!

So, I do believe that our little boys loved the music as well (it wasn't too loud). They were moving up a storm all night. Guess they were dancing already in the womb! (This morning they were moving a whole lot during the singing at church as well... it will be interesting to see if they are starting to respond to noise more; especially music!)

After dancing, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a mid-night snack for old times sake :)

When we got home, we rested a little while on the couch and our boys were still moving a whole lot. They have been getting so much stronger the past couple of days. So I was thinking, I wonder if you can see them by chance... and sure enough, we could! Both Jason and I were amazed and watching my stomach move with each strong kick! I'm so enjoying these new feelings as they grow and get stronger. So this morning I was sound asleep and an hour before my alarm was scheduled to go off, I was jerked awake as Baby A kicked and moved so hard I thought he was coming out of my skin. He was up and so was I by this point. It sure did scare me and thus I scared Jason! It made us laugh.

Below is a picture of me and our boys before we headed out to the dance (so you can see my tummy).
