Anth looks up with panic in her eyes as she has been looking forward to said date all freaking week.
Dh: If I don't get at least 1000 on the GRE, I'm going to Mexico. I will be in no state to be around other people.
Anth: Well, that's true. I'll just go on the date by myself then. (No sense in wasting a perfectly good babysitter.)
Five minutes later...
Dh: Crap! I don't have a valid passport. (Pause.) I guess I'll fly to El Paso and smuggle myself into Mexico.
Anth: Just make sure you call me before you go.
Dh: No, then you'll try to follow me.
Anth: No I won't. I don't want to be around you if you do badly on the test. You'll be psycho.
Dh: Once I'm drunk, I'll be fine.*
Now it's Saturday afternoon and I am pleased to report that Dh does not have to smuggle himself into Mexico in order to avoid anyone he knows and get himself into a drunken stupor. He got well above the minimum requirement! Woo-hoo! I am really proud of him. He has been sooooo stressed all week, and freaking out about all the vocabulary words he didn't know. But he did a great job! (And we can go on our date tonight and have FUN!)

Pregnancy update (31 weeks, doctor's appointment on Valentine's Day):
- I've gained 24 pounds. I'm okay with that.
- Despite consistently measuring 4 cm big in December & January, I am only measuring 1 cm big now. (So why are the stretch marks getting worse???)
- Apparently I really am supposed to take the blasted iron pills.
- The NP recommended I befriend someone with an indoor pool. Not her most helpful advice.
*This is only funny if you know that we never drink.

Congrats to your hubby!!
Hurray for Dh and for your date! I'm happy to hear that everything is going so well with your family and with the baby.
Thanks to your DH being so stinkin smart the double date was so much fun. And I am relieved I didn't have to send my DH after him.
I hope your date night was awesome!
Dang iron pills. I bet I'd have more energy if I took mine more than...once a week or so.
Congrats to your husband. That is a BIG accomplishment and I know he is thrilled (you both are) to have that behind you! Yeah for date night!
