Date nights are so important for your relationship and studies show that dates actually improve mental health. It's a good idea to go on at least a few dates before the baby comes because things to get busier. However, IÂ do encourage you to try to treat life normally once baby is here; AKA bring baby where ever you go. Going out to eat? Let baby come. Of course there maybe times when you might want some alone time, but IÂ think having baby join the fun increases the probability that life normalizes faster. Anyways, here are some date night ideas that are beyond the normal dinner and a movie, plus they are pregnancy friendly and indoors so that you can avoid that fierce Houston heat!
Clay Pottery: Learn to use a pottery wheel together and build an mold something
amazing! Then end the evening watching the 1990 Patrick Swayze movie Ghost!
A Cooking Class: Choose your favorite type of cooking and learn to cook something fancy together. So many cooking classes are offered from Thai to French! IÂ personally would go for Indian or Filipino and my husband would probably choose Italian

Stargazing at the George Observatory at Brazos Bend State Park: See the beautiful galaxy together through telescopes and laser light shows!
Candlelight Quartet: Listen to a beautiful quartet with a romantic ambience of candles as the only light source. The River Oaks Quartet comes highly recommended!
