We decided to brave the movies as a family. Yup, that&#8217;s one momma, one poppa, one Grandma and one baby. The most important thing you have to know about having a schedule with a baby is that there really is no schedule. HA! You could be right on time to leave the house then Bam! Diaper Blow Out!! &#8211; You\u2019re knocked back 20mins. In this case we were only 10mins behind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alas, even if we had gotten to our regular theatre 10mins early, we would have still been S.O.L. the movie was sold out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lucky for us, \u00a0Baltimore county is populated with many theatres.

An older woman and her daughter sit in front of us. We apologize in advance and she proceeds to tell us that she is a new grandma herself so we have no worries. She knows how it is.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>10mins to showtime <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; We pose for a snapchat photo and I ask for a prayer. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Showtime 4:05<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The lights start to dim and Micah lets out a protest or two. Sigh. At this point the promos start and I realize that he might not be as ready to settle in as I thought. Quick thinking takes me to the aisle where we start bouncing. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>4:15<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; As predicted, Micah started crying.

After burping and after a few bounces Micah still cries. We just couldn&#8217;t get comfortable in those seats and I don&#8217;t blame him. Our first movie choice would have been better.
