Its reassuring too, that the marriage hasn't been eclipsed by parenthood.

Personally, I'd go. Or start looking now for a sitter that you can feel comfortable with, and make plans.

I totally agree!

If you get used to going out for short periods now, it will be less stressful (for her and you) if you do have to leave her with someone in an emergency. Use this as an oppurtunity to find a sitter you really love.
