Last November, Matt and I went to see Quantum of Solace with our friends Ben and Marissa. We saw our first preview for Star Trek, which Matt had already been talking about with great excitement.
When the release date flashed across the screen, Ben leaned over and said, “That comes out two days after your due date.” Matt responded by shaking his fists at the ceiling and saying, “Noooooo!”
Even though our due date moved up to four days prior to the release, baby girl decided to let us go to one more movie, and we caught an impromptu matinee this afternoon.
Though we’re grateful for the opportunity, I must note that life has already changed – we had to take aisle seats instead of that perfect center seat, and I was using my left arm for lumbar support by the end of the two hours. (Also – could someone have warned me about the opening scene?)
On the other hand, this is the first movie we’ve seen since November, so it’s not like our life is changing that much. Until baby girl starts requesting animated features, we might be seeing one movie a year instead of two.
Our review of Star Trek? I liked it, though I don’t know much about the original series, and Matt gave it 8 stars on IMDB.
We promise, one of these days we’ll post photos of our daughter. And believe me, that can’t come soon enough.
