Busy Weekend!

After sitting around during the week the weekends seem extremely crazy! We don't get many chances to sit still. Friday was already going to be crazy and then took a major turn really fast. Matt headed off to hockey while I hung out with Brode and got all my cleaning chores done, but hockey didn't last too long as Matt has been pretty sick and had a hard time breathing. He came back here by us, then we all headed to the doctor to check him out. After a couple hours of sitting at the doctor and running around for medicine he ended up in the hospital. I came back home as the baby boy was ready for some food, only to get a call that Matt has to stay overnight. This turned in to very bad news because he was not happy about staying, it was my first night alone with Brode, and Matt wouldn't get to see the LaCrosse girls who were visiting.

It was pretty hectic but I finally made it to Kelsey's with the little tyke to see the loves of my life and introduce them to their "nephew". Luckily they tired little Brode out and he slept amazingly that night, making it easy on me my first night alone with him. Saturday wasn't going to be any more relaxing. We had coffee with the neighbor ladies in the morning so they could all see Brode. We got a huge portrait package as a gift from the neighborhood families so I'm extremely excited to go get Brode's pictures taken! He gets newborns, 5-6 months, and 8-10 months all taken. So after he got passed around over there we came back here for him to get a quick nap in, then the LaCrosse girls came back over and he got a second dose of love from them. As they left Chris Otto and Andrew Ziemke stopped over for a bit, then Brode finally got some food and a good nap. Not for long though, we packed him up on the stroller and took a walk in the gorgeous weather and made many stops for more neighbors to see him. He took another break as we ate dinner, got all packed up again and we headed over to see Claire and Casey. It was late night number 2 as we got home and put him to bed at 10:30 and he slept soundly for a long while after his long day.

Today shouldn't be nearly as bad, maybe a couple visitors otherwise just laying around and enjoying the weather. This is my first week alone with Brode so we'll see how it goes, hopefully the nights aren't too long. My dad is coming home in the afternoons so I can maybe fit a shower or a nap in.


Enjoy the beautiful weather today!
