Busy Busy Weekend

Chris and I had our first baby less night this weekend while Grandma and Grandpa Becker kept Ethan. After packing the diaper bag full of 4 outfits, 3 bottles, 10 bags of milk, 10 diapers, a new pack of wipes, 3 burp clothes, and a paci, we loaded our little bundle of joy into the car. Of course we couldn't take little man out without also packing our new car seat swing into the trunk.

Tera, Jake and Toni all came over to see Ethan since they hadn't seen him since he was born. Tera couldn't believe how big he's gotten and Toni loved to see Ethan smile. I guess that's so much better than the screaming and crying they witnessed the first time they met him.

I really was looking forward to having a night out but I wasn't prepared for how much I'd miss Ethan while out. I thought since I was able to return to work relatively episode free that leaving him overnight at Grandma's was about the same...Definitely not the case. I found myself not wanting to leave their house. I even shed a few tears in the car on the way but I knew my little guy was in good hands.

With Ethan all taken care of for the night, the five of us went to BW3 to watch UFC fights. After consuming just three tall beers, I proved to be a cheap date once again! Good times! Not so good times...having to pump and dump over 20 ounces of milk. Getting 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep was just as wonderful however.

This morning, Chris and I woke up around 9:00 and ate a quick breakfast at Buskens before picking Ethan up. Grandma reported that Ethan was a good boy last night providing tons of smiles and only one middle of the night wake up call for food.

Sunday afternoon was spent getting Ethan's three month pictures through Olan Mills. They offer a free portrait package for babies under three months so we had to take advantage of it before Thursday. The pictures turned out so stinkin' cute. I'll be sure to post a few when we pick them up in two weeks.

Ethan went to bed early tonight after such an exciting night at Grandma's house so Chris and I are sitting here watching the Super Bowl with the pups. Go Saints! ( Honestly I could care less who wins but it makes for a good ending to the post.)
