Memorial Day Weekend Recap

We had a wonderful and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Besides the holiday weekend, we were also celebrating our anniversary and Michael's Mom's birthday. On Friday I had my 2 week check up appointment with my OB to check on my incision. Everything is looking great and he told me that I was healing perfectly. I don't have to go back until my 6 week check-up.

The rest of Friday Michael worked and I took care of Mr. Ethan. Friday night we celebrated Michael's Mom's birthday. We headed over to his parents house after Michael was done working. We had pizza for dinner and had fun hanging out with everyone. We also had cake and cookie cake for dessert. We bought Michael's Mom and his Dad for Father's Day a new grill!





Saturday morning we took Ethan to the doctor to get his umbilical cord checked. Most of his cord dried up and fell off last week but there was still a little piece left inside. I had read that if the piece isn't removed it can get infected so I wanted to go see the doctor. Everything was fine, they did have to put a chemical on the remaining piece inside and it was gone in a couple of days.


After the doctor we grabbed some lunch and then I headed out with Ethan to do some shopping. I finally got to drive for the first time in over 2 weeks. It was nice to be out and about on my own without needing any help. I did some clothes shopping since most of my clothes are too big on me. There were some great sales and I got several new pieces for summer. After shopping, I took a nap and when I woke up it was time to get ready and go out for our 4th anniversary dinner. It was our first night out since having Ethan. Michael's Mom came over to watch him and we headed to Wildfire for dinner. 


It was nice to have a night out just the two of us and our dinner was amazing. I started the night with my first drink in almost a year. I think I was tipsy after about 3 sips of my pomegranate martini! For dinner I had macadamia nut crusted halibut with asparagus and a twice baked potato. It was way too much food, I couldn't come close to finishing it, but it was delicious! We did share a cookie skillet for dessert which was super yummy too!




After dinner we headed home. Ethan slept the whole time for Grandma so he made her job pretty easy which was nice. 

On Sunday we were up early with Ethan so I decided to make us some french toast for breakfast.


After breakfast we ran some errands and then we headed down to see my parents and have lunch with them. They were baby-sitting Lily for the weekend while Arla and Teddy were out of town so we got to spend some time with her too! 





We had a great lunch and stayed for a few hours and then it was time to head home. Michael and I were both pretty exhausted from the previous night with Ethan and we both really needed a nap. We came home and slept for a couple of hours. I took my nap with Mr. Peanut!


After we woke up, Michael went and grabbed us some dinner and we just relaxed and watched some tv the rest of the night. 

On Memorial Day we didn't have any plans. Michael made us breakfast, I did a few things around the house and I took a morning nap since I was up a few times the night before with Ethan. When I woke up it was lunch time so we went out for lunch to get out of the house. After lunch and a nap we woke up and gave Ethan his first bath! The doctor told us we needed to wait until the little piece of his cord had dissolved and then we could give him a bath. 


After his bath, he conked out for a few hours and we just relaxed. For dinner I made one of our summertime favorites, a sub sandwich.


We had some dinner, played with Ethan, watched some tv and just relaxed. It was a great ending to a wonderful weekend. I hope all of you had a great Memorial Day weekend as well!
