Memorial Day Weekend

Well, our holiday weekend didn't get off to a very good start, but it turned out to be a great weekend. On Friday night, we were supposed to go and meet the pediatrician at 7:45. Matt wanted to eat out after the appointment, but I really wanted to eat a healthy meal at home before we went since we would be on the run all weekend. So, Matt agreed to grill some chicken breasts before we left. When he reached into the cabinet to get out his grilling mitt, my mandolin slicer fell out, and he instinctively grabbed it, and sliced off the top of 2 of his fingertips.

So, we headed over to urgent care. The cut on his index finger was a complete cut, so there was nothing to do besides wrap it up to stop the bleeding. His ring finger wasn't cut completely, but they couldn't stitch it either, so they tried to tape the skin back together, & we're just hoping that it heals. So, needless to say, the pediatrician visit was rescheduled, and we ordered a pizza. Sometimes I think Matt will do anything to get his way. :) Here is his wrapped up hand and the culprit:

Saturday morning, we headed up to Milwaukee to see the Mets play the Brewers. We stayed at the Hyatt downtown, which is the same hotel that the Mets stay at. We got to see a few of the guys walking through the hotel, which was pretty cool. Here's Matt heading into Miller Park on Saturday night:

Unfortunately, they lost on Saturday night. So, on Sunday morning, we woke up and decided to head back to the park to see if we could catch a win. We sat out in the left field bleachers, and it was scorching hot. We sat behind some REALLY annoying and drunk high school kids. At one point, the girls were admiring their "adorable" belly button piercings. Matt suggested that I show them how "adorable" those piercing holes were going to be when they are 7 1/2 months pregnant someday, but I spared them the fear. :) We had a great time at the game, and the Mets won!!! We took this week's belly picture in front of Miller Park. We've started joking that the baby is like our little "Flat Stanley" (if you don't know what that is, you can google it) because we take pictures everywhere that we take her. :) 32 weeks, 3 days:

When we got home on Sunday night, we decided to have a fire on the patio. We ended up hanging out around the fire until about 1 a.m. It was so nice to relax outside! Monday was our catch-up day. We worked out in the yard & worked on the nursery most of the day. Monday night, we headed up to The Foundry to watch the Blackhawks win their 2nd game of the Stanley Cup Series. It was a great end to a great weekend!
