This past weekend we went to Kristin’s friend’s wedding in Milwaukee and left Braden with Kristin’s parents overnight. That meant we were both free for the first time, though Kristin still had to get up in the middle of the night to pump. Still, it was nice to get a full-night’s rest.

We celebrated our sixth anniversary on Sunday. It was a year ago that we began telling people we were pregnant. What a difference a year makes!

We had dinner at the Tornado Steakhouse this year. Braden fussed most of the time as he usually does when we go out to eat, so he had to sit in our laps once again.

We took Braden to Art Fair on the Square twice over the weekend (all three of us went Saturday morning before we left for the wedding, and just Brian and Braden on Sunday while Kristin worked). He slept the second time.

Uncategorized anniversary, going out

Yesterday (March 3) was Braden’s one month birthday already–how time flies! We can’t believe that a month ago at this time we were in the hospital.

Braden is now more than 10 lbs. Kristin found out from the lactation specialist that we’ve been feeding him too much. Apparently he’s not always hungry when he cries; some times he just wants to be held. So now we’re cutting back a bit.

Today (March 4) is the 10-year anniversary of our first date. On March 4, 1999, we had dinner at Paisan’s (when it was at University Square 4), then we rented “Happy Gilmore.” We also made plans to see each other over spring break, which was the following week.

If someone had told us back then that 10 years later we’d be married, own a home downtown and have a one-month-old baby … wow!
