Nationals Baseball.

So on August 31st Iris celebrated her 3 month birthday. I was sad going through newborn pictures, re-read her birth story and realized my little baby is growing up already.

And then I realized, it's been 3 months since I've gone out without my baby. Conveniently, my sister got Washington Nationals tickets from a friend and didn't feel like using them. She called home, and asked if the family wanted to use them. Our family are big Nats fans so it wasn't hard to come up with which 4 wanted to go. My family suggested Tommi and I taking 2 of the tickets since we haven't gone out since the baby and Tommi had never been to a MLB game before.

I gladly accepted the tickets and at first figured we'd bring the baby. Tommi and my mom thought that wasn't an option. With how far away it is, with how hot it is outside, and with how gross the atmosphere would be for her. So I was outnumbered and the baby stayed home.

I called my mom on the way there to tell her Iris' eating and sleeping schedule.

Then we got to the stadium and they were GREAT seats. We were on just the first section up and there was only about 8 rows in our section. We were close enough to see who the players were before they announced them.

Then I called my mom again during the 7th inning stretch to make sure she was ok. She assured me she has taken care of a baby or two in her lifetime. About that time I relaxed and started to really enjoy the game.

As you can see in the video my dad and brother came with us. And Tommi was having a blast. My brother caught a foul ball and we ended up winning 10-0. All in all a fun time and I needed to be away from Iris...if only for a little bit. I did sneak in another call to mom on the way home too.

Maybe next time we leave Iris it will be just the two of us. No promises it'll happen anytime soon.
