Grandma Janet is BACK & with Aunt Molly & Her Friend Katie!!!

On Monday Maci and I had our regular Mommy and Me Class at 10a.  Before we left to class, Grandpa Jack packed up the car and headed out to Ohio, Nanny Kathy had left on a plane late Sunday afternoon for Houston to be with Aunt Patter on her Birthday!  Mommy and Me Class was AWESOME as usual!  We have our graduation and last class next Monday.  This makes me really sad but I know I have made 8 other new mom friends and Maci has 8 built in play dates for many years to come!  We are getting together this week on Thursday evening for a Happy Hour at another Mommy's house - FUN!!!  After class, I told Maci that Grandma Janet, Aunt Molly and her friend Katie were on their way to visit and WOW was she excited!!

 WHEN DO THEY GET HERE?!?!?!

We were very excited when they pulled into the driveway on Monday around 5p!  Clint had taken the day off to make a 4 day weekend, to see his dad off and to help tidy up the house in prep for their visit!  It was great to all be here and finally see them again!  We let them get settled and ordered some Pizza Luce for dinner!  I then drove them around the West End, Lake Calhoun and found the Mary Tyler Moore Show house for my mom.

Tuesday was the big Mall of America Day!  Molly and Katie had a blast running around on their own while mom and I went in very different type of stores, say baby clothes haha.  We ended up all being ready to go after 5 hours at the mall around 5p.  Maci was such a good girl this day. She napped in the stroller and we stopped only once for her scheduled bottle at 2p.  Molly and Katie were quite impressed with the Mall and I am sure they would love to come back.  We then had Chipotle for dinner and went to the TJ Maxx by my house for a little more shopping - I was going to wear them out!!

Today Mom and I went to Maci's 4 week hip check up.  The Dr says they feel much better from week one and she cant feel any more movement.  She only has a concern still on Maci's Left Hip that it is still fairly tight and she wishes it would fall more.  However, she wont really know until she sees the ultrasound next Friday because she feels Maci is so strong she just may be holding it tight.  We have 3 scenarios next week at the last check - 1) she is good and weens off the brace by wearing to bed for a while - 2) there is improvement but not all the way so she would wear the brace longer on the full time basis - 3) it is worse or no improvement and then we need to talk surgery.  We are very hopeful that we are not in the 3 camp and we are saying big prayers for the 1 camp!!!  Please keep Maci, her hip and anxious parents in your prayers too!  I would love to have the brace behind us before I go back to work on the 18th of April.

After the Dr, we woke up the girls who love to sleep in, I remember doing that one day B.M - Before Maci!!  =)  Today we went to Uptown and did lunch some walking and a little more shopping.  Again Maci rocked!!  Afterward, Mom and I went on a walk with Boomer and Maci.  I then wrapped up the day going through my jewelry and headbands and giving away lots of old stuff to the girls.  Mom and I watched HGTV which was our favorite thing to do during her last visit and Clint fed Maci before bedtime.  We will miss all the company and like Jack and Kathy, cant wait for them to visit again!!!!

 I LOVE MY GRANDMA JANET!!!  I remember her helping me when I was sick with RSV!!!
