Mondells in Minneapolis: Spring Time and Hoping to Start Feeling Fine!

This week's weather for the most part was AMAZING and a welcomed reminder that Spring is here and warm weather is about to stay! Unfortunately Miss M still hasn't fully kicked the sickies as we had a few "interesting" puking incidents this week which make Clint and I in the running for parents of the year ;-)

So let's see what were we doing this week?

Daycare - Maci had a fun week at daycare and fortunately only 1 of her 3 puking incidents occurred here this week. We were also fortunate that it was at the very end of the day and seemed to be a fluke (1st one of the week) so they let her come back the next day (Thursday).

Fell asleep sitting up in her snow suit to go outside - this was at the beginning of the week when it was still some what chilly in the morning.

So beyond daycare the end part of our week got pretty "exciting." After the "fluke" puking at daycare Wednesday, Maci seemed just fine and went on with her Thursday like any other day. We went to swim that night and she LOVED the pool as usual. However, she has now started jumping into dad - such a big girl. Afterward, we did our usual dinner with friends but decided to do Five Guys burgers instead since Applebees took so long last time. We no sooner are about to put Maci in her high chair and PUKE everywhere. Poor restaurant goers that had to see this because I am sure I wouldn't want to eat. However, like Wednesday, Maci was perfect afterward, even ate dinner and never ran a temp -weird! Then Thursday night I woke up and PUKED - UGH! This isn't good. . . I was too weak on Friday to go to work so worked from home and actually took a 3 hour nap - GEESH! However, it seemed to be done, or so we thought.

The weekend came and we were excited to have the break! Friday night, I met up with two girlfriends for happy hour (Jaycee & Halston) while the guys met up with the babies at Ryan & Jaycee's house. I opted for Diet Coke since I wasn't quite sure how my tummy would do with liquor at this point. Saturday we had the usual gym and Maci was quite excited this week to be playing with the others. We then ran some errands before meeting up with our friends Gena/Vinny and their lil guy Emmett for a twins game. The babies did great! I was worried with Maci walking that she wouldn't sit still but we got there in the 1st inning and Maci was great up until the 8th inning when we decided we had enough fun. She sat in Clint's lap eating her snacks and pointing at all the action going on around her. The Twins even hit a few homers so the kids saw fireworks - so fun! Afterward we took a family nap and decided to go to Olive Garden for dinner. Everything was going fine until. . .Maci PUKED again! Ughhhh I mean 2x in one week at restaurants!! This time Clint and I were a little more subtle, cleaned it up, got Maci and I out of there and he paid the bill. However, she once again seems fine afterward and has kept all other meals down as well as no temp. We have decided to not attempt any more restaurants with her until this seems to be gone once and for all :( Poor kid! So today we are chilling around the house. Maci is napping right now, Clint is watching golf and I am about to get some work done before meeting two girlfriends for pedicures. Nice little Sunday if I may say so myself :) Please pray that we have no more buggies in our house this week! Work is getting too busy and I don't have time to deal with feeling yucky!
