See, I said it was a Fun Surprise!!!
Miss Maci will be a big sister as of end of December 2015. I am currently heading into my 15th week of pregnancy and fortunately, so far so good! Maci is quite excited about the baby inside my belly, which by the way is popping quite a bit quicker this 2nd time around :) At my next appointment on July 13th we should hopefully schedule my C-Section for sometime after Christmas but before NYE. Daycare enjoyed seeing Maci in this shirt on Monday and fortunately no one realized what the shirt said until I had already left - Yay what a fun surprise! Daycare has been asking for a 2nd Mondell for some time now!! Plus we are starting to feel ready for a 2nd now that our former baby went a whole week in underwear and with very few accidents WAHOO =)
Hope the Next One Has This Cutie's PERSONALITY!!
The rest of the week went as planned and before we knew it we were at Thursday and getting ready for the LONG holiday weekend!!!
Thursday - Per usual, we all left work early on the day before the holiday so that meant Clint and I headed out around 330p and grabbed our crazy girl to start weekend fun. After picking up Maci (who bit a friend out of no where on Thursday) we headed to Nordstrom Rack to get her some new gym shoes - her feet are growing like weeds. Miss M loves shoes so much though that she made me let her try on about 20 pairs and begged us for some random teal sandals which we fortunately put back when she wasn't looking :) After our quick shopping trip, we headed to Champs for dinner where Maci wouldn't sit still and the server moved at snail speed.
Friday - We ran all of our errands like grocery on Friday morning so we didn't have to worry about it the rest of the fun weekend. After naps, we headed to the Taste of Minnesota where Maci had a 3 way tie between her favorite things : pony ride/petting zoo, cotton candy and dance party with a kid's DJ. I mainly enjoyed the food, even more so because I am eating for 2 and hungry quite often! Clint loved his juicy lucy cheeseburger but we have a feeling that may have upset his stomach since he had to deal with it on and off almost the entire 4th of July =(
Saturday - Happy 4th of July!!! We had a fairly low key day around the house since Clint was sick most of the day. Maci and I ran out a few times but I mainly caught up on Orange is the New Black and I got Maci to take a late nap so she would be ready for fireworks. Thankfully Clint was feeling better around 7p, just in time to prep for fireworks. We met up with the Cassem's at their house and then crossed the street to the other development where they were having a firework party, vs walking a few more blocks to the park where the fireworks are shot off. Maci was so excited to see her pal Natalie and they talked to each other through the entire firework show just saying "Maci BOOM" so cute!
So Proud of her Beads from the Dance Contest at Taste of MN!
The Best of Friends Ready to Party!
"MOM No More Flash!"
Sunday - Yay, Clint feels better!! Since we were low key yesterday, we had to make up for it a bit with an action packed day today! We met the Zehr's & Cassem's at the Zoo around 930a and it was so nice to see new baby Rowan Zehr! Harper is quite proud of his baby brother and Maci is starting to wonder why she doesn't have a little baby to watch after, not yet anyway :)
After the zoo, Maci took a nap and I headed to get a pedicure. I must be having mommy brain because I had to call Clint to bring my wallet or else I had no way to pay. Thankfully Caroline next door sat in our house for 5 mins while he ran it to me since Maci was napping. Once Maci woke up, we headed to the pool to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day. However, the scariest moment of my life happened about an hour after getting there. Maci was running in and out of the pool and at one point she slipped on the sidewalk and fell hit the back of her head. It didnt look too hard and I heard her crying. As I walked over about to tell her how you need to walk, I realized something was odd. I picked her up and she wasn't crying, she was holding her breath and her eyes were floating around - I am feeling sick just writing this again. I screamed the most blood curdling scream for Clint as I thought she was seizing but as he picked her up he got her crying again and then she quickly started asking for a binky. We took her to get a snack, she talked the whole time, ate it all and then splashed with us for about another 30 mins in the pool. Thankfully everything appears a ok and she was probably just really scared from the fall but that was a total nightmare for what was 30 seconds but felt like time stood still.
After making sure everything was ok and finishing our afternoon at the pool, we went home in time for the US women's world cup game!! Maci cheered the entire game with me and Clint picked us up some Olive Garden for dinner. Maci was playing like her normal self which helped my nerves to slowly ease by the minute. After the US win :), we wrapped up the evening with bath time, books and getting things ready for the week/next day. We are so proud of Maci, she didn't have 1 accident all weekend long with us and she ended the evening with a #2 on the potty!!! I love that lil girl so much and I have given her about 3x the hug after my brief scare this afternoon. Clint keeps reminding me that she is going to fall and things are going to happen but UGH I never want anything to happen to my baby!!
Enjoy your week everyone!
Lots of Love,
C, K & M (4th initial coming soon)
