Ok, ok, we've returned. :) Our flight back was LOOOOONG. Our flight out of Milwaukee was delayed. We pulled away from the gate and then sat on the tarmac for what seemed like forever. Then we turned around. That's when I thought, "uh oh". I was right. Our plane had a mechanical issue. So they sent the mechanics (who took forever) to come out and replace a sensor (which took less time than it did for them to get to the plane) and we were on our way. But not soon enough for us to catch our next flight in Atlanta. We missed it by 15 minutes. So anyway, our lay over was long but Maddy and I enjoyed our time walking around, having icecream, people watching, eating dinner. Pretty soon we were on our next plane and were on the ground at 10:30. Maddy was so happy to see daddy as was I! It was so great to be back. After a short car ride home, Maddy was in bed by 11:30. She was one tough kiddo!! She never ONCE lost it at the airport or in the airplane. She was SOOOOOO GOOD. I was so impressed.
Matt did quite a job on the house while we were gone! Our bathroom looks great. He painted it two different colors with a chair rail in the middle. He mulched, put up Maddy's ceiling fan, etc. It looks great in here! Oh and we had the cleaning crew come in and clean, too. It was so great coming home to a clean house!
Yesterday was busy. I unpacked everything, did laundry, caught up on phone messages and email, paid some bills, caught up on the checkbook, etc..etc... just those things that needed to get done. I finally got done folding laundry at 9 PM last night!
Matt ran to the grocery store to get milk in the morning (we were totally out and can't have that) before work and got pulled over for speeding. Sigh, there's one ticket. Then on top of it, his car wasn't registered! ARGH. I THOUGHT I did this. I know I've done a TON of stuff for our cars, I know I did! I am more irritated with the tag ticket than that speeding ticket, honestly. That's the one that tends to be my job that I screwed up on. Darn it. So there goes $$$ to no where!
Last night Maddy had a really hard time going to bed. It wasn't pleasant and it took her forever. Poor kiddo. It can only get better from here on in. But it was pretty miserable.
Today I had my 16 week appointment. Turns out I'm anemic. Who would have thought? Well, Matt did. What irks me is that they knew this after my 8 week appointment but they never contacted me and failed to tell me at my 12 week, too! I could have been on iron this whole time! I do like the doctor's office though. They are very nice to Maddy. The doctor asked Maddy if she likes silly balloons today and he blew up a plastic glove for her and tied it off for her. She loved it. Also, if she's good she gets to have a lollipop at checkout (she's always good) since they have some sitting there. Well, on the way out today she told me she wanted a yellow one. I said, "Well, we'll have to see if there are any in there." I knew there weren't. But as I rounded the corner I saw the receptionist throw two yellow lollipops into the container! It was very nice of her. Plus, they always see me on time and I'm in and out very quickly. Never a wait! :)
Today we scheduled our 20 week sonogram! So exciting. It's not until the middle of November. I am 16 weeks right now. I have enjoyed using our fetal doppler that I purchased. It's awesome to lay in bed and hear the baby's heartbeat. Pretty cool beans!
Well, other than that, not much else going on today. Maddy's cough seems much better today than yesterday which I'm glad about. Annabelle's birthday party is this weekend and I'd hate to see her miss it! We NEED to go grocery shopping REALLY bad. We are so out of food. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday otherwise I don't know what Matt would take to lunch with him.
Have a good rest of the week and a good weekend, too!
