Last week I was finishing up my last week of summer school and Nick was working days, so our parents offered to watch Mady for us in Port Arthur. We met them in between here and Port Arthur on Sunday to drop her off, and met back up on Friday to pick her up. This was the first time we were home without our girl and, boy, did I miss her! It was really hard dropping her off. I was already missing her days before she was actually gone. It's a lot different being at home without Mady. Everything in the house was a reminder that she was not there. One night we ate dinner at the table and it was so sad seeing her little placemat and chair all empty. We decided to either eat out or on the couch after that, haha.
While we did miss her so much while she was gone, she had a blast with her grandparents. We are so fortunate to have grandparents that love her so much and want to spend time with her. Thanks again guys for watching her! Nick and I enjoyed having some time to ourselves too. Not having to plan days around naps and bedtime was so different. One day after my classes were done at noon, Nick got off of work early and we spent most of the day together. It was so much fun! Made me remember why I like him so much ;)
This past Friday we picked her up and it felt so good to have her in my arms again! We had a great weekend together hanging out, the three of us. Only five more months left of that!
Tomorrow we start potty training. I won't lie, I am dreading this a bit, and not looking forward to it at all, but I think she's ready. When she comes to me with a diaper and says she's stinky, I think it might be time. We are trying the 3 day method, which means we will be home for three days working on potty training. No more diapers after tomorrow! Pray for us please. Mainly for me to have patience through all of this, and for this to be an easy transition for her.
Tomorrow is another exciting day because I have my next doctor's appointment. I get to hear out little one's heartbeat again, which I just love. I have been feeling really good lately, and remembering why every pregnant woman loves the second trimester so much!
Here are some pictures of all the fun Mady had while she was gone:
