*Yawn* boy am I pooped!!! Wow, what a fun filled day in ....San Diego..... Today was Mia’s cousin Baby D 2nd Birthday Party and Cousin Adan’s 3rd Birthday Party. We all have been looking forward to attending the big bash, but I was unsure if I would be well enough to make it. My pregnancy sickness has been in full force lately and it has me on the ropes. However, my hopes were raised a bit since the last couple of days my sickness was mild. I was excited to be able to go and even went to bed extra early the night before so I could be well rested for our big day. Unfortunately, the moment I woke up in the morning the sickness was bad TWO FOLD! OMG I was dying. I was so upset that I would not be able to make it down for the parties. I laid on the couch most of the morning fighting with my stomach and feeling miserable. Then ....Adrian.... woke up and I broke the news to him that I would not be able to make it with him and Mia. He was sad, I was sad… Mia didn’t know what was going on. I moped a bit then made a decision against my better judgement! I didn’t care how I felt I WAS going to go to the party and have fun if it was the last thing I do!
So we all got ready and out the door we went. I felt alright on the road, a bit better from earlier but still bleh. Mia did GREAT on the road, she didn’t fuss once and slept most of the way (which is a rare treat for us). By the time we hit ....San Diego.... a horrible headache OH NO! but wasn’t too queasy.. thank goodness. Once we got to the party I was alright but the strange thing was I was more queasy when I got off the car than driving in it.
Everyone was so happy to see Mia again. She hasn’t made a family appearance since Thanksgiving so it was a big treat for all of us. She was a bit shy at first and refused to walk into the crowded kitchen so Daddy had to pick her up and take her inside. Right away everyone commented on how cute her hair was. It was all poofed out and curly. I didn’t do this on purpose, infact the more I tried to fix it the more poofy and curly it got!! We said hi to the family and had a great vist. We even got to meet the newest member of the family.. Baby Gabby (a tad bit over a month old). She was so tiny and sooooo ADORABLE! It really got me excited about our little baby on the way.
We all went outside for a bit to get some food. Mia was greeted by her biggest fan, her cousin Brianna! Brianna adores Mia and always acts like a little Mama around her. She was even feeding Mia fruit and Mia liked the attention. Brianna became Mia’s little shadow for awhile and even tried to help her get into the Jump-for-joy. We had to stop them because with the amount of kids already bouncing around in there Mia would more certainly get trampled on.
Daddy bounced Mia on the outside of the jump for joy a bit and soon it was Pinata time!!! Mia got to take a few wacks at it and some even by herself! She seemed to LOVE it and smiled and laughed. When her turn was over she got MAD and refused to give up the stick. It was quite a challenge to get that stick away from her. When the Pinata was finally broken apart Mia and her Dada ran into the pile of kids and grabbed candy. Mia loved to put little candies in her little bag but was upset that all the kids around her were picking them up faster than she could! So it was her Cousin Brianna who came to her rescue and picked up some candy for Mia and put it in her bag for her. Awww…. After that Pinata was destroyed they brought out another one. Mia got to hit that one too but wasn’t to interested in it since she rather hold her candy bag. She became obessed with that little candy bag and refused to let it go. She loved taking each candy out one by one, lick it then put it back in the bag! Haha Eventually the other kids destroyed that other Pinata and candy went flying. Adrian and Mia ran in again and this time ....Adrian.... picked up a huge hand full and brought it to alittle grassy area away from the crowd. He placed the candy on the ground so Mia could pick them up. She had fun doing that and was even more happy she could do it at her own pace without having little kids taking away the candy.
After the Pinata it was cake time. We got to sing Happy Birthday to Baby D and Adan and later Daddy and Mia shared a piece of chocolate cake! Yummm! Mia played a bit more and ran around and had fun. Later she got on the swing chair in the back yard and she LOVED it! Little kids were pushing her on it and she was laughing and screaming and got so excited she started to shake! Haha We couldn’t get her off of it for anything. She eventually stayed on the chair so long she started to fall asleep!!! Haha
The rest of the visit went great. We had lots of fun catching up and chatting with family. Everyone congratulated us on the new baby too and it was great to finally be able to talk about it. Eventually it got late and it was time to go home. We put Mia’s jammies on and off to home we headed.
Mia stayed awake most of the ride home, reading street signs (aaa-see) (that’s how she reads all letters) and talking. At one point she even started to sing, it was really cute. We knew she was really happy and had lots of fun. Eventually she fell asleep and we made it home. I gave her a little snack and off to bed she went.
Wow what a fun filled day. My eyes are burning now because I am so tired so I need to get some rest. I just wanted to write a quick blog about the fun we had today!
