Current mood: hungry
Good Morning! and Happy Friday!!!! It's Mia's weekly blog time! This is the second to the last blog before her baby brother gets here! Again, I hope I will still be able to carry on the tradition of keeping up with Mia's blogs but its still up in the air if I will be able to juggle it all. If I do manage to be successfully in the balancing act of taking care of a brand new Baby Newborn and The Mia Monster, I know the next couple of weeks at least (or month), they will be very small and short... but we will see.
So far this week has been pretty exciting! We started off the week with the Cardoso BabyShower in San Diego! Though it was 100+ (unexpected heat wave... of course) we all still had alot of fun, especially Mia. She loved running around with all her cousins and getting into trouble. She even got her very own "Big Sister" present filled with tons of cute things, she loved it! Her new saying when she opens up a present is "How Cuuuuute!" I wonder who she got that from?! haha She also got to see her good friend Koa who came to the shower all the way from Orange County with his Mommy (my best friend) and Daddy. Overall the party was a big success, lots of family, lots of friends and lots of presents!
The rest of the week has be BOILING! except for yesterday, in which we had thunderstorms all day! So we kept inside the whole week. Mia didn't mind though, she kept herself busy by getting into the baby things, playing with her toys and trashing our house like always. I have noticed that she has become more clingy to me lately and doesn't like me out of her sight. Last night I went upstairs to put some laundry in the washer and right away she noticed I was gone (though I thought she wouldn't since she was so into watching her Elmo show) that I heard her calling from downstairs "Mama? Mama???? Mama where are you?!?!?" It was so cute I just had to come down and hug her.
I am still a little... ok ALOT nervous on how things will adjust, be, change once the baby is here. Especially when it comes to Mia, I don't ever want her to feel rejected or left out or have any resentment for her brother or myself. All I know is its going to be a huge balancing act, but I am up for the challenge... I think?! haha
Night time is still a challenge, she NEVER wants to be left alone in her room anymore. She always throws a huge fit and cries. Infact she starts crying as soon as you start walking to the door and she will literally run and try to put her foot in it so you can't close the door!!! Its heart breaking, especially since I know I won't be able to do our bedtime routine with her anymore but I still need to get so much done and prepared around the house before the baby is here that I can't stay with her until she falls asleep. When I try all she wants to do is chat about her day (literally... she says random things that happen during the day) and play. As much as its work getting her to bed, I am sure going to miss our little Mia and Mama bonding moments.
Mia's halloween costume finally came in the mail, I had to reorder a bigger size since the last one didn't fit her (too small) and she LOVES it. She is going to be Wonderwoman (since her baby brother will be Superboy). It is the first costume I have ever put on her that she refuses to take off! haha
I also made the mistake on introducing her to something maybe I shouldn't have. Ice water! Ya, it doesn't sound so bad, but now thats ALL she demands "Ice Agua? Ice Agua?" Thats all I ever hear anymore! She won't even drink cold water anymore it has to have floating ice in it!!! Spoiled butt! haha
Well thats about it for the week. Its 6am and I am getting sleepy again, and hungry. I think I will take a little nap before the little munchkin wakes up or before the little mini-munchkin in my tummy starts squirming around again haha Ahh... KIDS!
