round # 2353

March 30th, 2011

we are making another attempt at potty training.. by adding another potty to the mix.. this way.. she cant get off the toilet and ask for her chocolate after 5 seconds.. she is stuck on it until I take her off.. we will see how it goes.. 

the results thus far.. 

I am in love with her little tongue out when she concentrates.. 

within the first ten minutes.. she had soiled herself twice.. oy

I however.. am still playing catch up from my weekend ‘o’ fun..  it is insane.. thankfully the days are flying by.. and April is almost around the corner.. I love the month of April..  to me it is flowers blooming.. babies being born.. family gatherings.. and maybe.. just maybe.. a little sunshine..  

May flowers.. just in time for my little May baby to be brought into this world! yes please.. my pregnancy is coming to an end.. and the others around me are starting to have their babies.. and it brings me comfort that I am almost there.. my baby fever is coming back.. and I look forward to the days where I have a new little peanut to curl up under my chin and nestle around my neck..  My Dr informed me he is going on vacation May 24th.. one day before my due date.. ironically enough.. he is going to Kelowna for his yearly Canadian fix..  but I think this little one will be out before then anyways ;) 

we have entered the phase of pregnancy that brings with it very limited food intake.. (not because I want to ;) little sleep.. and a tad bit of nausea.. I dont recall this nausea with Olive.. at least my hip is getting better :) the part I dont get is how I wake up on my back at least 4 times a night.. out of breath with sharp pains in my stomach.. and then in my tired stupor.. I quickly panic.. roll over to the right side.. and pass back out.. 

these next two months are jam packed.. which is good and bad.. its good when I get things accomplished.. bad when I just want to shut the blinds and sit at home alone..  I am looking extremely forward to Portland though.. we have never been.. and it will be fun to *explore a new little city that neither of us have been to.. 

*I use the word explore very loosely seeing as I will be 36 weeks preggo.. and trying to ride a bike ;)

I want long walks.. to sit and relax in little coffee shops.. bike rides.. prenatal massages.. food.. glorious food.. and just some one on one time with the daddy before baby #2 comes.. (and yes.. I will be bringing my hospital bag.. just in case..)

32 weeks baby!!
