Still potty training...

I bit the bullet this week and decided to take Sadie out of her pull-ups which are just like diapers just with a different name. Monday was tough...she had like 5 accidents with in 20 minutes. Not a big deal...Tuesday got better! She finally got the concept. If she goes on the potty she gets a prize...stickers, ice cream, cookies, candy oh yes!! The rest of the week she continued to do well. We took her out and about on errands and she took naps and woke up dry. She immediately went to the potty when she woke up. She seems very proud. She's even telling us when she has to go potty and last night at my parents I saw her holding her herself and squirming so I knew she had to go. Im a little apprehensive about taking the pull-ups off at night. I think Im just being selfish though. I dont want to get up and have to do it. Especially next week knowing that I have to go back to work. We'll figure something out!

Last Monday was my 30 week dr. check-up. I had my favorite mid-wife, Lisa. She is planning on being there the day of my surgery and told me that even if she wasnt on duty she would have come in on her day off to be there! Im having another dr. perform my c-section. Its not the dr. I have been seeing since day one because she is on vacation the week im going in! If only I had known. But Lisa assured me that this other dr. is excellent and very sweet! So I feel ok about it. When we were listening to baby's heartrate he kept spiking up to 190 everytime he moved around. And he was quite active in there! Lisa wasnt too comfortable with the 190 heartrate even though he would drop down the 160 and then spike back up. She sent me up to the birthing center...my old home...and I was put on a monitor for about 45 minutes. The baby was doing jumping jack or something in there because his heartrate was all over the place. But according the nurse and the dr. on duty the heartrate baseline was about 140 so they felt comfortable sending me home along with a pamphlet and instructions to follow if I go into pre-term labor!!! But so far, all is well and next week we'll see how he is doing in there! Only a little over a month left!!! Yay!!! Now the baby's room is a different story...

Almost 29 weeks and counting!!

I am on the home stretch now!!! Yes, almost 29 weeks and counting! You know youre at the end of the pregnancy when the dr. starts scheduling you to come in every 2 weeks for a visit. So I feel pretty good with that in mind. Sciatica pain...off and on...Dr. Luke the chiropractor has been working on that 3x a week. Hunger...well...if I eat to much my upper back feels like it is expanding into the next room so I find Im not eating quite as much in one sitting and just snacking instead. Hormones...hmmm...Some days i want just need me time...more often now than before. My patience is beginning to wear thin if wasnt already to begin with. Baby's room...wall paper has been scraped...we are waiting on Skip to re-plaster a few spots on the ceiling and then we will being to paint! Weight gain...not too shabby considering all I want to do is eat ice cream and cookies but according to Dr. Royce im right where i need to be! So over all we're looking good I think!!

Sick...

Miss Sadie is sick. Last night after a long cranky weekend, Sadie ended up with the nasty stomach bug! I thought it was something she ate out in the garage with the guys because she appeared much better after she had released it! She started her morning with good intentions of playing hard like the 2 year old she is but after waking up from her 2 hour nap she just wasnt right! She is now sleeping again with a burning fever! I got her to eat some fruit and a "pucculo" (popsicle) but not much after that. She down right refused to drink her juice which was had childrens motrin mixed in! She threw the cup on the floor and told me NO MEDICINE! What else can I do? We will see what tomorrow brings!

Stone Zoo and Children's Museum Pics

Well I didnt make it to the Children's Museum on Friday. My back was in a lot of pain! But Sadie had a blast with Meme, Auntie and Daddy in Boston.

Oh potty training!

Sadie is sooo ready to get rid of all her diapers!! So am I! We have graduated her to pull ups which are her "big girl undies". For awhile she had just been going potty at Aana's house and actually asking to go to the potty. Now she has been going to the potty at our house and asking for it in the middle of the night when she is wet. She has gone a few times and is so proud! We are too!

I have been spending the last week with her and Meme now that I am on vacation. Saturday we went boating on the sand bar in the Parker river. Sadie played with Anna and Maddie Webb. She loved Anna who is very close to her age! Sunday we hung around Meme and Umpy's house and TJ and Gina brought over their to girls. She mostly played with Bella who is 3, and they drove around in the Gator and got rides on the lawn tractor and the four wheeler. Sadie was pooped on Monday! Monday my mom and I worked on the baby's room and mostly finished scraping off the wall paper. Now I have to order some bedding to match the paint to before I can actually paint. Tuesday should have been a beach day but with the heat it was nice just relaxing at Meme's house all day with Auntie. Wednesday mom and I took Sadie to the Stone Zoo. Sadie was excellent and really wanted to see monkeys but there was only one monkey and he looked like a skunk. My back didnt hold up so well and I had to sit down while they saw the wolves. Today we went out to lunch, me, meme, auntie and Sadie. Sadie was ok, a little tired. Me and mom stayed and went to the movies to see Mama Mia and Auntie took Sadie home to nap. Great week so far! Tomorrow we are off to the Boston Childrens Museum with Daddy, meme, and Auntie! Hope my back holds up because I think the museum will so much fun for Sadie!
Pictures will be coming as soon as Meme sends me some! Hope every one is well and enjoying their summer!
