Potty Training Day #1

Yes, we are starting potty training! Last night I got our house prepared....

-waterproof blanket to cover couches
-LOTS of underwear
-prizes for when he goes
-m&ms
-potty chart
-LOTS of stickers
-potty game with fun activities
-juice boxes
-potty movie with potty song
-two potties

We were ready! He woke up and instead of putting a diaper on, we started with big boy buzz underwear. I showed him the chart, the prizes, the game, the potty and we watched the movie. He sat on the potty a couple times then I noticed he was wet! ACCIDENT #1. New pair of underwear! Sat on potty, played, sat on potty, played, sat on potty, ACCIDENT #2! New pair of underwear! Must not have been finished... needed a new pair of underwear. I then noticed that to get him to sit on the potty and stay long enough for something to happen I had to bribe him with m&ms. Please keep in mind that I also pushed grape juice boxes on him like they were going out of style! So he would sit on the potty and I would hand him one m&m at a time. He finally WENT on the potty!!!! I was so impressed! In addition to the candy, since he went he also got a prize, a little smurf! About 30 minutes later he said, "peepee!" and ran to me. I threw him on the potty and he went AGAIN! I was so very excited!

After lunch it took a turn for the worst. He didn't want to sit on the potty, started getting tired and didn't feel good. So he went down for a nap and woke up sick. He is now wearing a diaper at the ER with Todd, Mimi and Papa! So I have no idea how our potty training is going to go tomorrow!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
