Baby Two...How are you? And Jack's attempts at Potty Training.





Today we got to see Baby Two up close. I almost wet myself because we had to wait twenty minutes in line to get checked in..some lady thought she could just come two hours early and get squeezed in..and I followed the directions and drank plenty of water. Too much in fact. They made me go pee so my bladder would stop squishing the baby. Geez people make up your minds...don't mess with pregnant women's bladders :) After getting settled they measured everything twice because we had a girl doing and internship for ultrasound tech. And determined Baby Two Stats: head 17 cm, waist 15 cm and weighing in at 13 ozs. At lesat that is what the computer said. It also said the due date based on size would be 7/12/10. Which did not make Momma happy. I think that must be based on averages. So baby might be a wee bit of a peanut like big bother Jack was. Guess I'll have to get to eatting more cookies.
The second part of the story is getting home from the ultrasound and Jack's newest trick is to pull down his pants and decide he has to go potty. (Of course there is a Lighting McQueen Potty involved here) So he sits on the potty for a while. Mostly he just grunts. And then he wants down....he runs in his room. I go to get a new diaper and he heads over by the rocking chair. Which I guess he decides to pee on the side of the chair. So we get that cleaned up and a diaper back on his bum. I head downstairs to help Glenn with dinner. I look up the stair case and see a diaper in the hallway...but no Jack. So I'm thinking oh great! I run upstairs and he's standing by the potty buck naked but at least no messes. After a breif chase we get him pinned down and re-clothed. So moral of the story: yes he might know he needs to go potty but no he's not ready to potty train yet because mom is not ready for pee-ing all over the furniture.

Snow, Snow, go Away!

With the thaw we've had the last week...I'm hoping for spring. I can't wait! I have a ton of spring things to get done before baby #2 comes. I want to get the flower beds cleaned up, our drive way is getting paved :) and I'm hoping we can plant a small veggie garden. If we can figure out a dog pee-ing proof method here. The neighbor dog is really bad about that...and Spike can't let anyone mark his spots.
Our ultrasound is next week Friday. We are not going to peek at baby's sex...but it won't be that much longer until we know any how. We have four babies that we know of due on July 4/5. So far we've heard two of them are boys. Jack and Glenn are hoping for another boy for their hockey team...and I'ld have to say I'm hoping they get that boy.
