say it…? Olivia is nearly potty trained… potty trained… !!!
She has had 3 very good days, and today she hit a big milestone. Today she actually told me she had to go, instead of me just making her sit on the toilet and try! My hubby braved the real world with her today - in undies - and she did very well. She had a small accident, but managed to hold most for the potty at home!
Could this be the beginning of diaper-free days? Could it be, she is potty trained before the baby comes! Dare I dream and claim victory??? Now THIS is a good thing:)
OK, ok, I know I still have a week left, but certainly a woman\’s stomach can only stretch so far!
Last night was the hardest night I\’ve had yet. After finally getting to sleep around midnight, I was awake by 2. The pain in my back was so bad, I couldn\’t find a sitting or reclining position that was tolerable — oh add to that rib pain all along the top of my belly. For at least 3 hours I walked about the living room, got on my hands and knees, kneeled, ate 2 bolws of cheerios, tried sitting, tried reclining, tried out the belly belt (but it made baby too rowdy), and walked about some more. All the while, feeling too exhausted to do anything but lay flat on my face. By 5 I managed to find a spot to recline in without great pain and I finally fell asleep.
\”I wanna snuggle Mommy.\” Oh joy, I got to sleep until 7, almost 2 whole hours. \”I need a new diaper Mommy.\” Cool. It\’s poopy. Good times.
Hubby took the kids for a few hours in the morning. I was so thankful… I fell asleep for 3 hours and woke up feeling fairly refreshed. It\’s night again, and I doubt the baby plans to come tonight. So, I am mentally gearing up for the same as last night. I just pray it won\’t be. I keep thinking that if I am not sleeping most of the night, I could at least be snugglin\’ my new babe! Ah, a lesson in patience AND pain management…
The good stuff… friends have brought us dinner the past 2 nights!!! Another is lined up for tomorrow night too. It\’s this support that really givesme strength in the more trying times. Paul and I feel so blessed to have the help…
