Dry all day!!!

Olivia was dry all day in her big girl underpants!! I have been terrible working with her at home using regular underpants but we decided to dive right in this weekend after they put her in them at school on Friday and she didn't have any accidents. Saturday did not go so well. I think she had about 10 accidents. Sunday was much better. She had 2 accidents but both times she was trying to make it to the bathroom and just didn't make it quite in time. So this morning I put her in regular underpants and when I picked her up she was still wearing the same clothes. She was dry all day!! After Saturday, I thought it was going to take FOREVER. I felt bad though because I got a little upset with her on Saturday when she seemed to think it was funny to pee on the floor and I raised my voice a little. Yesterday after she had one of her two accidents, she asked me not to scream at her. I thought I was going to cry. I didn't think that I had screamed at her but that must be how she took it. Anyways - it seemed to work so I guess I shouldn't feel so bad. I made sure I told her many times how proud we were of her.

Over the weekend she got into the ENTIRE box of Pet Shop band-aids and put them all over herself. She loves stickers and band-aids. At least it's cheap entertainment!

Sean watched Olivia on Saturday while I went to Furnitureland South to look at baby furniture - specifically for a new glider/rocker chair. If you have never been there you have to go. It is the biggest furniture store I have ever seen and you can usually get things 50% less than regular stores because they carry pretty much all manufacturers. It literally takes a full day to see everything. We bought Olivia's furniture there and our living room furniture. I didn't really find what I was looking for but I did find myself a new kitchen! It was made by Habersham and it was AMAZING. I have never heard of it but apparently it's been featured in Architectural Digest. There were no prices listed for the kitchen but there was a huge closet that retailed for $122,000. It wasn't really my style but it was still pretty neat. Attached are some pictures I took with my IPhone - just got that too and I LOVE IT!! I wish I hadn't waited so long:)

Cankles

I've been a little bitchy this week because the cankles have finally made an appearance during this pregnancy. I had them really bad when I was pregnant with Olivia and was hoping that I wouldn't get them again but they made an appearance the other day and haven't left. My feet are HUGE!!! And they hurt like hell. Those people who say they love being pregnant are either #$&@*!( crazy or full of @#$*. Sorry - just had to vent a little! I've only got 11 more LONG weeks to go so I guess I just need to suck it up.

We've all had a bit of a cold this week too. I picked Olivia up yesterday from school and she was crying when I got there. Her teacher said that she hadn't been feeling well all day and then asked me if she sleepwalked at home. During her nap she apparently stood straight up and was looking around but didn't hear anyone talking to her. They said it was really strange like she was sleepwalking. They layed her back down and she went back to sleep. It made me think of something strange that happened the other night. We put her to bed and about a 30 minutes later I heard her on the monitor get out of bed and run across the room and back and then it sounded like she was back in bed and asleep.

We're still working on the potty training. She drank a lot of milk last night and woke up at 5 am this morning saying that she peed. Her sheets were wet so I changed her and put her back to bed. She woke up again at 6 and came downstairs to watch tv in my bed while I was getting ready. I was in the bathroom and I hear her say "I'm sorry". I asked her why she was sorry and she said that she had peed in my bed too. So I had to wash all of these sheets tonight. It's 10:30 and our sheets are still in the dryer. Potty training stinks:)
