6 months from today...

*My baby turned 2 1/2 today!
*6 months from today we will be celebrating her 3rd birthday, crazy!
*6 months from today is also my due date, so most likely will have a new baby in the house (since I'm having a scheduled c-section).
 *Hard to believe how different our lives are going to be in 6 months...

Pregnancy does not agree with ME!

I was really hoping this pregnancy was going to be different than my last one. But so far it's actually been worse, if that's even possible. I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, and by 6 weeks I was so sick. I have morning sickness all day! I also have a condition called "ptyalism" (which started at 8 weeks), ptyalism  is excessive saliva & mucus.  I won't go into details because it's pretty gross. But I haven't really been able to leave my house (except to go to dr. appointments) in over a month. I have a lot more vomiting with this pregnancy too. I know, I'm mess hahahahaha. I just hope & pray that as I enter my 2nd trimester I will start to feel better.

I also have to mention how amazing my husband & daughter have been through all of this. Kyle has been so supportive & understanding, he has been so helpful with Rylie too. Rylie has been such a good girl, she brings me water & rubs my back when I throw up.

Rylie is going to be a BIG SISTER!

That's right, we're expecting baby #2!
I am 12 weeks pregnant, due November 11th (Rylie's birthday!)

potty training update

A few months ago I mentioned that I thought we might be ready to start potty training. I knew it was going to be tough because Rylie has "pooping issues".  She gets really constipated, and has to take miralax twice a week (which then flushes her out). We have pretty much mastered going pee-pee in the potty (she even stays dry through her 2 hour nap!) but she refuses to go poop on the potty. She associates pooping with pain & discomfort, so she'll ask to put on a pull-up so she can go hide in the corner to poop (and sometimes it'll take her all day to poop) she hates pooping in her underwear. We've been working on this for 6 weeks now and sometimes it gets a little frustrating because I know most kids are completely potty trained in 1-2 weeks. But I also sympathize with her because I know she has such a hard time pooping. I've talked to her doctor about it and he is not overly concerned, he said some kids just go through this. So we'll keep working on it and hopefully one day she'll realize it's easier to poop on the potty!
