26 mo. and officially Potty Trained...

I was determined to get him potty trained before baby #2 came. I started right before Christmas and thought...i'll just see how it goes. No pressure, lets just see. We had good and bad days, but within a week or so he finally got the peeing down.
Let's just say pooping was and is another story. I pretty much now know how our poor mothers felt when they used to use cloth diapers. Cleaning underwear is the WORST! Takoda is finally doing great on going in the toilet for #2 for now but it takes patience on my end. I'm just so grateful everyday is a new day, I get to refill my patience cantene and be a happy mommy as the new day begins:)

Time Capsule...
10 years ago, our young womens put this time capsule together, and we weren't allowed to open it for 10 years! Truly I never really thought I could or would actually wait 10 years to open it. But lo and behold I did and was eager to take a can opener to it. I vagly remembered a couple of things I had put in it. So I brought it to my parents house and made Kate and the whole family watch me open my capsule.
So here's what was inside!... My favoirte chapstick (kiwi strawberry), picutures of friends and volleyball, my favorite music group N*Sync, MY FIRST TRAINING BRA, haa haa don't ask me what I put it in or why I still had it at the age of 16:), A note from one of my best friends Grace, A New Year's Bell from one of the best new years dances, stuff on notes about my crushes and last a 2 pg. paper on information our leaders had us fill out about ourselves. It was fun to read...boy oh boy was i a flirt and a bit immature...but hey i turned out ok right?:) Anway it was fun and brought a lot of memories back! If your in YW this is a must activity!!!

29 weeks
Only 11 more weeks to go and i'm really going to have this little boy! I still feel great and forget most of the time I have this huge belly attached, and run into things or get stuck trying to get out of the public restroom stall:)
I'm not running anymore, although during Thanksgiving I ran close to a mile with Kate and I mentally felt great, but started cramping, so had to stop. But I've been so blessed to be healthy during this pregnancy and blessed that i've been able to stay active with Takoda.
Takoda knows that his baby brother is in my belly, but what he doesn't know is that one day he's going to come out!... and I think he likes that fact that he can just say baby brother is in mommy's tummy and not have to deal with anything else:) I'm nervous about balancing the two (because I always have a hard time with balance) but I'm hoping if I take it a day at a time it will be fine. So all in all, i'm excited and can't wait to meet little bliss boy!

This is what we woke up to...

It snowed! Yes in Vegas! We woke up at 9:00 (trust me it was a miracle that we both slept in)... but I think if we woke up an hour or two earlier, we would have had lots more. By 10:00 it had all melted. Takoda of course loved it, but didn't like that his shoes were wet afterwards.



I know I need to update you on the pregnancy... I go in tomorrow for my check up, so my next post look forward to a big belly picture:) Not a naked belly picture...just a pregnant picture of me:) haa haa
