Pee Pee in the Potty!

It's been a while. I have been trying to pass the time with this pregnancy by keeping busy with Channing since school got out. Finally, after much anticipation, I finished my last day of school at Eastern (July 17) and am now an official graduate. It seemed like it would never come, but one lesson I have learned is that no matter what you do... time will pass... so you better enjoy every day!

So as of today I am 37 weeks and 1 day into my pregnancy and our little one is considered full-term, ready to come at any time. If he came soon, he'd be smaller (which I wouldn't mind) but my body is telling me that he isn't coming for a while. I am getting a bit nervous for labor; last time round was a nightmare. However, this time we have Pamala! Yup, I have officially hired a doula to help me with this labor and delivery. She will be at my side from the beginning of labor through a few hours postpartum or as long as we need her. She seems to be a wonderful woman whom I have enjoyed getting to know! I'm praying that she'll help us have a successful VBAC experience.

The newest venture in my life right now is most definitely with the Chan Man. He is an amazing kid! Don't all moms say that about their kids? Well, he is. He just turned 18 months old and we found him the other day sitting on our toilet...

Lets just say I took it as a sign. I might be crazy for trying this just weeks before the delivery of his little brother but for the last three days we have been potty training and he has made amazing progress! We got some big boy undies and a froggy potty. I let him run around the house naked or in his undies and when he needs to go pee he is actually making it to his potty chair and going! Sometimes, he'll start to go and I will have to stop him (he'll actually start to hold it) then we'll run to sit on the potty and he'll finish in it. It's the cutest thing ever. After he pees we take it to the bathroom and flush it down the toilet together waving bye bye! So, I think that I will just keep it up, although it gets exhausting watching him like a hawk, it'll be nice if we can have only one child in diapers.
