Potty Training

We ran out of diapers on Tuesday so I told Brandon I had to go to Sam's Club to buy more. When I came home from the gym, Brandon was installing our little toilet. (We have this miniature toilet that we bought when we were potty training Jordan because she would only go #2 in the toilet when she was at church. We decided it was because they had a kid toilet so we bought one to try it out and it worked perfectly!) "So I guess today is the big day huh?" I said to him. "Yup." And so it began.

Tegan has reacted very differently than my other two. She is the same age as they were when we started them but she doesn't care too much. She doesn't tell us when she needs to go and is perfectly fine with going in her pants. But she also doesn't mind if you put her on the toilet. So you just have to make sure to do it before it starts flowing. I figured she was ready because she absolutely hated me changing her diaper and would throw a fit every time I tried. And she is my only one that would go hide when she had to go #2.

I know this is a long process. At least it was for my others. We don't go anywhere. (Not that we really did before with the new baby and all.) And we spend lots of time on the potty. Which, as you can see, is quite versatile =D (She hasn't gone #2 since day one so we are fine with letting her camp out here.)
Hopefully she will start to want to relieve herself in the toilet cause I'll tell you what, it is not easy taking a toddler to the bathroom every 20 minutes and feeding a baby every hour!

Call Me Crazy

Alright, so all I've been able to think about the last couple of weeks is having another baby! No, I don't want one right now but once you finally decide to have another baby, it usually takes a month or so to get pregnant (at least) and then you have to wait the 9 months. I don't know if it's because I feel so great right now or because I think I've finally caught on to the whole mommy thing that adding another one doesn't seem too bad? I just want to getting the other one started you know? It's been so much fun having Parley! And I really don't even feel like I had a baby 4 weeks ago! Definite thumbs up on the ab exercises during pregnancy too cause although I gained a little more with this one than with Tegan, my stomach is a whole lot tighter than it was after having her. Everything has just gone so perfectly, I guess I must be in lala land or something haha! So besides the fact that I feel like my house is plenty big for a couple more, or that I really can't wait to see what another baby would look like, I really did want to have all my kids by the time I was 30. That only gives me 3 more years! I know what you're all thinking....if I get pregnant this year I would have the baby in 2011 which would ruin my even year pattern. Well believe it or not, I'm totally willing to do that! I know, crazy! And I'm not even on any happy pills! =O

Well don't worry, Brandon's not on board. He wants to wait till all the debt is paid off. (which won't be anytime soon.) But I'll definitely be good to go whenever he changes his mind! =D
