Potty training

So today was the day. I let peanut keep her diaper on until after her nap and then it was time. We room off her diaper and pants and she walked around the house bare bummed. We had two complete successes in the potty and about 20 accidents. She started to get the feeling of having to pee towards the end of the day. We went out to dinner and the whole time she was asking to go pee but as she doesn't like big toilets yet I kept her diaper on. I must say potty training is a bit intimidating. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long for her to get the hang of it. She also figured out how to climb out of her crib so this weekend we will be converting her crib to a bed. It's going to get interesting folks!

Positive Thinking

It has been a long few weeks. Numerous things have happened and I had so many other responsibilities to take care of but they are finally almost over. I have decided (well I decided a little while ago) that I am no longer going to go to a negative place as it doesn't do anyone any good. I am going to take the positive out of everything and work with what I have. So far it is proving to be good, its not as hard as I thought it would be. The problem is that when people say hurtful things it takes me a long time to forget. Last night peanut woke up around 10pm and wanted to go to bed with mommy. I cuddled her in beside me while A went and watched TV. I must admit on the few nights that she does sleep with me I do enjoy it. I don't get many cuddles throughout the day as she is daddy's girl but at night she can't get close enough :)



So there I am with my beautiful daughter beside me and all I can think about is the hurtful things that had been said to me hours before. After about an hour I finally chased them out of my head and went to sleep. I woke up this morning and decided it was going to be a good day and so far it has. I am exhausted from doing a million things this weekend but I am healthy, I have a beautiful daughter, a wonderful husband and a baby on the way that hasn't made me sick as of yet!!

So tonight I am going to go home, make a nice dinner (maybe!) and then clean up the house a bit before heading to bed. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week and we have a weekend family vacation to look forward to next Friday. All is good

Mommy's Tired .....

Yesterday was a good day... I left work and picked up peanut from daycare. She was eating dinner when A and I got there because she saw the rest of the kids eating. So we talked to her sitter for 20 minutes while she had not 1 but 2 plates of food! We then headed home and relaxed downstairs with my MIL for a bit. I headed upstairs (Dragging my feet the whole way) to make dinner for my BIL and his GF. It was Taco night - seems to be one of the foods I always want when i'm pregnant. After about 5 temper tantrums from peanut dinner was ready and we were sitting down to eat. After dinner BIL had a yummy brownie ice cream cake for dessert. I don't know why but i'm not a huge dessert person, I normally only have about 5 bites and i'm done which makes A very happy because he gets to finish my leftovers.

It was about 8:30 and since peanut had daycare in the morning it was time for her to get to bed. After yet another tantrum she was in her jammies and lying cozy in her crib. We then sat down to watch a movie... I was already admittedly thinking about going to bed as it was 9pm and I figured I could read my magazines but I wanted to be sociable. We started the movie and within 5 minutes a guy had his hand blown off, someone else got his knee blown out and another got shot in the face! That was it for me...not my kind of movie. I gave Duke (One of our dogs) his thyroid pill, yes he has a problem, and packed up my magazines. I kissed everyone goodnight and headed on my way.
Now I know that you are supposed to be tired while pregnant and I was with peanut BUT this is just getting crazy. I'm around 14 weeks and it hasn't eased at all. I guess the severe vitamin D deficiency and the thyroid problem doesn't help much but geez! I'm used to going to bed around 11 so losing three hours at night is screwing me all up with housework etc...

So fast forward to this morning - I wake up on my own which is good and lie in bed until the alarm goes off 20 minutes later. When it is time to get up I can barley open my eyes because they are all swollen and sore (I have no idea!!). So here I am trying to get myself going, feed the dogs, let them out, give Duke his pill, get lunch ready and get peanut up and dressed and out the door and all I want to do is crawl back into bed. Never mind the fact that we are leaving work at 3 today because A is taking me to the city for a surprise night out, to which I ask "What time are we getting home?".

It's only about an hour into work and I still can't seem to wake up - I really need a pick me up because I have a long, yet exciting, day ahead of me and I can't seem to get excited! UGH

Why is it so hard to be a woman/mommy sometimes????

Thanks for listening to my rant.... more on the surprise later :)

My First official post

My cousin D has a blog on here and I found it extremely interesting to read. While my life doesn't seem quite as interesting I like the idea that she is using it to both heal a bit and to keep a log for her beautiful babies. I'm not sure if anyone other than me will read this but nonetheless I will try to keep it updated.

Nothing too exciting is happening at the moment. My Daughter Ladybug , my husband and myself are having dinner with family tonight and then probably heading to bed early. It has been a long and exhausting weekend/week so far. Tomorrow my husband A has arranged a surprise trip for me. We are leaving work at 3 and heading out - I have no idea where so it should be a lot of fun. You shall know at a later date where we went.

Thanks for reading!
